I have been editing Star Wars TV shows into movies for several years. One thing I have always struggled with is making the opening space pan shot immediately after the opening crawl. Its a relatively basic shot.... from the background starfield down (or up!) to the opening space shot.
However, its something that I've never been able to achieve to a high quality. I end up using the push transition on FCP along with some basic frame-by-frame layer masking and individual frame adjustment in photoshop. Very time consuming. I've tried Apple motion but its very basic and the interface is infuriating.
Is there a better way of achieving this.... I'm considering After Effects but I'm unfamiliar with adobe editing software. I guess what I ultimately want is a program that can render a 3D space scene with good quality rotoscoping.
Here was my most recent opening pan. The result was okay, but it could be so much better.

And this is the shot I need to pan into for my next edit.
