Lower third templates
Name and title bars for interviews, podcasts, documentaries and news reports.
A lower third is the name-and-title bar in the lower part of the frame that tells viewers who is speaking. Good ones appear quickly, stay long enough to read twice and get out of the way.
These range from a simple accent bar to documentary and broadcast styles, with photos, handles and logos. Most start transparent, ready to place over your interview footage.

How long should a lower third stay on screen?
About four to six seconds: long enough to read the name and title twice. Longer starts to distract from the speaker.
Can I add a logo or photo?
Several lower thirds take a photo or logo, and every name, title and color is editable.
