Now when you look at the animation you’ll see you’re offset box.
Pull up the Position of Text Box 2 and Option (or Alt) + click the Stopwatch and add the following expression:ĭ=thisComp.layer("Controller").effect("Delay")("Slider").Change its fill color so that you’ll be able to see which one is which.Duplicate Text Box 1 and drag the duplicate below it (should be named “Text Box 2”).If the null isn’t at the top of the layer stack then go ahead and move it there. With the null still selected go to Effect > Expression Controls > Slider Control.
Create a new null object, Layer > New > Null Object, and name it Controller.You can ease these keyframes to get a nicer look. At frame 70 change the X position so that the text box is off screen and give it a little bit of extra so any offset copies will make it off screen too.At frame 40 place another keyframe for the Position where it is on screen.Then at frame 0 change the Y position of the box so that it is off screen.At frame 20 set a keyframe for the Position of Text Box 1.Let’s go ahead and animate this text box so when we add the offset layers we’ll see it happening. Parent the text layers to Text Box 1 and then move Text Box 1 into place as a lower third.Drag the text box below the text layers in the layer stack.Adjust the size of the rectangle path to fit your text and change your fill to whatever color you want.Use the Add button to add a Rectangle and a fill to Text Box 1.Then use the Type tool and type out the text for the lower third.
Begin by making a new composition size 1920 x 1080, at 29.97fps, and call it Lower Third.
