WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.340 --> 00:00:01.639 In this video, we're going to just walk 2 00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:05.806 through designing a clean lower third title just like this. 3 00:00:06.702 --> 00:00:09.296 I'm a very big fan of minimalistic titles 4 00:00:09.296 --> 00:00:13.326 so using clean Sans Serif fonts that aren't fancy 5 00:00:13.326 --> 00:00:15.798 that don't have the fancy edges 6 00:00:15.798 --> 00:00:18.903 and bolds, lots of capitalization, 7 00:00:18.903 --> 00:00:21.576 but also differentiating the title, 8 00:00:21.576 --> 00:00:24.687 the name plus the descriptor down below. 9 00:00:24.687 --> 00:00:27.037 This is what a typical lower third title, 10 00:00:27.037 --> 00:00:29.184 even though it's not in the lower thirds, 11 00:00:29.184 --> 00:00:33.106 which is the actual typical way to do it 12 00:00:33.106 --> 00:00:35.881 is to put it in the lower third of the video. 13 00:00:35.881 --> 00:00:38.662 So if you split your frame up into threes, 14 00:00:38.662 --> 00:00:40.172 you have your top third, middle third 15 00:00:40.172 --> 00:00:41.753 and lower third, you would add 16 00:00:41.753 --> 00:00:43.972 that title to the bottom third. 17 00:00:43.972 --> 00:00:45.900 But for me I break those rules 18 00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:49.083 and I put my titles in different places. 19 00:00:49.083 --> 00:00:50.555 But this is what we're going to be re-creating. 20 00:00:50.555 --> 00:00:53.816 So let's go back to our other project. 21 00:00:53.816 --> 00:00:56.489 That was the finalised project. 22 00:00:56.489 --> 00:00:59.605 line:15% And let's go ahead and create that lower third for Anthony. 23 00:00:59.605 --> 00:01:02.332 line:15% So I'm just going to select my titles bin 24 00:01:02.332 --> 00:01:04.436 line:15% and say new item title. 25 00:01:04.436 --> 00:01:06.519 Gonna call it lower third Anthony. 26 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.608 I just used the text LT. 27 00:01:08.608 --> 00:01:09.441 Say OK. 28 00:01:10.671 --> 00:01:13.379 Make sure you're on the right spot of the film. 29 00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:15.101 line:15% You can actually scroll through here 30 00:01:15.101 --> 00:01:17.175 line:15% and when you scroll you scroll through here, 31 00:01:17.175 --> 00:01:19.858 you get the video in your title editor 32 00:01:19.858 --> 00:01:22.233 which is good to know so that if you want 33 00:01:22.233 --> 00:01:24.950 to edit a title so it matches a different 34 00:01:24.950 --> 00:01:27.217 part of your video you have to be on 35 00:01:27.217 --> 00:01:29.818 line:15% that part of your video in your time line. 36 00:01:29.818 --> 00:01:31.846 line:15% But we're just gonna go to the start 37 00:01:31.846 --> 00:01:34.107 where he's sitting down in his chair. 38 00:01:34.107 --> 00:01:36.843 Let's take our text tool, type in 39 00:01:36.843 --> 00:01:39.047 Anthony Carbajal. 40 00:01:39.047 --> 00:01:41.192 You'll notice that I did not capitalise 41 00:01:41.192 --> 00:01:43.738 it yet and that's okay. 42 00:01:43.738 --> 00:01:46.306 I'm just going to use the font Helvetica. 43 00:01:46.306 --> 00:01:49.427 Helvetica is a clean old school font 44 00:01:49.427 --> 00:01:53.073 but it's nice and it's a Sans Serif font 45 00:01:53.073 --> 00:01:55.683 and it looks really good on video. 46 00:01:55.683 --> 00:01:57.803 Gonna make it a little bit smaller. 47 00:01:57.803 --> 00:01:59.671 And then to make everything capitalised, 48 00:01:59.671 --> 00:02:02.841 what I can do is just click this small caps button 49 00:02:02.841 --> 00:02:05.382 and then actually increase the small caps size 50 00:02:05.382 --> 00:02:08.563 to a hundred, or if everything's lower case 51 00:02:08.563 --> 00:02:11.847 already, you can leave it at whatever percentage. 52 00:02:11.847 --> 00:02:15.847 Then I'm going to change the colour from white to black. 53 00:02:15.847 --> 00:02:18.794 Then I'm going to change the style from light, 54 00:02:18.794 --> 00:02:22.136 up there or over here, to bold. 55 00:02:22.136 --> 00:02:23.466 And make it a bit smaller just 56 00:02:23.466 --> 00:02:26.198 using the corner and dragging in. 57 00:02:26.198 --> 00:02:27.984 I'm also holding shift down so that 58 00:02:27.984 --> 00:02:30.651 the aspect doesn't get squished. 59 00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:34.433 And put it right over there. 60 00:02:35.462 --> 00:02:38.802 I could click the text type tool up here 61 00:02:38.802 --> 00:02:41.966 and then click here to create another text layer. 62 00:02:41.966 --> 00:02:44.279 Instead I'm just going to duplicate 63 00:02:44.279 --> 00:02:46.200 the Anthony Carbajal text right here 64 00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:49.222 by selecting it and copying it, command C 65 00:02:49.222 --> 00:02:51.507 and then pasting it, command V 66 00:02:51.507 --> 00:02:54.469 and then dragging it down. 67 00:02:54.469 --> 00:02:55.983 It's okay if it's not aligned because 68 00:02:55.983 --> 00:02:57.808 we're going to use the align tools 69 00:02:57.808 --> 00:03:00.537 to align them in just a second. 70 00:03:00.537 --> 00:03:02.023 Then I'm just going to double click 71 00:03:02.023 --> 00:03:05.984 inside, press command A to select all the text. 72 00:03:05.984 --> 00:03:08.671 Delete it and then give the descriptor. 73 00:03:08.671 --> 00:03:12.224 So the bottom part of your lower third is there 74 00:03:12.224 --> 00:03:15.588 to give more description of who this person is. 75 00:03:15.588 --> 00:03:17.788 Typically you have the name on top, 76 00:03:17.788 --> 00:03:19.051 and then on the bottom you just have 77 00:03:19.051 --> 00:03:21.813 a little more of a description of who they are, 78 00:03:21.813 --> 00:03:25.815 especially in terms of what this video's about. 79 00:03:25.815 --> 00:03:27.252 So for us, we're going to just 80 00:03:27.252 --> 00:03:28.669 call it diagnosed 81 00:03:30.685 --> 00:03:32.102 with ALS in 2014. 82 00:03:36.631 --> 00:03:38.333 I could just put this underneath 83 00:03:38.333 --> 00:03:40.475 right here but I like to differentiate 84 00:03:40.475 --> 00:03:43.558 the size and the style of my top text 85 00:03:44.539 --> 00:03:47.360 from my bottom text so I'm going to change 86 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:48.777 this from bold to 87 00:03:50.473 --> 00:03:52.227 regular and then 88 00:03:52.227 --> 00:03:56.123 the size, we're gonna go down a lot smaller. 89 00:03:56.123 --> 00:03:57.623 Something like so. 90 00:03:58.893 --> 00:04:00.794 And I tried to align it by eyeball 91 00:04:00.794 --> 00:04:02.270 but that didn't work so I'm going 92 00:04:02.270 --> 00:04:03.683 to select both. 93 00:04:03.683 --> 00:04:05.611 I could just drag over and select or 94 00:04:05.611 --> 00:04:08.975 just click one and then shift click the other one. 95 00:04:08.975 --> 00:04:11.377 Then with my align tools I'm going to align 96 00:04:11.377 --> 00:04:15.460 to the right so the right edges line up, like so. 97 00:04:16.509 --> 00:04:17.932 So that looks pretty cool. 98 00:04:17.932 --> 00:04:21.245 I could go in here and do something else if I wanted. 99 00:04:21.245 --> 00:04:23.446 I can actually create a shape. 100 00:04:23.446 --> 00:04:26.113 Let's just create a white shape. 101 00:04:27.930 --> 00:04:30.356 Change the colour to white. 102 00:04:30.356 --> 00:04:33.807 Then I'm going to actually arrange it. 103 00:04:33.807 --> 00:04:36.974 line:15% So right click, arrange, send to back. 104 00:04:37.979 --> 00:04:41.480 Then I'm going to select the diagnosed text 105 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.997 with that shape layer and vertical centre 106 00:04:44.997 --> 00:04:47.008 and horizontal centre. 107 00:04:47.008 --> 00:04:48.860 And then, maybe for this one, I would 108 00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:50.732 just select all of them actually 109 00:04:50.732 --> 00:04:52.540 and do vertical centre so they're 110 00:04:52.540 --> 00:04:55.623 all aligned vertically in the centre. 111 00:04:57.056 --> 00:05:00.362 That's another cool way to do a clean lower third. 112 00:05:00.362 --> 00:05:02.689 You don't have to have a background for everything but 113 00:05:02.689 --> 00:05:06.613 the white does make this bottom text pop out even more. 114 00:05:06.613 --> 00:05:09.206 I like that so I'm gonna leave it like that. 115 00:05:09.206 --> 00:05:11.879 line:15% Exit out of here, take my lower third 116 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.425 line:15% and put it onto my video track. 117 00:05:14.425 --> 00:05:17.128 line:15% I do tend to try to have my graphics 118 00:05:17.128 --> 00:05:19.326 line:15% all in one layer, so I'm just gonna 119 00:05:19.326 --> 00:05:22.409 line:15% make my layer four my graphics layer. 120 00:05:23.565 --> 00:05:27.348 line:15% Layer two or track two is my interview 121 00:05:27.348 --> 00:05:30.310 line:15% A camera, track one is interview B camera, 122 00:05:30.310 --> 00:05:34.600 line:15% track three is video and photo , 123 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.767 line:15% track four is my graphics. 124 00:05:37.828 --> 00:05:39.658 line:15% So I'm gonna extend it there. 125 00:05:39.658 --> 00:05:42.868 line:15% Here's one title, there's the next title. 126 00:05:42.868 --> 00:05:44.045 Thanks for watching. 127 00:05:44.045 --> 00:05:45.713 That's how you create a clean lower third. 128 00:05:45.713 --> 00:05:48.937 Go ahead and do that on your own for your own video. 129 00:05:48.937 --> 00:05:50.110 And try to get creative. 130 00:05:50.110 --> 00:05:52.872 Come up with something a little bit different than this 131 00:05:52.872 --> 00:05:54.378 because at the end of this project 132 00:05:54.378 --> 00:05:55.981 you're going to be posting it on 133 00:05:55.981 --> 00:05:58.343 the course page for me to check out. 134 00:05:58.343 --> 00:06:00.089 I can't wait to see what all the 135 00:06:00.089 --> 00:06:02.394 students like you are coming up with. 136 00:06:02.394 --> 00:06:04.387 Thanks and we'll see you in the next video.
