Bonjour,
I would like to create a scrolling text like at the beginning of the
Lucas' film starwars.
On the internet, I can find some ubuntu starwars program, but I am
unable to find it for fedora (or find the source code).
Does anyone know some program to produce such a scrolling text under linux?
Thank you.
If you mean simply to create an animation like that, and not some
integrated-into-the-desktop thing, then the default answer in the open
source linux world is almost alwasy "Blender."
See, for instance, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiSMEbNIPtc
Here's the Blender site:
https://www.blender.org/
You can either download it an run it from your home directory or install
it using dnf. I usually do the former because I like having the very
latest version and there's often a teensy delay in upgrading it in the
repositories. Not much of one, but I'm a Blender junkie.
Be aware that Blender is like most high-powered modeling animation
packages -- it has a nontrivial learning curve. The up side is that
once you've done the work for that learning curve, you can do all sorts
of cool stuff with much less marginal effort.
I use Blender for forensic animations. For a simple rotating body with
an arrow through it, it took me about two hours to get it work right.
However, from that point on, each *different* similar animation only
took about 5 minutes.
And, for Star Wars, obligatory hat tip to:
