Use it as an editable DaVinci Resolve title

Export this asset as a .drfx template for DaVinci Resolve 21+ on macOS and Windows, instead of a rendered clip. These settings become controls in the Resolve Inspector, so you can change them for each video without rendering again:

  • Accent Label Text
  • Main Title Text
  • Bar Background Color
  • Label Text Color
  • Title Text Color
  • Bottom Accent Line Color
  • Banner Width
  • Banner Height
  • Label Font Size
  • Title Font Size
  • Bottom Offset
  • Horizontal Internal Padding
  • Elements Gap
  • Border Radius
  • Show Bottom Accent Line
  • Drop Shadow Depth
  • Entrance Frames Duration
  • Text Delay Stagger

Add the asset to your workspace and choose DaVinci on its card. The editable export is a one-time unlock of 15 tokens (5 for your own assets); downloading it again is free. If the asset can't be packaged as a Resolve title, the export stops before any tokens are charged.

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.
Frequently asked questions+

How do I change the text in a lower third?

Use the workspace editor before rendering to update name, title, and any other text fields. The template exposes all text parameters for editing.

What font size is best for lower thirds at 1080p?

Primary name text at 48–56px and subtitle/title text at 28–36px provides good legibility on both desktop and mobile screens.

Is this asset free to use?

Yes. You can add and customize community assets for free, then download one rendered WebM or ProRes 4444 clip per day with a watermark to use in your video projects. Exporting an asset as an editable DaVinci Resolve title is a separate paid unlock.

Can I customize this asset?

Use the live configuration above to preview changes, then sign up for a free account to add this asset to your workspace. From there you can edit colors, text, timing, and other properties before rendering.

What formats are available?

Rendered clips are available as WebM with alpha channel and ProRes 4444. Both include true transparency for clean compositing in your timeline. Assets with supported text, color, number and on/off settings can also be exported as editable DaVinci Resolve 21+ titles (.drfx).
