[Star Wars] Software for scrolling text?

[shadowlight]

So my gaming group is going to start a Star Wars campaign (or two) and I'd love to start out each session with a video clip of scrolling yellow text on a starfield (with starwars music playing in the background of course).

Does anyone know of a good free software package that can do this?

Thanks!!

Specifically, no. If you have or find something that let's you creat flash animations you could use that.

How about Microsoft Movie Maker 2? I can't remember, but I think it does moving titles. It's free for XP users.

When I was in college (a couple of years ago) I found a program that was a lot like Adobe Premier but free (lets you render text, non-linear audio & video editing, etc.) .. but I don't remember what it's called. However, I just found a program called Jahshaka (http://www.jahshaka.com/) that looks like it may do the same thing. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet though...

I use a mix of Adobe Photoshop and Flash MX. If you check out TheForce.net/theater, and look under tutorials, you might be able to find something there.

Excellent! I think I've found what I need here: http://www.theforce.net/theater/tutorials.shtml in case anyone else is looking for it.

Thanks!

No problem.

None of those tutorials are for freeware, though, or for software packages that are common.

There's actually a tutorial for Blender. It's a free 3D graphics package that's quite powerful. The only problem is that the interface is kind of obtuse. Fortunately there's a lot of documentation on Blender's website...

Cool. Hey, did you drive in to work, by the way, or did you get dropped off?
