Creating Lower Thirds for Camtasia

In this Screencast QuickTip, I address a member request for improving the look of a graphic he uses in his video called a "Lower Third".

Check out Todd’s "Crappy Sample" here:

Hi Lon,

I love that you show us how to use GIMP in the bonus video about the Lower Third. I’ve spent many hours trying to learn how to work in Gimp as I do not have any PS experience to build from.

You made it look easy! And now I can’t wait to add a lower third to my next video.

Awesome Tanya! Let us know what you come up with!

Lon, Great video! I have a lower third in video format. Does Camtasia only do a graphic overlay? Thanks in advance.

Hi Lon,

Great! I downloaded GIMP a long time ago, used it once then forgot I had it until now. The demo has given me ideas as to how and where I can use it in our company web site. Thanks.

Hi – this is a nicely produced video with good information in it.

It makes me wonder what other good stuff you have in your paid membership and if I shouldn’t get hold of some of that 😉

Best, Malc
