Step 1

The first thing you want to do is download the Filmora video editor . Hit Install and allow the application to start automatically.

Step 2

Once the program loads, head straight over to the Titles tab and drag the Basic Title to Track 3 on the Timeline.

Also, drag the clip from the right side towards the left to make it 4 seconds long.

Step 3

Double-click on the Title clip in the Timeline and edit your Title’s font and size. A panel like this one should pop up when you double-click. When you’re done, click OK.

Step 4

Now, take a snapshot of the new Title that you just created.

Step 5

Next, we’re going to need a few more snapshots. But this time, double-click on the Title again and change its color to whichever one you like. Once you’ve changed its color, go ahead and click the same button as in Step 4 to take another snapshot.

Step 6

Next, double-click on the Title once again and go to “ADVANCED”. From there, go to Add Shape and select the Rectangle shape.

Step 7

Look to the left side panel and switch OFF the Text Fill button. Then, scroll down to the bottom and change the Shape Fill color to White.

Step 8

Now, adjust the rectangle’s shape to a thin line, rotate it, and move it into position like in the image.

Step 9

Delete the text layer from the Advanced panel.

Step 10

The final step in the Advanced panel is to go to the Animation tab from the left side panel and select the Round Zoom Out animation preset. Then, click OK.

Step 11

Now, it’s time to align the clips in the Timeline. First, move your Default Title clip 5 frames further. Then, drag the first snapshot to Track one and move it 8 frames forward.

Step 12

Go to Sample Color and drag the Black color to Track 3 in the Timeline. Align it directly on top of where the clip in Track 1 starts. Then, double-click on the black color clip and align it like in the image here.

Step 13

Now, place the Playhead at the beginning of the clip in Track 1. Then, double-click the snapshot clip in Track 1. Now, start increasing the value of the X-axis until it makes the text disappear, just as in this image here.

Step 14

Next, move the Playhead 10 frames further. Then, reset the position values by clicking on this button.

Step 15

Now, move the Playhead once more and set it at 3 seconds and 10 frames. Then, click on the “+Add” button to add another keyframe.

Step 16

Move the Playhead to the end of the snapshot clip and set the value of the X axis to 391. Then, reduce the opacity to 0%. Move the Playhead at the start of the snapshot clip and reduce the opacity to 0% there as well.

Step 17

Next, Export the clip to your PC. Just hit the Export button near the top-center of the screen. Then, select all of your clips in the Timeline and move them one track above. Then, drag the second snapshot you took earlier to Track 1.

Step 18

Select the Black Color clip once again and move the position of the Black box like this.

Step 19

Now, hide the clip on Track 2 by pressing this button next to it.

Step 20

Click on the second snapshot clip located in Track 1. Then, repeat the process of adding keyframes just like we did with the first snapshot. Review the previous steps to get this right. This time, remember to slide the X axis to the LEFT instead of RIGHT. Just drag the values to the left.

Step 21

Export this. Then, delete all the clips in the Timeline. Now, import both clips you exported earlier during these steps. Also, import a background video that you’d like to appear behind your slide masking text effect.

Step 22

Next, drag the clips to Timeline and adjust each of them to be the same length. Four seconds is a good option.

Step 23

Double-click on the first clip (not the background clip). Go to Video and under Blending Mode select Lighten.

Step 24

Drop your second clip to Track three and repeat the same edits for it.

Step 25

Set the Playhead on frame three and drop the Motion Shape element from the Elements tab on Track 4.

Step 26

Finally, copy and paste the element near the end of the video and Render the project. Then, review your masterpiece. That’s it!

Are You Aware that You Can Create Your Own Lower Thirds for Video? Read This Article for a Tutorial on How to Customize One

As a video creator, there are times when you need to use Lower Thirds. Although many lower-third presets are available, making unique and personalized ones can ensure your video stands out.

So, to empower your inner video creator, this article will show you how to make your own Lower Thirds in Filmora.

Part 1: What is Lower Third

A Lower Third is a mix of motion graphic design and texts that are placed in the lower area of the screen. It provides additional information, such as a person’s name or other relevant information, without distracting the audience from the main content.

Lower Thirds can be used in various settings, such as news broadcasts or interviews, to help provide viewers with additional context.

Part 2: How to Make Your Own Lower Thirds in Filmora

Free Download For Win 7 or later(64-bit)

Free Download For macOS 10.14 or later

(1) A simple line and texts

Step1 Create a simple line

Go to the Media library > Sample Media folder > choose a color sample. For this tutorial, we will select the white color. Then, drag and drop this sample color onto the upper video track.

Double-click the white sample clip to open the settings and scale it to 30%. Then, reposition the white bar to your desired place.

Step2 Mask the white sample

Since we want to create a thin horizontal shape, you need to make some adjustments to the white sample by using an image mask. So, go to the Effect window > Utility > Image Mask. Then, drag and drop the “Image Mask” onto the white color sample.

After that, double-click the white sample on the timeline and find the Image Mask setting. Choose the shape that works best for your needs. For this tutorial, we are going to use this one. Then, adjust the X and Y-axis scale numbers until it becomes a thin white line. Click OK.

Step3 Add a text for your lower thirds

Go to Titles > Plain Text > Basic 6 and drop it onto the second video track above the white line clip. Don’t worry about the exact position yet. We can adjust it later.

Double-click on the text clip to open the settings, then type some text there and adjust the size and font.

Step4 Add animation to the text

Click Advanced > Animation > Up Down 1 animation. Adjust the animation length by dragging the two brackets on the timeline on the right side. Click Ok.

Step5 Add keyframes to the white line clip when entering

Double-click on the white line clip on the timeline to show the animation keyframe setting window. Then, playback the animation of the text, find a position before the text animation starts and move the play head there. Make sure it is close enough to when the texts show up so the white line enters the keyframe right before the text enters.

Click to add a keyframe, double-check to make sure it is the final position you want, and the opacity should be 100 at this point.

After that, move the play head to the left for a few frames and click add again. To make sure the white line is out of the frame before entering, you need to change the Y-axis number. Change the opacity to 0 as the white line starts in transparent color.

These two keyframes will create an effect of the line entering the frame while turning from transparent to white. Playback the animation and adjust the keyframes marks by dragging them to the left or right until you feel the timing looks good.

Step6 Add keyframes to the white line clip when exiting

Playback again to find where the texts disappear, then move the play head to a position after it. Also, make sure it’s close enough to where the texts disappear so you can ensure the white line exits right after the texts disappear. Then, add the keyframe.

You don’t need to change the setting this time because this keyframe is used to keep the position and opacity unchanged.

Instead, move the play head again to the right for a few frames and add another keyframe. Move the texts out of the frame by changing the y-axis number, then change the opacity to 0. This keyframe is used to create the white line animation exiting the frame and turning back to transparent in the meantime.

Playback the video and see how it looks.

(2) A name card with a solid background

Sometimes you might want to create a name card with a solid background like the sample above. To create it, we can use the same method. Here’s how to do it:

Step1 Make the lower third background

Select the white color sample from the sample color folder and drop it onto the upper video track of the video.

Change the scale to 30%, then reposition the white sample to your desired place. Click OK.

Step2 Create an image mask for the lower third background

Drag and drop the Image Mask onto the white sample clip on the timeline.

Double-click on the white sample clip to activate the video setting window and find the Image Mask settings. Then, choose the mask shape you need. You can also adjust its size by changing the X or Y-axis.

Step3 Add some text

Once the background card is in place, go to Titles > Plain Text > ‘Basic 6’ and drop it onto the third video track.

Now, type in the texts as needed. Reposition and scale the texts to make sure they are on top of the background shape.

Step4 Add animation to the text

Click Advanced > Animation > Push. Then, adjust the animation length accordingly. Click Ok.

Double-click on the background clip to show the animation tab setting. Then, playback the text animation and find a position earlier than the start and add a keyframe.

Similar to the tutorial before, move the play head again a few frames earlier to the left and add another keyframe. If you want to have the name card flying in from the left while expanding, you can change the X-axis and scale of the background card to 0. Change the opacity to 0 to create a color change from transparent to white.

To let the background card exit the frame, add two more keyframes to the background card. Add a keyframe with no changes to settings. Move the play head to the right for a few frames and add another keyframe.

If you want the name card to exit to the bottom, change the Y-axis number until it exits. Change the scale and opacity to 0. Then, playback and adjust the keyframes.

Finally, you can add a Subscribe button from the new default Filmora element pack “Social Media.”

Wrapping up

These are two ways you can create your own Lower Thirds in FIlmora. You can also change the keyframe settings to customize your lower thirds even more. Now, it’s time to try it yourself, and let us know what you think!
