STAR WARS Episode IV : A New Hope ( Scroll / Crawl )

[DubleWhammy]

Very good. Only flaw is the text looks bigger then the original. Still very good ;D

[123merlin1]

I say the best

[D2000222]

Quite good.

Can you send me a copy of your file or show how you created it?

[CheriganShow]

how do you make it keep zooming out? Mine zooms out to a certain spot and stops. i'm using xp movie maker.

[sarahkb7]

The Star Wars logo zooming out is a very short video clip I recorded, by pointing a digital camera at my screen, then I uploaded it into the pc. You can then edit this clip into WMM, using blends and fades to cover the joins.

@CheriganShow you can see that it was on a TV screen, by the wat it glows, tht part wasnt WMM

[0SukMunky0]

How did you get it to be at such an angle? That's the main problem I've had with trying to make the text crawl in WMM. Please respond.

[sarahkb7]

I think I may know what your problem is. I used the Windows XP Home version of WMM to produce this and my other videos, and I believe the Vista version of WMM has a much steeper Perspective crawl. Is this is so, then the only way to replicate this with WMM is to downgrade from Vista to XP. Or buy a proper film editing program. Hope this helps.

[edamanteum]

this is pretty awesome,

you did a really good job :)

[sarahkb7]

Thanks :)

[jeohuinG]

Was WMM the only program you used?

[sarahkb7]

Yes

[LadyJadeLight]

SARAH YOU ROCK!!!!!!! you can do everything. lol (luv Xev)

[Hubbleknarf]

you don't need to make a video about that, thats something really obvious. Open Windows movie maker, select the titeling option, and there you can choose from different titles, including this one. its really simple.

[1999UTD]

its not simply, i did as you said; clicked the titleing option, and all you can chose from is what effect, colour and text. how do you change te speed, coz atm mine goes up really fast..

[Hubbleknarf]

you can adjust the speed by making the Titleling effect on the timeline longer or shorter. The best way to do creative things with windows movie maker is just to experiment a lot.

[1999UTD]

thanks =)

[1999UTD]

oh by the way, how do you get a pic in the background?

[Hubbleknarf]

You can choose to make a title in front of the screen. while selecting wath sort of title you want (i use the Dutch windows movie maker, so its kinda hard to explain). If you choose to make a title "on" the scene, you can put a picture of the stars in the Background or something like that. Hope you understand.

[1999UTD]

yeah i can kinda relate, thanks =)

chronic video brah. ballin'

[jedsithor]

You should try to find News Gothic for the main part of the crawl and the episode number, and Univers LightUltraCondensed for the title. Those are the actual fonts used in the crawl.

Not a bad job overall for Windows Movie Maker though.

[ps3fanboy101]

but how did you put it all together

[sarahkb7]

With Windows Movie Maker

[ps3fanboy101]

What font did u use

[sarahkb7]

"Franklin Gothic Book" for the "A long time ago", "SW Crawl Title" for the Episode name and "Franklin Gothic Medium Condensed" for the main scroll and end credits.

[ps3fanboy101]

How did you do that because I am making a movie but my opening crawls always come out sort of bad.

[sarahkb7]

What can't you do exactly? You were a bit vague....

[kelleranders]

How? I have WMM too, but i can´t make such a realistic scroll! Great!

[sarahkb7]

It takes patience,the correct fonts, backgrounds, music and timing.
