Text blink in – Crash movie opening credits?

[Grant Rupe]

I have uploaded an edited sequence of the opening credits from the movie Crash:

I feel like this gives the best idea to the type of effect I am looking for. I am creating the text for an astronomy video so I would like to give the text more of a “starry/space” feel…

I hope this gives a better idea for what I am looking for. Any tips or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

There are lots of options so one can never be sure how a particular graphic was done, but the first thing that comes to mind for that look is AE’s Fractal Noise as a track matte for text with Roughen Edges applied and perhaps a Glow over the whole thing. You could just keyframe the Fractal Noise parameters to slowly become more luminous.
