A lower third is the caption that tells you who is speaking. It sits in the lower third of the picture, which is where the name comes from. News and interviews use it constantly.
Type the name and a second line, such as a job title. Choose from four styles, pick a color, and set when it appears and for how long. It fades in and out by itself.
