Star Wars scrolling text: how do I do it?

g4dude

Ya all know the beginning of star wars when the text zooms off into space. Well, I'm making a Lego star wars movie for my Spanish final (long story) and I want to know how to do it. These are the programs at my disposal: iMovie, Final Cut Pro 2, Premiere 6.0, and possible After Effects. Please help.

Does that effect in After Effects have a specific name?

ghost_user_name

no (to the best of my knowledge), it's just a matter of skewing the text properly. It's pretty straightforward if you've used the app before.

Well, I haven't. So I guess I have a week to teach myself After Effects, oh goody <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

A friend of mine did it perfectly in Adobe Premeire as well.
