Captions template
Lower third animation
Lower third is 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 “Dr. Maya Chen”, “Neuroscientist · Author”; replace it with your own.
Best for introducing a speaker, a guest or a location in interviews and vlogs.
