About the Location Lower Third Block animation

Location Lower Third Block is part of the Lower Thirds set. A pin block lands first, the place name wipes out from behind it and the venue steps down underneath. Change the words and colours to match your channel, then export it to drop over your video.

Where it fits

  • A pin block lands first, the place name wipes out from behind it and the venue steps down underneath.
  • Show where you are, at the moment a viewer is most likely to act.

Filling it in

Place it where the viewer's eye already is, and keep it on screen for the full animation. Keep the words short so they read on a phone.

Format and timing

Location Lower Third Block is built at 640 × 360, a 16:9 landscape frame, the shape of a YouTube video, a stream layout and most editing timelines, and runs 4 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.0 seconds, holds for 2.1 and clears in 0.9, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K on a paid plan, and Pro opens it free for the first seven days.
