Captions template
Lower third – simple animation
Name and role with an accent bar, for interviews and talking heads. A ready-made captions animation: change the content, pick the style and motion, then export a video for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or YouTube.
It starts on a transparent background, so you can export a MOV or WebM and lay it over your own footage. The example reads “Maya Chen”, “Founder, Northwind Studio”; replace it with your own.
Good for: lower third, name, interview.
