Star Wars Credits Font



If you want to create movie-credits style animations in PowerPoint, you will miss the Crawl Entranceanimation option that was available in older versions of PowerPoint. You can substitute Crawl withFly In, and change the animation speed to something slower such as 15 seconds, and also setthe direction of the Fly In animation to From Bottom.

The Star Wars credits style is a variant of the Crawl animation. In this style, the text crawls from bottom tothe top, as it also does with Crawl. Additionally, the text diminishes in size all the time until it fades intooblivion. It is a real neat effect, and it is possible to accomplish it inPowerPoint 2010 if you combine multiple animations.

  • The Star Wars logo lettering is very similar to a font named Starjedi created by Boba Fonts, which is free to use and you can download it for free here. If you do not want to download and install the font but just like to create simple text logos using Star Wars Font, just use the text generator below.
  • This tilting, capitals-only typeface font has a whole lot of variations and connections. When it involves making an effect with fonts, Star Wars knows what it’s doing. Before we even see spaceships and lightsabers, we are handled to more than one fonts that set the scene and increase excitement lettering for this outer space.
  • In Recon Squadron, I used Franklin Gothic Medium Cond, and it looks exactly like the real credits. One detail to be aware of is that the names are 20% larger than the titles (e.g. In 'Directed by GEORGE LUCAS', 'GEORGE LUCAS' should be 20% larger than 'Directed by'). For the text color, I used R=28, G=165, B=225, and that is pretty close.

The original Star Wars font crawl is known as Franklin Gothic but has become known as 'Univers'. All six films from the Lucas era use the Gothic/Univers font. The first three films used sophisticated camera work to produce the crawl.

To get started, download our ready to use Starfield PowerPoint template thatalready has a night sky background image. In the download, you will find the Starfield template available in both Standard andWidescreen resolutions. You can use the one that you prefer. Before we proceed further, do remember to save your presentation aftereach step!

  1. Open the Starfield PowerPoint template file in PowerPoint 2010. To create a newPowerPoint presentation based on this template, save the file with a new name. Your saved presentation may now have two slides.Delete one of the slides so that there is only one slide left. Thenchange the Slide Layout of the remaining slide toBlank, as shown in Figure 1, below.
    Figure 1: New PowerPoint Presentation based on Starfield template
  2. Now insert a Text Box on your slide andtype one or two lines of the credits text. With the Text Box selected,align text to the center of the Text Box, andalign the Text Box to the center of theslide as shown in Figure 2. Since the background is dark, the text needs to be in white or any lighter color.You might also want to make the text bold and/or increase the size of the font (see Figure 2 again).
    Figure 2: Text added
  3. Now drag the Text Box to the bottom center of the slide and choose the Animations tab on theRibbon, highlighted in red withinFigure 3. With the Text Box selected, click the Add Animation button, as shown highlighted inblue within Figure 3.
    Figure 3: Add Animation button
  4. This brings up the Add Animation drop-down gallery. Scroll down to the bottom of this drop-down gallery andselect the Lines animation within the Motion Paths section, highlighted inred within Figure 4.
    Figure 4: Lines animation
  5. You will now find that the selected Text Box on the slide has a Motion Path animation applied, as shown inFigure 5, below. This is indicated by the Line you see which has a reversed green arrowhead on one side, and a redarrowhead on the other, as shown in Figure 5, below. This actually indicates that this Motion Pathanimation plays towards the Down direction.

  6. We need to change the direction of the Motion Path to Up. To do that, select the Text Box andaccess the Animations tab on the Ribbon. Then click the Effect Options button(highlighted in red within Figure 6). From the drop-down menu that appears, choosethe Up option, as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 6.
    Figure 6: Up option
  7. Within the Animations tab on the Ribbon, click the Animation Pane button tobring up the Animation Pane, as shown in Figure 7, below. Within the Animation Pane,double-click the Motion Path animation (highlighted in red withinFigure 7).
    Figure 7: Motion Path animation within the Animation Pane
  8. This will bring up the Up dialog box, as shown in Figure 8. Within this dialog box, access theEffect tab, and match your values to the ones shown in Figure 8, below.
    Figure 8: Effect tab within Up dialog box
  9. Next access the Timing tab in the same dialog box and match your values to the ones shown inFigure 9, below.
    Figure 9: Timing tab within Up dialog box
  10. Now select the Motion Path on your slide. This is the path that has a green and a red arrowhead on either side.If you see two white handles on either side of the Motion Path, you then know that the path is selected.
  11. Drag the white handle on the top of your Motion Path to the top of the slide. Ensure that the top of theMotion Path is somewhere close to the top of your slide, as shown in Figure 10. You might want topreview the animation to fine-tune the placements of the top and bottom ends of your Motion Path.

  12. With your Text Box still selected, add another animation. The animation you need to add now is Emphasis |Grow/Shrink. Next, double-click the Grow/Shrink animation in the Animation Pane,as previously explained in Step 7. Within the Effect tab of the Grow/Shrink dialog box, match your values to the ones you see in Figure 11, below.
    Figure 11: Effect tab within Grow/Shrink dialog box
  13. Similarly, access the Timing tab of the same dialog box, and match your values to those shown inFigure 12, below. Do note that we changed the Start value to With Previous. Thisensures that the selected animation will happen along with our previous animation, simultaneously.
    Figure 12: Timing tab within Grow/Shrink dialog box
  14. Let us now explore what we have achieved so far. The first animation we added was a Motion Path that movedthe Text Box from the bottom of the slide upwards. The second animation was an Emphasis animation that reducedthe size of the Text Box. Moreover, the second animation happened at the same time as the first one. We still need to add a thirdanimation so that our Text Box fades into oblivion as it exits upwards from the slide.
    To do so, make sure that your Text Box is selected. Then add an Exit | Fade animation. Next,double-click the Fade animation in the Animation Pane, as previously explained inStep 7. Within the Timing tab of the Fade dialog box, match your values to the onesyou see in Figure 13, below.
    Figure 13: Timing tab within Fade dialog box
    Since we require all the three animations to happen simultaneously, we chose the same speed for all three. Notice that theDuration value is set to 3 seconds (Slow) in Figure 13, above. You will notice thesame durations for the other two animations in Figures 9 and 12. If you want to choose a differentspeed, you’ll need to change the Duration value in all three animations.
  15. Next, drag the Text Box downwards to outside the Slide Area. This will ensure that the text is not seen in a non-animated state while viewing inSlide Show view. Preview and fine-tune again asrequired. You might want to extend the Motion Path upwards to compensate for the added downward distance of theText Box, as shown in Figure 14, below.
    Figure 14: Text re-arranged
  16. Duplicate the Text Box by copying and pasting as many Text Boxes you need. Change the text credits as required by typing over theexisting text, and then place the new Text Boxes immediately over the earlier Text Box. You will repeat to create as many Text Boxesas required. Since all the Text Boxes overlap each other, it might be a little difficult to edit the text within them later. Use theTab key to select each of these Text Boxes one at a time so that you don’t make changes inadvertently in a Text Boxthat you did not intend to edit!
  17. Preview your slide. You might also want todownload a copy of thepresentation we created to check the settings used.

  18. More Ideas

    • We just duplicated an animated Text Box within the same slide. You can carry this concept forward to duplicate TextBoxes across slides and even presentations, thus making short work of an otherwise tedious job.
    • Experiment with adding a Star Wars style sound track to the credits slide. You can search the internet for a Star Warstheme sound in WAV or MP3 format. Whatever you do, make sure you are respecting copyright implications.
