Stargate SG-1 has had several opening title sequences, which are generally preceded by a teaser act.
The credits are normally sixty seconds long.
Richard Dean Anderson was the only SG-1 actor whose name appeared before the show's title.
Michael Shanks' name was moved near the end of the opening credits with the appendage "as Daniel Jackson" after his return to the show in Season 7.
Some DVD versions of early SG-1 seasons have different opening credits from the television versions, as do the direct-to-DVD films.
Composer Joel Goldsmith adapted David Arnold's Stargate feature film score for SG-1's opening title theme, which remained the same during the run of Stargate SG-1 and its direct-to-DVD films.

The first opening title sequence, used in the first five seasons, shows a slow-pan camera move over Ra's mask.
The Stargate SG-1 producers had run out of time before the premiere of Season 1 and simply re-used the accelerated opening title sequence of the feature film.
Ra's mask had been created in the feature film's model shop and had originally been filmed with a motion-control camera.
Partly because Ra's mask looked cross-eyed, Brad Wright approached the art department in the following years to produce a new opening title sequence; however, the sequence remained the same until the show's move to the Sci-Fi Channel.
During the first five seasons when the show was syndicated, a separate introduction was used; this intro is still used by Sci-Fi for Seasons 1–5.
This version uses action shots of the original cast.

The opening title sequence of the first two Season 6 episodes shows a turning Stargate, for which a Frazier lens was put as close as ​¹⁄₈ inch (3 mm) to the Stargate prop.
The opening credits of the following episodes intercut this material with live-action shots of the characters from previous seasons and ended with the SG-1 team stepping through the Stargate.
The opening credits stayed the same in the next two seasons except for minor clip and cast changes.
The opening credits of Season 9 intercut shots of the Stargate with action sequences similar to the previous opening credits, although the Stargate was visibly computer-generated.
The Sci Fi Channel cut the opening credits from sixty to ten seconds in their original broadcast of the first half of Season 9, but re-instated the full opening credits after strongly negative fan reactions.
The writers poked fun at this move in SG-1's milestone episode "200" in Season 10, showing a five-second clip instead of the full titles.
Beginning with Season 10's "Company of Thieves", the last clip of the opening credits shows Vala Mal Doran almost missing SG-1's trip through the Stargate.
