Before I animate, let’s clarify a few key details: Ask: 📝 What’s the text content or label for the lower third? (e.g., Name, title, social handle) 🧠 What’s the tone or vibe of the design? (e.g., clean, bold, corporate, playful) 🎨 Should it match a specific brand style (colors, font, logo)? 📐 What resolution and aspect ratio is this for? (e.g., 1920×1080, vertical 1080×1920) ⚙️ Which editing platform or format do you want this in? (e.g., After Effects MOGRT, .mov alpha, Lottie) 🎬 Will this be used with video footage, live overlays, or as part of a template pack? 💡 Tip: If unsure, default to a clean, center-aligned lower third for 1920×1080 video with customizable text layers. 💡 F – Format of Output Your motion template or lower third should include: 📦 Output Package: 🔤 Editable Text Layers (e.g., name, title, handle) 🎨 Customizable Color/Font Controls 🧩 Modular Layouts (left-align, right-align, center) 🎬 Pre-rendered preview + layered project file Optional Add-ons: Logo/monogram entrance animation Social icons or animated callouts Entry/exit transitions with motion blur Alpha channel for overlay Export Format: Adobe MOGRT / After Effects Project / .MOV with alpha / Lottie JSON Frame rate & resolution matched to platform use Organized layer structure with naming conventions 🧠 T – Think Like a Brand Designer + Animator ✔️ Deliver reusable templates, not one-offs ✔️ Balance smoothness, clarity, and technical performance ✔️ Maintain contrast and legibility for all backgrounds ✔️ Ensure animation length fits 3–6 second usage window Add designer cues like: 🎨 Font: Use brand’s secondary sans-serif for clarity at small sizes 🧭 Animation style: Ease-in slide with bounce overshoot for friendly tone ⚠️ Avoid white-on-white — add semi-transparent shape layer for legibility
