Clean Lower Thirds in After Effects - Complete After Effects Tutorial

Professional Titling can separate an amateur from a professional, that it is extremely important that you understand the how titling can affect your videos. If you look at any interview, commercial, or even documentary, you will notice that text appears at the bottom of the screen labeling the person speaking and showing the viewer some details about the person or subject. It is not only about the text, but it is also about how the text appears.
Let me introduce you to the world of “Lower Thirds.” Why are they called “Lower Thirds.” It is actually a very literal meaning. If you have gone to film school or read any basic film studies books, you will know the term “Rule of Thirds.” Basically, our framing of shots is split up in 3 different sections call the thirds. The reason why it is called the “Rule of Thirds” is because this is a simple rule or even a guideline that helps filmmakers frame their shots in order to make it look more cinematic or film like. “Lower Thirds” is placed on the lower third of the shot hence its name.

Super tutorial Nikhil. I am trying to repeat some of your projects step by step and they are cool. Keep posting tutorials. I am learning a lot new stuff. Thanks.

[@RookieRoost]

This is one of my favourite tuts for Ae so far! Thank you!

[@FinLineFly]

OK this is possibly one of THE best tutorials I have watched. I have learned so much from this video. I like the way the instructions start slowly and then ramp up. Not only teaching you specifics but encouraging the student to learn quickly. Some tutorials I follow on KZbin miss out the simple steps - I like the way Dope Motions explains the short cuts and key strokes to make the development and editing quickly and efficient. Keep going. If I could have subscribed twice I would have - it is just that good! Watch out for one of my youtube videos using these thirds very soon (In production already!)

[@khangphan772]

Perfect video. i do it, thank you very much from Vietnam.

[@The-Logician]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial. I am using this in a current production along with a client's animated logo for lower thirds text highlights.

How can I get the move anchorpoint window? Do I need to buy it and install it?

[@yfarmanraza7953]

Awesome

[@DizzyNLD]

Nice guide, but I'm experiencing some difficulties at 16:36 . When you explain stuff and use the shortcuts I love it because I will learn them quickly this way. But when a shortcut doesn't work for someone following this tutorial you lose people quite quickly. For instance: the 'hold ALT and close bracket' doesn't work for me. You don't explain what you are doing clearly so the guide fails right there. You could mention the feature you are using or even show how to go there in the menu. Shift-Control_C also doesn't work for me to precompose. At that point I have to go outside of your video to google that stuff and find out where it is. This is just some feedback, the graphic is amazing so thanks for this.

I am a bit puzzled.. How to use a lower third like this one.. again and again below each slide changing text each time. Or say I have a good lower third template... want to use it under 20 slides with different text... How should I do it? Thanks in advance.

[@adeshmishra6473]

Fantastic 😍😍

[@ingeniusgaming2242]

_Cool!_

[@JKOREAGUNBA]

muy bueno gracias man

[@WhiteTsunami]

Really great tutorial! I have a question, I really hope you can answer me: there's a way to render it making the black background trasparent as a png? Cause I'd normally use it making a black chroma key but I think exists definetly a better way and I think it's an easy option in the rendering, but I'm not familiar with AE. Thank you and best regards from Italy!

I kept following this step by step, click by click, and my gradient ramp never works

[@DuolosX]

This may be great if you're already an AE expert. For a beginner, this is absolutely impossible to follow; no clue what you're doing or why.

[@limitlessfilmz148]
