Let’s take a look at the interface, and see what tools will be at your disposal.
Category: Tell us what your video is focusing on! We’ll then display a variety of different themes for you to choose from which have each been individually designed to fit your needs.
Logo: If we’ve featured an option for you to add your branding in a specific template, here is where you select the specific layer for us to use in the lower third.
Title: Type in what you want the viewer to read!
Subtitle: If the template supports a subtitle, this is the smaller text that will usually appear beneath the title, such as a date, or a job title.
Colour pickers: Use the colour picker to help show off your brand!
Smart Colour Change: This special tool will change the colour of similar elements included in the design, so it automatically matches your picked colour style.
In/Out: Decide exactly when you want the lower-third to appear and disappear!
Create New Comp: When deselected, the lower third will be directly imported into the current open composition. When turned on, it is built in a separate composition.
Create: Once you’re happy with all of your settings, hit this to let the magic happen!
Installing the script is a swift process. Just drop both the “Crate’s Lower Thirds.jsx” and “images” folder into your After Effects > Scripts folder Open up After Effects, and run the script by heading through File -> Scripts -> Crate’s Lower Thirds
We are excited to see how you make use of this lower-thirds generator!
