Animated lower thirds that appear when you do
Ask the Tella Agent for a lower third with your name and role. Tella Motion animates it, times it to your intro and keeps it clear of your face.
Try it in Tella
Paste a prompt into the Tella Agent in the editor, or into Claude or ChatGPT connected to Tella, then ask for changes.
Add an animated lower third with my name, Jamie Rivera, and my role, Head of Product, when I first appear. Slide it in from the left with a thin accent line, hold it for four seconds, and keep it away from my face.
Add a lower third for each of the two speakers the first time they talk. Put the name on line one and the company on line two. Use one design with a different accent color per person.
When I introduce myself, add a lower third with my name, title and example.com in navy with white text. Bring it back for the last five seconds with a call to book a demo.
How do I add an animated lower third to a video with AI?
In Tella, ask the Tella Agent for a lower third with a name and role, and it builds an animated name card with Tella Motion. It uses the transcript to time the card to when the person is introduced or starts talking. It checks video frames to keep the card off your face, cursor and screen content.
How to do it
- Open your video and chat with the Tella Agent (Shift + S if hidden).
- Give the name, role and when it should appear.
- Describe colors, side of the frame, entrance and how long it stays.
- Ask for copies with other names for each speaker or topic.
Good to know
- Available to everyone: through the Tella Agent on a paid plan or the 7-day trial, or through Claude or ChatGPT on any plan.
- Each copy is independent, so you can change one without changing the rest.
- Lower thirds play as overlays on your recorded clips and show in shared and exported videos.
- You can add plain text overlays by hand from the editor's Overlay tool.
