Help: looking for assistance with... the Rogue One Crawl

I do need a little help from any skilled editors out there to help out one spot that lasts about 1 - 2 seconds.

I wanted to add a crawl to Rogue One and found this on Youtube.

Fortunately he offered the tools and resources to tweak your own crawl, which is great for a noob like me! I downloaded the After Effects Trial and messed around with it. You can write your own crawl (though it needs to have the same number of lines to time display correctly) and spliced it together with his video for the moving stars.

However, towards the end, there is some jerky movement. You can find it on 1:51-52. Here is the clip from my intro where you can see it:

If you watch the original creator, he too has the clunky movement.

There is where I need help … if anyone could smooth out or help smooth out that split second or two. Granted it is fairly small and I am happy with the rest of the edit … but I would love for it to be PERFECT!

So if anyone has the time to look at this and have a fix … I would greatly appreciate it. This is the first time I have adventured into film editing.

It’s probably due to that being the point at which the crawl meets the pre-existing footage. Also, the frame rates might be different.
Also, Jackpumpkinhead and myself both have created completely free crawl creators that use blender in case your trial of After Effects ends before completion.

I would be interested in playing around with that, I can restart the trial using app scrubber to try out After Effects again. Can you shoot me a PM with that? I’d greatly appreciate it!
