Read the transcript below!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"whats-a-lower-third\">What\u2019s a Lower Third?<\/h2>\n<p>A lower third is a graphic that sits in the lower third of the video frame, hence the name. This graphic is utilized to introduce a subject to the audience with their name and title. It also serves to orient your viewer with who the subject on screen is and how they specifically relate to the story.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll notice these graphics in documentaries, corporate videos, and other &#8220;real life&#8221; video content. Ultimately, lower thirds eliminate the need to have the subject verbally state their name and title, which can feel very on-the-nose and out of place.<\/p>\n<p>While there are many lower-third templates available, learning to create your own custom lower thirds can ensure the information you want to convey to your audience is as effective as possible. Additionally, creating your own lower thirds helps you maintain a consistent aesthetic across your entire project.<\/p>\n<p>Lower thirds should simply convey information and not distract from the main story, so fight the urge to include gratuitous animations or fluorescent color palettes. Keep it simple.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"building-a-lower-third\">Building a Lower Third<\/h2>\n<p>FCPX includes a ton of built-in lower thirds that you can just drag and drop into your project. Nonetheless, it&#8217;s easy to create your own custom lower thirds with just a few steps.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-1\">Step 1<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_137080\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Titles-Sidebar-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-137080\" class=\"wp-image-137080 size-full\" title=\"FCPX: Titles Sidebar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Titles-Sidebar-1.jpg\" alt=\"FCPX: Titles Sidebar\" width=\"755\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Titles-Sidebar-1.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Titles-Sidebar-1.jpg?resize=300,172 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Titles-Sidebar-1.jpg?resize=277,158 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Titles-Sidebar-1.jpg?resize=359,205 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Titles-Sidebar-1.jpg?resize=543,311 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Titles-Sidebar-1.jpg?resize=560,320 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Titles-Sidebar-1.jpg?resize=150,86 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-137080\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Make sure you complete this process twice &#8211; once for the name and again for the title.
