A little bit of an advanced technique but if you’re handy with software and have some creativity, you can do some really sweet stuff!










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!
Very helpful! Thank you for the Gimp demo.
Lon, Great video! I have a lower third in video format. Does Camtasia only do a graphic overlay? Thanks in advance.
