Can this be adapted for a 2.35:1 aspect ratio? I know the difference is negligible but I’m looking for maximum accuracy to the original release rather than subsequent re-releases. Though it’s only a 12 pixel difference when dealing with 1080p letterboxing.

EDIT: I’m admittedly having trouble getting a a straight answer on whether the original release was 2.35:1 or 2.39:1, as the two are often used interchangeably despite this not being accurate.

EDIT2: Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but the Blu-Ray release of ANH seems to have a resolution of 1920x816, which corresponds more closely to 2.35:1, rather than 2.39:1 which would be closer to 1920x804.

I’m working off of the 4k releases, so I can’t speak to the blu-ray versions, but at least according to:

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Un-Nouvel-Espoir-4K-Blu-ray/369156/

The original aspect ratio was 2.39. To my recollection, the only exception to this is TFA, which uses 2.40 instead

Thanks for the quick response. From googling more, it seems it was filmed in 2.35:1, and this is how it was presented in previous releases, but for the 4k, they’ve opted for the more modern standard of 2.39:1.
This just means a tiny sliver is chopped off the top and/or bottom of the frame for these newest releases.

In any case, I’m sure I can account for the miniscule difference with your template by lining it up with the crawl on a Blu-Ray rip. I haven’t been able to play with it yet, as I don’t have Resolve. I’ve been clinging onto Final Cut Pro 7 for dear life, but the time is fast approaching where I’m going to have to join you in the future.

I do have a version of your custom crawl, shared by a friend, so I assume it’s correct. If you’ve ever updated it, please send me a PM though. 😃

Interesting! Either way, you should be able to just zoom it in just a tad (it’s scalable)

And just the one version! If you don’t have any of the fonts lmk and I can pm you the drive folder with everything

Hello there! I’ve written a Star Wars inspired murder mystery party and found this thread looking for tutorials on how to create a custom crawl to introduce the players to the murder case. I would love to get access to your templates!

Hi, I’d definitely be interested in getting the template! I sent a reply to this thread last night, but for some reason I can’t see it here. Don’t want to spam, so if this gets deleted I’ll just wait until I can PM you.

Thanks! Love the work!

Hello, this is fantastic, would you mind sharing with me, please? I’m actually working on a Star Wars Fan Film type of video for my wedding, and this would be perfect to use for the intro. I appreciate this so much. Thank you!

Small thing that was brought to my attention, when you’re creating your timelines, make sure you’re in 23.976 fps (blu-ray).

It’s what this crawl was based on and apparently keeping it at the DaVinci Resolve default 24 glitches out the very top line of the Episode number to be ever so slightly visible. If you had that issue, give it a go at 23.976 and see if that fixes the issue!

I’d love for someone to upload a video using this template just so I can see how it looks all rendered out. Anyone? 😃

something like this? This is using the prequel settings

That looks like a lot of effort and it’s much appreciated by all, I’m sure. As a relative noob to Resolve, i need all the help I can get so a copy would be much appreciated.

Many thanks and regards

Ooh yes please! If you wanted to create a little screen record of you setting it up it’d be great too (just a suggestion!)

That’s the plan! Working on adding in end credits template to the pack as well, but once that’s done I was going to record a video and post it! Sending DM to ya

omg, I can’t access my DM… maybe because I’m new member, I tried to contact a moderator then I got a message like new member must wait 7 days to be able to do have a private conversation (that’s maybe why I can’t acces private message section)… so at least I can’t even contact a moderator. >_<
I wanted to work this weekend with DaVinci and finally very happy to be able to use your fusion template because it seem very accurate to the movie version, any others way to get it ?

huh, strange! I’ll dm a mod to see if I’m allowed to post in here, otherwise keep an eye on when those dms open!
