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.

No, but I know how it was done. The technique was discovered by accident during the 30's when they were filming a standard crawl, but the screen with the words on it was tilted, making it look like the words were receding into the distance. It was fairly common in the old chapter-a-week serials, but was mostly forgotten until Lucas used it. Not sure if that helps, but I thought you might find it interesting.

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:
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:
% telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
billo

The openshot video editor is available in rpmfusion and it has an animated title option for that.
