Here is an Easy Method from our PN Student, Samara Grossel…

Lower Thirds:

Adding lower thirds is an easy process. The first step to add our banner to your sequence. The second step is to add text while layering it with your banner. Make sure to adjust the size and placement of your banner and text layers.

Adding titles:

  1. Select where you’d like to add a title on your Timeline and hit Command + T.
  2. Add your title and adjust the color, type and alignment.
  3. Add the title to your Timeline on V3.
