Creating Lower Thirds for Camtasia

In this Screencast QuickTip, I address a member request for improving the look of a graphic he uses in his video called a "Lower Third".

Check out Todd’s "Crappy Sample" here:

    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.

    Lon, Great video! I have a lower third in video format. Does Camtasia only do a graphic overlay? Thanks in advance.
