This is the app you are looking for...

Create your own custom scrolling text intro message, just like in Star Wars!

Enter your text using the app, and it creates a web page which opens in Safari!

Bookmark the page to view it again, anytime, and use the app to create more crawls (unlimited)!

Only $0.99... Want a promo code? Just POST HERE, in our thread in the Code Sharing forum, with what your crawl would 'say' and if it's funny/good enough, we'll send you a code!

Disclaimer: No unlicensed logos, artwork or sounds are used.
 
can you put a video file/or pic in the background and overlay the scrolling text on it? then export it as a video file so we can use it on the video editing app: ReelDirector?
probably a PITA to write but that would be sweet!!

how many lines of text can you have? can you change font size?

It sounds like you should just get iMovie, which has the crawl feature built-in, since iLife 06 I believe. The effect is called Far Far Away.

But I hope you'll enjoy StarWordz, for on-the-fly effects. You can even use it as a teleprompter!

Right now, it's set for three paragraphs (as long as you want to type). It doesn't allow you to change the font size, but the capability is there. Perhaps if we do an iPad version, where there's more space (pun intended) to work with...
