How to use this asset and frequently asked questions
Free to customize and download
This lower thirds asset is free to add to your workspace and free to edit — adjust its text, colors, timing and layout before you export. Free accounts include one free render per day. Export ProRes 4444 for the widest professional editor compatibility, or WebM for OBS and web use. Transparent WebM can show glow or shadow artifacts in CapCut. No AI tokens are required for the daily Community render.
How to use this asset+
This 1920x1080 transparent video asset is 8 seconds long and exports in WebM (with alpha channel) and ProRes 4444 formats.
Premiere Pro: In the Essential Graphics panel, replace the placeholder text with your name or topic. Place on V2, position using Effect Controls > Motion, and set entry/exit keyframes.
DaVinci Resolve: Drop on a track above footage. Use the Inspector to set position in the lower 20% of frame. Edit text directly in the Inspector > Text fields.
Final Cut Pro: Add above your primary storyline. Click the clip to reveal text parameters in the Inspector. Use the Transform tool to position within the lower safe zone.
CapCut: Add as an overlay. Tap the text element to edit, then drag to position in the lower portion of the frame.
OBS Studio: Add as a Media Source and position in the lower third of your scene. Use it for live speaker identification or rolling topics during a stream. OBS supports WebM with alpha natively, so use the WebM export here — it keeps the file size far smaller than ProRes 4444 while preserving full transparency.
Tips
- Keep lower thirds visible for at least 4–6 seconds — viewers need time to read and process the text.
- Ensure high contrast between the lower third and your footage. A dark background behind light text (or vice versa) improves legibility across all viewing environments.
- Position within the bottom 20% of the safe zone to avoid conflict with YouTube subtitles and mobile player controls.
