hey Man this video is 3 years ago but this is Awesome! easy to understand and easy to follow I made this even I GOT ZERO EXPERIENCE with After effects ( got some idea from premier pro though) But totally great video! THANKS!!!
Great tutorial! Real quick though, if you pre-compose your text you can animate it a lot easier and both titles with react to one set of keyframes. Also it makes it easier to alter the text for future projects while still keeping the same animation you've already made. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you very much for the tutorial. good and easy. The three methods of reversing the lower third interesting. I hope another tutorial for this style. Greetings from Spain
Hey man! I've been looking everywhere for a decent tutorial that explains alpha mattes and basic text animation, no more rocketstock templates for me! You're a life saver.
Cool tip: Under the line layer, go to the top under line settingds select add > offset paths. This creates a slot in the line on the left that the text appears to slide out of.
This was a really helpful tutorial. Not for the design or end product, but the explanation of tools and practices. People need this kind of tutoring with online videos/tutorials. I appreciate your efforts!!! p.s. Thumbs up & subscribed ;)
This helped a TON! Thanks a lot Man. I'm still fairly new to AE but your teaching help immensely. I was able to use this for a freelance project I'm working on
Great tutorial, very easy to follow. The only note that maybe you should add, for those that are Ae Beginners like me, is to add a note for how to change the graph type. It took me some time to figure out how to change it. Thanks
Love this and loved your tutorial!! Made is so easy! Thank you! I know this video is 5 years old but could you possibly explain right quick how I can save this animation so that I can use it for future projects??
This was really cool but I'm having a problem with my graph... Yours looks like an oval but only half of mine shows up? I hit F9 and followed all the steps so I'm not sure what went wrong...
I did a "time reverse" and sequenced the layers for a call out title but it keeps at the end and at the begining some "crums" from the initial animation, how can I fix it ?
+Nextgenhd thanks! definitely meant for more advanced after effects users. you can check out some of my other basic after effects tutorials or classes to get up to speed.
Man, I've been using After Effects for over 3 years and have always been banging my head against the keyboard trying to get the graphs to help me animate but it never seemed to look like the tutorials or work like people show in tutorials. I read this comment 3 years too late!
Is it possible to somehow make the position of the red block adapt to the length of the text? I would like to make a template out of this, without having to manually change the text/block's position all the time...
Can you do a tutorial of the same thing except changing the Line and the Block to use Sabre plugin from Video Copilot. So we have a glowing line that pulls out the words rather than the red block?
Hi Phil, thanks so much for the tutorial, however, I'm pulling my hair out here. I can't get it to export with a transparent background! I've made sure I've toggled the transparency on, exported with an alpha channel, I cannot get this to export without a black background... Tried exporting as a quicktime movie, PNG sequence and re-imporing, animation and pro res 4444, nothing is working.
@The Audio Journey, if you are working in Premiere and have Proxy files activated the background will show until you turn it off, this only applies if you using Proxies though. It could be something else though, good luck.
I have a question i hope you answer on it when you record the tutorial and use shortcuts dose they appear automatically on video or you put in in when editing the video and how i put it in if i want i hope you understand my question :)
How do you move the entire animation on the staging area? I want to keep everything in the timeline the same but add a logo to the left of the red line and there isn't enough space to do so. When I select all the layers and move the selections it doesn't seem to carry the position of the animation with it as well. Awesome tutorial btw!
great tutorial! I've done it the first time and it was perfect. Now when I try to use some elements of it for something else, it just doesn't work. Basically, when I create the line the anchor point would automatically be in the centre of the layer instead of being in the centre of the line. I used pan behind tool...I tried to center it but it just wouldn't let me. Looked for solutions online but I still can't find an answer to it. What do you think it could be? Thank youuuu
Cum salvez textul animat pe care il fac dupa modelul din tutorialul acesta ? Am nevoie sa il folosesc si pe viitor la alte videoclipuri acest lower third si vreau sa il am salvat in format editabil.
So if i want to create one and then be able to quickly use it in every video as an intro? how do i do this? i was thinking of a green background but i don't know if it's a good idea... Please answer asap
How do you take the black ground out. When I rendered it it was still in there I need it to be like a png or transparent so I can overlay it on my video in abode premiere thanks .
when you add it to render queue, click where it says "lossless" and change it to "lossless with alpha" and then when you import it into premiere or elsewhere it won't have a background. Hope this helps.
but the video size is too much big and i m living in area where internet is not much too good so its very difficult to upload a 500 mb or plus size file on youtube
hey Man this video is 3 years ago but this is Awesome! easy to understand and easy to follow
I made this even I GOT ZERO EXPERIENCE with After effects
( got some idea from premier pro though)
But totally great video! THANKS!!!
Thanks for pushing through and recording this a third time for us. ;)
+Caleb Wojcik haha... you probably know my pain!
Thanks Phil Ebiner. I can learn lower thirds from all of this.
Great tutorial! Real quick though, if you pre-compose your text you can animate it a lot easier and both titles with react to one set of keyframes. Also it makes it easier to alter the text for future projects while still keeping the same animation you've already made. Keep up the good work man!
Explanation is very clear and to the point. 👌👌. Even newbie can follow your instructions clearly.
I've really been enjoying these tutorials where you recreate templates from videohive. Keep 'em coming!
+Rtista724 :) glad to hear it! If you have any other specific graphics from videohive that you'd like me to re-create, let me know!
Thank you very much for the tutorial. good and easy. The three methods of reversing the lower third interesting.
I hope another tutorial for this style.

Hey man! I've been looking everywhere for a decent tutorial that explains alpha mattes and basic text animation, no more rocketstock templates for me! You're a life saver.
Awesome! glad i could help!
Great tutorial man! One thing - I personally found it easier to make a square shape and Transform->Skew it instead of messing around with the paths.
So simple (looking) and very handsome, classy lower third ideas. Thank you!
Loved this one too. Thank you man. I'm starting a weekly quick on camera show for indie game news and this is just what I needed.
Cool tip:
Under the line layer, go to the top under line settingds select add > offset paths.

+lukesuperflyjones glad to help!
Absolutely beautiful - learning it now!
Good video. Was a little fast for me, but I'm still a newb. It was nice to see the keystrokes. Thanks for this!
This was the perfect lower thirds for my most recent project! Thanks!
Glad to help!
Really apreciate your job! Cheers from Argentina!
Great tutorial! I love that you showed how to do the reverse keyframes, I was actually trying to troubleshoot this a few days ago -- super helpful!
Great tutorial, very easy to follow. The only note that maybe you should add, for those that are Ae Beginners like me, is to add a note for how to change the graph type. It took me some time to figure out how to change it. Thanks

Wow! Great tutorial.! Thank you so very much!
Amazing! Great job.
Great tutorial man!
Thanks for sharing :D
+Tyler Casselman you're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
This was really cool but I'm having a problem with my graph... Yours looks like an oval but only half of mine shows up? I hit F9 and followed all the steps so I'm not sure what went wrong...
+BamIt'sCam Yours has values from -100 to 100 and mine is from 0 to 100
+BamIt'sCam make sure you're viewing the speed graph and not the value graph. there's a button on the bottom of the graph that allows you to change.
+Video School Online Thank you!!!

Here's a tutorial on how to export with transparent background: ruclips.net/video/4oBkmnov1Rw/видео.html
This was a great video but a little to fast for beginners to follow

+Hazem Obid thanks!
thnks bro
how come my graph editor only shows half the graph? doesn't show full graph
try "speed graph" instead of "value graph"
OMG thank you!
Man, I've been using After Effects for over 3 years and have always been banging my head against the keyboard trying to get the graphs to help me animate but it never seemed to look like the tutorials or work like people show in tutorials. I read this comment 3 years too late!
Great show !
Is it possible to somehow make the position of the red block adapt to the length of the text? I would like to make a template out of this, without having to manually change the text/block's position all the time...
thankyou for the video, you save my day :D
you're welcome!
Very cool. would it be difficult to change the names after you finish the animation? Like If i wanted to use this animation for 4 different people?
No just go back into the pre comp and change it around
Thank you Caleb.. for your great video, how to combine this lower third with other project / AE template. thanks in advance..
Can you do a tutorial of the same thing except changing the Line and the Block to use Sabre plugin from Video Copilot.
So we have a glowing line that pulls out the words rather than the red block?
Thank youuuuu.. i made it even not to perfect
Thank you soo very much!
you're welcome!
Thanks Man !! You r amazing 😉
No - you're amazing!
Thanks for your response!
Well I've a question When I rendered it with RGB+alpha the exported file was 6.2 GB
So How do I render it with low size
eres un maestro, gracias
+alejandro alvarado gracias!
Hi Phil, thanks so much for the tutorial, however, I'm pulling my hair out here. I can't get it to export with a transparent background!

Tried exporting as a quicktime movie, PNG sequence and re-imporing, animation and pro res 4444, nothing is working.
Where are you importing it? Premiere Pro or something else? I know Sony Vegas users have had issues with this method.
@The Audio Journey, if you are working in Premiere and have Proxy files activated the background will show until you turn it off, this only applies if you using Proxies though. It could be something else though, good luck.
in comp settings, go to advanced and tick the one about exporting to premiere pro. prbably in cc (doesnt show in my cs6 but it should be there)
I have a question i hope you answer on it when you record the tutorial and use shortcuts dose they appear automatically on video or you put in in when editing the video and how i put it in if i want i hope you understand my question :)
I don't use AE CC that often, but my graph looks nothing like yours, it only shows half of the graph, can you help me out?
tnx again phil
from where did you learn after effects man you are so clever !!!????
just practice. self-taught myself :)
Thank you ,sir!
+FM Motivation you're welcome!
Is there a way to add a PNG logo to the animation as it is closing? In other words, a school logo would be in the center of the red parallelogram
How do you move the entire animation on the staging area? I want to keep everything in the timeline the same but add a logo to the left of the red line and there isn't enough space to do so. When I select all the layers and move the selections it doesn't seem to carry the position of the animation with it as well. Awesome tutorial btw!
precomp evrythng and move
I approve! Thanks!
thank you!

Cum salvez textul animat pe care il fac dupa modelul din tutorialul acesta ?
Am nevoie sa il folosesc si pe viitor la alte videoclipuri acest lower third si vreau sa il am salvat in format editabil.
Great video . How you put the keyboard on the screen?
Using a program called ScreenFlow to do screencapture and editing. Camtasia also is a great program that does this.
Thank you my friend too great :)
+Ahmet Arikan cheers!
So if i want to create one and then be able to quickly use it in every video as an intro? how do i do this? i was thinking of a green background but i don't know if it's a good idea... Please answer asap
+iHacker007 export with transparent background... I've got a tutorial on how to do it.
Very helpful tutorial, how do I use a logo instead of the shape block?
+Tobi Oluwakayode do the same exact thing, just replace the shape layer with your logo.
Thanks, very helpful.
What's the software you use to record the type ?
Thank you!
How would I make this a template so I can use it in my own videos?
i cant find the add button (1:25) in AE cs6
Click the expand /collapse button present at the bottom left corner
GOD BLESS YOU!
+javid5246 :)
How do you take the black ground out. When I rendered it it was still in there I need it to be like a png or transparent so I can overlay it on my video in abode premiere thanks .

Thx!
+Sander Brebels you're welcome!
whats the difference between matt and mask
How do you make it transparent ? so it can overlay the image
when you add it to render queue, click where it says "lossless" and change it to "lossless with alpha" and then when you import it into premiere or elsewhere it won't have a background. Hope this helps.
it did! thank you for responding back to me
Mine got blur right after playing the last part, reverse and time ;-(
how can we position the lower third after making it?
In premiere pro, you can go to the effects control tab and change the size/position.
when i used " ] " to short the composition, the animation is gone.. =( plz help
try Alt + ]
i use windows os , i can't see trkmat function. where is it ?
thank you
is it there when you click the change views/option at the bottom of the timeline?
Video School Online thank you
it is necessory u must have knowledge about adobe priemer for render adobe after effects videos ??
Nope - you don't need to because you can render right within AE.
but the video size is too much big and i m living in area where internet is not much too good so its very difficult to upload a 500 mb or plus size file on youtube
I can't follow the bottons you are pushing. Some of the letters don't mean anything
my reverse layer is on the opposite side why is that ?
i am having a lot of trouble with the shape layer
