^ Nice snark. 6/10.
I am curious though, given how many projects here have custom crawls. I’ve seen some that are virtually indistinguishable from official ones, and some that have problems with spacing, aliasing, etc. Is there a preferred method among editors here?

In the past when I’ve done it I type it up in Photoshop to get the spacing and everything how I want it. Then I bring it into after effects, put it against a starfield from whatever movie I’m working from, then tilt the layer and key frame the motion to recede at the proper rate. Then fade the layer at the end before the pan down.

In keeping with tradition, your crawl should have 3 paragraphs. But the wording is excellent
