# Lower thirds with your brand: an animated name and title

Type a name and a title, paste your website for its colors, logo and type, and watch the lower third play. It exports as an MP4 on a green background to key out in Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut or OBS. The preview is free, no sign-up.

4. Export it as an MP4 on green screen, then key out the green in your video editor.

## Questions

### What is a lower third?

The title that appears in the lower part of the screen to say who is speaking: a name, and under it a role, a company or a handle. TV news, interviews, webinars and streams use them.

### How do I put a lower third on my video?

Export it as an MP4 on green screen and put it on a track above your video. Then apply your editor's chroma key (Ultra Key in Premiere Pro, Keyer in Final Cut Pro, 3D Keyer in DaVinci Resolve, Chroma key in CapCut, or a Chroma Key filter in OBS) to remove the green.

### Why green screen and not a transparent video?

Every editor can key out green, and an MP4 plays everywhere. A version with a transparent background is planned; for now the export is the MP4 on green.

### Does it use my brand's font?

The lower third is set in the template's typeface closest to your site's: the same family when your site uses one of the free fonts the template carries, and a similar one when it uses a commercial font. The preview says which one it chose.

### How long is it, and what sizes does it come in?

8 seconds: it comes in, holds the name on screen and goes out. It comes in 1920 × 1080 (16:9) and 1080 × 1920 (9:16).

### Is it free?

The preview is free and needs no account. The MP4 is exported from Opus Motion's studio with a free account, within the free exports of each day.
