Avatar Plate
Round avatar beside the name, for a face people know.
A lower third names whoever is speaking, or what is on screen, in the space along the bottom that footage usually leaves empty.

How this one is built
Avatar Plate is built from 2 shapes, 2 text layers and 1 image, using a 24-pixel backdrop blur behind frosted glass rimmed in white and a shadow 74 pixels deep. Its colours are near-black, white and blue. Type is set in Inter.
The plate scales up at 0.2s, the channel name and role slide in at 0.3s, the avatar and avatar ring scale up at 0.4s. The whole run is 6s at 60 frames a second.
It sits along the lower edge to the left of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 28% of the width at 538×178 pixels.
What to do with it
- Make it yoursChange the words, the colours and the timing without breaking the animation that was built for the shape.
- Export it with transparencyWhich format your editor actually reads, and why a black rectangle behind your graphic means the wrong one was chosen.
- Keep it out of the controlsA lower third lives in exactly the strip the player takes back whenever somebody touches the screen.

- What exporting costsOpening this template, changing it and watching it back are free. Getting the finished file out is $5 once for this project, or a plan if you make them often.
