Form fields explained

The opening text that appears before the title card. The classic text is “A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…” but you can customize this to anything you want.
These two fields create the iconic split title. The original uses “STAR” and “WARS” but you can use any text to create your own title sequence.
The episode designation that appears after the main title, such as “Episode IV” or your own custom episode number and subtitle.
The heading text that appears at the beginning of the crawling text sequence. This sets up the story context.
The main body of text that scrolls up the screen. This is where you tell your story. The text will crawl into the starfield just like the opening of Star Wars films.
Your email address where the generated video will be delivered. Make sure this is correct as you won’t be able to retrieve your video otherwise.
Choose the quality of your output video:
  • SD: Good for web sharing and smaller file sizes
  • HD: Best for most uses, balances quality and file size
  • 4K: Highest quality for professional projects

​
