In this tutorial I'll teach you how to
create the classic Star Wars intro
2
00:00:05,850 --> 00:00:09,989
scrolling text crawl for your video
projects in Pinnacle Studio, using your
3
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:14,429
own text. Before we get started, if you're
watching this video on YouTube you'll
4
00:00:14,429 --> 00:00:18,060
find a link in the description below
that will take you to our tutorial page
5
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:22,140
on the Discovery Center. Here you can
download a written copy of this tutorial
6
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:28,260
to follow along. Let's get started.
I have Pinnacle Studio opened up under
7
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:32,759
the Edit tab. I'm going to drag the
background image I want to use onto A/V
8
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:38,850
Track 2 on my timeline. Now I'll select A/V Track 1 because that is where I want
9
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:46,260
to place my text, and then I'll click on
the Create Title icon here. You can type
10
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:50,280
in the text you want to use in this box
on the right side of the screen under
11
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,180
Text Settings.
I recommend typing out the text you want
12
00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:57,989
to use in advance in a simple text
editor like Notepad, so that you can
13
00:00:57,989 --> 00:01:02,699
easily copy and paste it into this
section. I'm going to open up the text
14
00:01:02,699 --> 00:01:09,750
I've already typed out in Notepad then
click Edit > Select All, then right-click
15
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:15,810
on my text and select Copy. Now I'll go
back to Pinnacle Studio and go over to
16
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:21,299
the text box then click and drag to
highlight all the pre-existing text and
17
00:01:21,299 --> 00:01:27,030
then click the Delete key on your
keyboard to erase it. Now hold down Ctrl
18
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:33,390
on your keyboard and press V to paste
your text into the box. Now I'll
19
00:01:33,390 --> 00:01:38,070
press Ctrl + A on my keyboard to
highlight all the text in the text box.
20
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:42,750
I'm going to change the font
type to Franklin Gothic Medium, which
21
00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:49,170
more closely matches the original Star
Wars intro font. I'm also going to adjust
22
00:01:49,170 --> 00:01:52,790
my font size to 48.
23
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:58,640
I can also click and drag on the grab
points at the edge of the text box on
24
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,729
the preview pane to resize the text
layer. Now we can click on the Align
25
00:02:04,729 --> 00:02:09,679
Center button to align our text into the
middle of the window or select Justify
26
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:16,000
Text, depending on your style preference.
Under Look Settings, click on Face
27
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,440
then click on the Fill Color icon and
choose a darker shade of yellow to match
28
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,709
the color from the original Star Wars
movie. Click Apply and now we're
29
00:02:27,709 --> 00:02:33,980
ready to add some motion. Let's click on
the Motions tab at the top then click on
30
00:02:33,980 --> 00:02:39,880
Emphasis and from here we're going to
select Roll Up.
31
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:45,800
Now let's click OK.
32
00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:51,400
If we preview this you'll see the text
scrolls way too fast. So what we're going
33
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,230
to do is hover our mouse over the edge
of the title on A/V Track 1 until the
34
00:02:56,230 --> 00:03:01,630
arrow icon pops up, then click and drag
to extend the length of the title to
35
00:03:01,630 --> 00:03:08,560
around 25 or 30 seconds. You can adjust
the duration length to be shorter or
36
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,720
longer depending on the length of your
text. We'll follow the same steps to
37
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,400
adjust the length of our background
image on A/V Track 2. I'm going to
38
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:26,830
preview this again and now I'm happy
with the speed of the text scroll. So now
39
00:03:26,830 --> 00:03:31,030
we need to customize the perspective of
the text crawl so it has the same style
40
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:37,140
as the Star Wars intro. To do this we'll
click on the title track on A/V Track 1
41
00:03:37,140 --> 00:03:41,309
then click on the Editor tab.
42
00:03:42,250 --> 00:03:50,760
Now select Effect > 2D/3D and then 3D
Editor CPU.
43
00:03:52,739 --> 00:03:58,689
First make sure to select No Preset and
then drag your playhead to a point on
44
00:03:58,689 --> 00:04:03,549
the timeline where you can see your text.
Also make sure to unlock the lock icon
45
00:04:03,549 --> 00:04:10,900
under Size so that we can adjust the
height to around 160. Then we'll go down
46
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:19,089
to Rotation and change the Tilt level to
minus 60. From here you might be happy
47
00:04:19,089 --> 00:04:25,810
with the effect as it is, or you can play
around with the Y and Z positions. I'm going
48
00:04:25,810 --> 00:04:31,180
to adjust position Z to 120 to decrease
the size of the title layer just a bit
49
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:36,400
so the text fits better on the screen.
You might also want to decrease or
50
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,008
increase position Y to change where the
text disappears as it crawls up. I'll
51
00:04:42,009 --> 00:04:47,590
adjust mine to 5 and if we preview our
video you'll see we have created a cool
52
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:51,580
scrolling text crawl that looks just
like the intros in the Star Wars films.
53
00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:56,229
