- 'Une production Lucasfilm Limited' is too big and the timing is not perfect.

- 'Il y a bien longtemps...' looks good but the timing is not perfect

- Your crawl begin 1 frame too early. The speed of the crawl is a bit too high.

After finally looking at this again, I have a few remarks about these:

Logo placement isn't a problem, although when I move the French opening clip (with the Star Destroyer flying overhead) to the same exact position as Harmy's video track, the Fox logo is shifted way to the left. Since I'll be using Harmy's Fox logo, its position in relation to the title cards will be different from the French home video versions.

So the question here is, should I properly center the title cards, or leave them (noticably) off center to the right?

The opening logo doesn't start a frame too early in my version, since I've timed it to the english opening logo, and when I do that, the rest of the film lines up as well. If I make the logo appear one frame earlier, the rest of the film plays one frame earlier as well, and we obviously wouldn't want that. I guess the French opening logo sequence (from Fox logo to before the LGdÉ logo) is simply one frame shorter than the English one, but since we're timing this to the GOUT (audio and picture-wise), the English timing will be the way to go.

The crawl isn't moving too fast, but it's scaled incorrectly instead. The "La Guerre des Étoiles" logo is squashed vertically, so I should squash my logo and crawl as well. I'll fix that.

Colorwise I think I'll just use Harmy's colors for the Lucasfilm and "A long time ago" cards, since those greens and blues look different in each transfer.
