Thanks for the compliment MA. I saw the results that were posted here and I must say it's great that someone has put so much time and effort into making it possible for anyone to get a title crawl made for their fan films. It has inspired me to write a tutorial on how to make the crawls. The main problem is that my projects suffer from something akin to the Y2K dilemma. I started making them one way and over time improved on them by simply adding to what I already had instead of starting fresh. It would be more time consuming than anything else to go through it and strip it down to only what is really relevant. Then of course the question would be what crawl should make the tutorial for. Ep I? II? III? IV? V? VI? They're all different and require specific tweaking to get them to look like the films they are supposed to emulate. Maybe when I get inclined enough and have the time I'll sit down and try to hammer one out.

One other thing I just thought of. My tutorial would require Adobe After Effects and Illustrator or Photoshop. I know that not everyone can afford these programs, so is there any interest in even having me write a tutorial? I don't mean to hi-jack this thread. so maybe I'll just forget the whole thing for now.
