Using Own Lower Thirds

Is it possible to add my own lower thirds so they will be picked up by the Lower Thirds Tool?

Thx,

Not in the current version but this has been requested many times so we know you would like this capability. ;-)

Hmm...curious. Because I just watched the training video Spot did and he does say in it that you can use third party lower thirds or add your own. Disappointing.

Thx,

Marks, you can modify the lower thirds though. I recently substituted a client's logo for one of the stock lower third buttons and it looked quite slick. If it isn't clear how to do this post so and I will describe the process.

Hi Jerry,

I realise that I could modify and existing one so that it would appear in the drop down list, and leave the stock ones intact.

But thanks.

It is a feature that we had wanted to add and quite often training videos are done with early betas of code so that they can be ready at the same time as the final code. So Spot was explaining how we wanted it to work (which is why he didn't show you how). Unfortunately, that feature did not make it in for the first release but as I said, it's on our list.
