We are going to add a gradient to the rectangle shape to make it look more like the CNN lower third. Then, you turn the layer visibility back on, after which you would see a grey bar in front of your video. Then use the rectangle tool in the top tool bar to draw a rectangle for the base shape of your lower third. Turn off the visibility on your grey solid so you can see your background footage. It will fill your entire composition by default. (OPTIONAL) Import your edited cut or B-roll that you want to add the lower third onto.Ĭreate a new solid layer and set the color to grey. This tutorial will show you how to create a CNN-style lower third like this:Ĭreate a composition and set it to your desired video output resolution.
