Now, you can see we have all this content that I was showing you in the previous video.
So what I want to do is I'm going to play the the animated lower thirds again, just to give you an
idea of what I want to do.
OK.
So you can see here that we have like a dark blue and then a lighter blue and then a dark blue.
And right here I put the logo, the name of the show, which was Tech Talk now and then the date, April
1st, 2019.
And then episode one.
And then the topic.
OK.
So with this lower third, we're going to do it a little differently.
I included a learned tech plus logo, which you can't see because it's me.
Right.
Click on this and let's open this with Photoshop 20/20 so I can show you.
OK.
So I gave you the learned tech plus logo with the slogan here.
And what we're gonna do is we're gonna add that logo right here.
And then instead of the date, we'll just put, you know, how to get started with video design or something
like that.
Well, we'll simplify it so it makes sense.
OK, so double click on the lower thirds here.
And you can see I've already placed that, I've already put the graphic in place.
So what we'll do is we'll put it about right there.
And then I want you to control a control see to cut and copy or to select and then copy the logo and
then we're gonna bring the logo down.
So here, control T for me.
And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna shrink the logo.
So.
Drag it down, grab it from the right hand corner, the bottom right hand corner, and bring it over.
And just hold shift.
And that was just the aspect ratio.
So it fills in the way it's supposed to.
OK, so now we have learned tech plus online learning.
Right.
And now what I want to do is I want to add some text.
So what I'm going to do is you click right here and then just click here to switch the color to whites.
That's the foreground.
So my text will be that.
So we're going to do this.
We're going to do
learn video design.
And then we'll bring it over.
Kay.
OK.
And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to make this a little smaller, so we'll do 272 pixels and
then learn video design.
OK.
So I'm going to move this down.
Not that actually the logo itself.
OK.
And then what we're gonna do.
OK, we'll put that there.
It looks good about right there.
OK.
And then we'll hit control shift AWALT s and we'll save this.
As a Panji, because if you say this is a J pag.
It will not be transparent.
So you want to save it as a Panji?
So they have that transparency so that when you bring it into a video editing software or whatever,
you're going to play it, put it on.
If it's a you know, if it's that or something else, then what you do is you have the file ready to
go.
OK.
Now, the other thing you can do, which I've done myself.
In fact, I did it with the animated lower thirds that I showed you just previously, here is I will
crop down.
And actually crop all the way.
Let me let me do that for you.
What I do is I'll crop it down just so that it's the size of the lower third.
And then when I go to the if I'm using.
A broadcast software pocket package.
I can just bring this in and drop it in place.
OK.
And also if you're editing a video, you can just drop this into place.
And it'll work with whatever you're using.
So let's save this lower thirds.
OK.
Looks very good.
Now let's hear.
Control shift S..
And what I'm going to do is I'm gonna save it on my computer.
I'm going to call this lower thirds to OK, I'm going to save that.
I'm a hit.
OK.
And I'm going to minimize the window here.
And I'm going to double click on tech talk now.
OK.
So now what we're gonna do is we're gonna grab this content here and we're gonna bring it into our lower
thirds, too.
OK.
So and I want to keep this the way it is right now.
So what I'm going to do is I'm a turn these layers off.
And then what I wanna do is I want to grab this image first.
So let's have control.
A control.
See, make sure you have layer one selector there.
And then we're gonna bring that in and we gonna paste it then right here.
Has a really cool graphic.
So I'm going to leave that right there.
And then what we're gonna do is I want to see how this looks with the actual law intact.
Plus.
Oh, that's cool.
And then, Lou, I like that a lot.
OK.
I think that looks really cool because what it does is it adds to the lower third.
It really makes a call.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna stretch this over and hold shift and then bring it over.
Okay.
It's going to look even better in a minute.
So if we move the law oh wow.
Now looks cool.
You can see I have a lot of fun with us.
I really like to fiddle with the graphics, I understand.
All right, so if we had control t.
They'll be still my ideas now.
I really like this, I may use this for my learned tech now lower thirds.
So you may see this in the future.
OK.
So what I'm going to do, because this image here is kind of it's really cool looking.
But the problem is the contrast is kind of all over the place.
What we're gonna do is we're going to use the use this navy blue.
I really love navy, blue, teal.
So just in case you didn't know that.
I'm only teasing.
OK, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring the lern tech or the learned video design on top
so that it's more of the highlight.
Look at me.
And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to shrink this.
And bring it to the left.
So that way, the logo.
Action, I don't need to do.
I'm not under that.
Ignore what I just said.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna bring the logo and put it above the transparency.
So what I did was I added the navy blue and then lowered the capacity to 40 percent.
So we still get the image.
But the text is still popping because what happened is if we just use this, this is hard to read.
All right.
But as soon as I add the filter on there, now our text is popping.
And if we really want to, you know, make it pop more, you just make a darker.
OK.
And then what that does is you still get the cool background effect.
We still have our cool logo in there.
We still have the cool text in there and learn video design.
And you can still do all the different things you want to do.
But.
It gives it a little more pop and a little more contrast.
So it's easier to read, you know, because you can get away with that when you have really cool stuff
that kind of has wild colors or it's too bright or whatever, you can work around that by adding a filter
in there to give it the contrast that you need.
So this is really a cool or third's.
And in fact, I'm going to be using this on my learned tech now broadcast on YouTube, so I'll be on
the lookout for that.
Make sure you check me out on YouTube as well.
I'm only kidding about that.
But so this is a really cool lower thirds.
So what we can do is we're going to have control shift ALTE s and we're gonna save this.
OK, I'm going to save that and rent a car at lower thirds to
save it.
And there you go.
So that is a really cool design, one that took me a long time to fiddle just with this.
I mean, I'll tell you a quick story about this and then we'll make one more Laura Third's with this.
I spent.
I want to say a week fiddling with this, finding this graphic.
I bought this online, but I spent a lot of time looking through a lot of images and stuff and trying
to find one that would relate to video.
And then I got the camera lens, which that's video personified.
So anything with video like that.
That's cool.
And what you could do is you could make this image bigger and then put a logo inside of there so that
it's the focal point of what you're doing.
OK, so that's a really cool thing to do.
And so what we're gonna do.
To pause the video real quick here.
OK.
So what we're going to do just real quickly, because we're going long in time here.
I'm going to create one more lower third.
So what I want to do is we're into file save as.
And we're going to do lower third three.
OK.
Lower thirds three.
OK.
So I'm gonna save that.
And what I'm going to do is we're just going to drop this image down.
And we're gonna keep everything else the same.
But I'm going to do is we're just going to change the position of the graphic itself so you can see,
like, right here.
That's kind of cool, right?
If I drop this down, let's keep going.
OK, that's kind of cool.
What I like about that is we really don't need the filter for that.
Do you see?
So that that's just kind of a cool way to, you know, use the graphics that you already have to.
You can really make a cool looking lower thirds like that, or we can have the filter and give it a
little more pop, which, you know, to each his own.
So let's save that file and then we're going to do control alt shift as OK.
And then we'll say this is a PMG and then we'll be all done with our lower thirds.
So.
And what I what I recommend doing, too, I'm not going to do this, but you can do this if you want.
And this is why I gave you some more content to work with.
If you want to use this logo, go for it.
That's why I included it in the files so that you can really play around with it and practice and learn
a lot about lower thirds design and video design as well, because it's something that I really love
doing and just have a passion for.
And so, again, I really appreciate you joining me today to learn about lower thirds.
If if you have any questions or concerns, let me know.
Thanks for watching and I'll see in the next video.
