JOUR2002 - Supers / Lower Thirds

Step-by-step guide for adding/creating supers for your subjects name/title information

Create a Bin called Supers

Double click the bin to open it

Right click > Import... to import the super/lower third graphic


Shortcut

Double clicking inside of a bin = shortcut for importing files

Navigate to STUDENT_RESOURCES > Super/Lower Third > CurtinSuper_v1.aep and select OK

You are importing a live After Effects Composition

Inside the Comps folder - select which version you want to use (I have chosen Name and Title for this exercise)


Select OK

The file is now inside your project ready for editing

STOP!

DO NOT USE the version you have imported, this is the template

You will need to duplicate the file before using

You will need to make a duplicate for every person you need to use a super for

Duplicate as many versions as you need and rename them accordingly

Double Click on each name you have created

This will open that particular file in the Effect Controls panel in the Source window

Change the Name and Title information

Drag the file onto your timeline above the clip/person you need to identify

This is what a Name_Title Super looks like

It will animate on and off screen over a 5 second period



Have fun!
