I have extracted the Title fade and the crawl from TESB and ANH blu-rays respctively. I manually removed the excess black background from the Title after using some video processes to isolate the color portion and forcing everything else to black. It would have been much simpler if the title wasn’t black text with a yellow border. There was just no easy way to do it. I matched the fade out to the LD source. I used almost the same process to get the crawl, but I had to add a layer to bring out the area where it fades. I didn’t need to edit the individual frames since there was nothing black that I needed to keep so it is a simple lighten layer. I need to still tweak the starfield, but I have the alignment between the starfield a moons. This rendering is just a draft of where it is now. I’m checking the alignment, star brightness, star placement, and pan for issues and overt differences from the original. The flyover at the end is just a place holder and is from TN1’s SSE bonus 81 Crawl sequence.
