Name plate (Person's title) help needed

Julius_ wrote on 5/7/2007, 12:02 PM

Hi,

In my first business project (I mostly do weddings), I will be interviewing a few people and I would like to have a professional title at the bottom of the screen indicating the person's name and his title at the company (like what you see on news broadcasts). I have played around with the Media generator but it doesn't look too good. I was wondering if anyone had a VEG file out there that does it.

thanks.

you'll find lots of lower thirds on the VASST website, you can purchase packs of lower thirds for UltimateS, Digital Juice has lower third packages as well, plus they're quite easy to make with generated media and masking tools.

A few tricks I have done.

Shoot video from a moving car out the side window (have a passenger do it obviously)

Then slow this video down, blur, stretch and colorize. Then use the cropping to make it a lower third video background.

You can also capture moving video from your project and do the same thing.

Make certain that you keep all the titles within "title safety" and not out to the edge of the frame (assuming your output is to video).
