Very nice job !

Hi, I have bought your template, but i’m looking for a way to export it and use in in fcp x….and a way to change the titles in fcp x as well?

You can render lower thirds with alpha channel in After Effects and then import it to FCP X.
1. Open bar you want to export.

Is it possible to use these as an editable template in Premiere with editable text?

I don’t think so. But it’s still possible to render it multiple times and export to Premiere.

Suppose I buy ” lower thirds ” with regular license. This means that I can only use in a single video to my blog? If I use for a second video , I will have to pay the license again ? And if I buy the extended license , you can use in all the videos from my blog? Sorry, do not speak English , so Usso google translator and not well understand the license terms .

Select any bar and click at “Reveal Layer Source in Project”:

Hi. I see that the slider allows an easy way to reduce the size of the lower thirds. As the default is set at 100%, how do I make the lower thirds bigger?

I find it odd that if I want to use the same bar several times in my composition i cannot just duplicate it since they are dependent of other files. Why are the comps not self contained? How can I duplicate a comp so that I can use the bar more than once?

1. Open bar you want to duplicate.

2. Open Composition menu and choose Pre-render.

4. Drag and drop rendered video to the After Effects.

Can I get this in Mac CS5.5 format? I’ve already bought it and I thought a while back it was CS5 compatible back then…

Please email me and i’ll send you CS5.5 file.

I apologize but the instructions that you have connected is not enough. I do not understand how to proceed. No video tutorial exist? No good, It is complicated, also when drag effects in the work appear doubles and there is no way to edit the text. It is not a detailed tutorial.

What effects do you drag in the work? You can’t edit text after that or at all?
Please explain exactly what is the main problem and i’ll help you as soon as possible.

Great Lower Thirds but for some reason I just cant get the colours to change. I can change the opacity but band can see the colour I want to change but nothing seems to enable the change. Ive tried the eyedropper, selecting an RGB or hex value but the colour remains the same. Is there a lock or something similar I need to alter?

Cheers Andy

Problem appears only with specific lower third or with everyone?

Are you trying to change color in this window or somewhere else?

Yeah I have the same fail with this “EXPRESION” in all my projects pls help

Please make sure you have English version of After Effects.

Great work !

Hi there! Well, when I find a lower third (“bar” comp) that I like to use and edit in “Preview” comp, I can’t find a quick way to edit it, as all the compositions have the same name “bar”. How can I find it easily?!

WHY all the comps are named the same “bar”?! I can’t understand that! It’s impossible to find the one that I want to edit the text without checking, one by one, every single “bar” folder… very disapointing…

If you right-click at the Bar name, you can rename it.

Or you can just right-click on it in Preview comp and select Reveal Layer Source.

oh nice, I didn’t know about “reveal layer source”. Thanks!

5 expression expression failors in each layer… using AE CC in German. Not amused. Cannot change settings at all

You need English version of After Effects.

there is no chance to change that as I have creative cloud in German. I cannot change the color of the red lines – even if I am in the layers or in text field. There are all languages out there – it should work in multilang – sorry, but I cannot use it now and I bought it. In this case you would have to make a note. I did not understand what “universal expressions” meant before. Now I know
