How to use this asset+

This 1920x1080 transparent video asset is 5 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.
