Overview

Last Reel is a mobile app for making film end credits, designed for iOS and Android. Filmmakers add blocks — title cards, cast, crew, music cues — set the roll timing and look, and export a finished credit roll ready for the edit.

The challenge

Credits are dense, exact and unforgiving. The app had to fit a professional workflow — timecode, frame rates, codecs — onto a phone, while keeping a free plan useful and giving people a clear reason to upgrade.

Design foundations

Every screen is built only from these parts.

How we approached it

We organised the app in the order a person meets it: sign in, library, new project, editor, blocks, timing, export and settings. The editor keeps a live monitor on screen at all times, so every change is visible in the roll.

The plan model is built into the flows: three free projects, Pro formats unlocked by one opt-in ad per render, and no ads in the editor.

What we built

Live monitor

Preview the roll at true speed with frame-accurate timecode.

27 block types

Title cards, cast, crew, logos, music cues and more.

Bulk entry

Paste a crew list and it becomes formatted blocks.

Timing & look

Roll speed, fonts, backgrounds and safe-area guides.

Pro-grade export

H.264 and HEVC free; ProRes, PNG and 4K on Pro.

Fair freemium

One rewarded ad unlocks one Pro render. No interstitials.
