Alkonium Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'm not asking for advice on how to do this, but offering it to others, or at least showing them how I do it. First, for the "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...." keep the font size at default, set the colour at Cyan, and put the break after the first "far". Then, for the Star Wars title, set the font colour to yellow, and set the size to be as large as possible, and remember to put a break after "Star". For the rest of the text crawl, return font size to default, and keep the colour yellow. It's three paragraphs, with generally five lines each, except for the last, which is usually one less, and typically four words to a line. Here are some examples from my RP series: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.... STAR WARS THE SITH RESURRECTION Darkness has engulfed the galaxy.The Sith have returned from hiding and declared an all-out war on the Jedi Order. Led by a Triumvirate of Sith Lords, this Sith Order has abolished the Rule of Two and now equals the Jedi in number. Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, one of these Sith Lords hunts down what Jedi he can.... A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away.... STAR WARS RISE OF THE JEDI It is a dangerous time for the Republic. The Sith, led by the Rodian Dar Bodonawieedo, have taken control of more than half the known galaxy. The Jedi, led by Hethra Iazoki, have begun to take a more aggressive stand against the Sith instead of simply defending what remains of Republic Space. In the skies above the Outer Rim world of Taris, the Republic plans on liberating what they hope to be the first of many worlds.... A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.... STAR WARS LAST STAND OF THE REPUBLIC War! The Republic is slowly gaining ground in its fight against the Risen Sith Empire. The Sith are crumbling. Victory is near. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, Darth Mortis, Dark Lady of the Sith, has secretly rebuilt a weapon that could spell certain doom for the fragile Republic. Deep within a region of space known only as the Forbidden Stars, two lone Jedi make a last-ditch break for freedom from the Sith.... A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.... STAR WARS ALLIANCES DIVIDED It is a period of tension in the Republic Senate. Following several attacks on Republic ships near the Unknown Regions, senators are debating whether or not to raise an army. The Jedi Order is determined to find out more about the disturbances before taking any decisive action,and have sent Jedi Master Reyvan Skyrider and his apprentice, Kalla Kaltas, to investigate. Their investigation has proven successful, but nothing could prepare them for what they found.... A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.... STAR WARS THE THREEFOLD WAR War has returned to an unprepared galaxy, with three factions fighting openly for control: The Third Galactic Republic, the New Galactic Empire, and the Rashikians. Secretly however, the New Empire is controlled by the Sith, led by the formerly deceased Darth Virul, Dark Lord of the Sith. In a daring move, the New Empire makes a strike at Amshrey, at the heart of Avalonian space.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Interesting, when I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be on how to create a moving text crawl, but this is still useful nonetheless. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. I know that as well. If you have a Mac, download Star Wars TSG for free, along with a copy of the Star Wars theme and the 20th Century Fox fanfare, and type your stuff into that, assemble it in iMovie, and upload it to YouTube.
