You pretty much nailed this, Preston. Showing up to the tech scout on the same day / time that you plan on shooting is critical, especially if you're shooting an exterior. Here's an in-depth article that dives deeper on tech scouting as well https://www.studiobinder.co...

Re: How to Make Lower Third Titles That Don’t Suck

shantkiraz — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 16:52:35 -0000

Great article, Jason. The simplest solution is often the best one. I've seen some lower thirds that just go too far in the "fancy" department, which actually just takes away from where the attention should actually be going.

How do you feel about using .mogrt's? Are there any other ones besides the PBS one you recommend? Been using this as of late. https://www.studiobinder.co...

There's a lot of lower thirds templates out there; we actually just released one which is a .mogrt (super easy to customize, minimal design, and free). :-) https://www.studiobinder.co...

Re: Create a Lower Third in After Effects & use it in Premiere Pro with Live Text

Great video, Nathanial. I sent this to my team and they found it super useful. Is there a way to align the position with the first name?

We made a lower thirds template (in .mogrt format) which makes it easy to customize all within PP (without going into AE to change things). Would love to know what you think :) https://www.studiobinder.co...
