How this one is built
YouTube Editorial Identity is built from 4 text layers, 3 shapes and 1 image. Its colours are white, red, deep blue and grey. Type is set in Inter.
The channel handle tab, editable channel handle and editable presenter name fade up at 0s, the identity red spine scales up at 0s. The whole run is 7s at 60 frames a second.
It sits along the lower edge to the left of a 16:9 composition, spanning about 43% of the width at 828×299 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.
- YouTube Lower Third MakerBuild your own name plate from nothing, sized for the screen most of your audience watches on.
- 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.
