Supers / Lower Thirds

Step-by-step guide for adding supers for your talents name/title information.

In Premiere Pro - 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


Delete Template

You can delete the template from your project once you have made your duplicates, this will remove any confussion

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

Create a new sequence for your Supers

Drag all your Supers onto the timeline


Spacing

Give space between your Supers so they don't automatically play before they're required

The red bars above the Supers (in the previous image) indicate that the clips need rendering

Go to Sequence > Render OR select the Return button on the keyboard for the shortcut


Make sure you Render!

The Supers will not play if they have not been rendered

This is what a Name_Title Super looks like

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



Have fun!
