Creating “lower thirds” with Vegas Pro 8. By Gary Rebholz We've all seen the flashy graphics that news organizations, documentarians, and many other video editors use to create titling and graphics that overlay an interview or some other piece of video. As you may know, the industry generally refers to these graphics as lower thirds even if these graphics don't actually occupy a complete third of the video screen, or even though they may not actually occupy the lower area of the screen at all.

Regardless of where the editor actually places these graphics, they provide a great value to identifying the speaker in the video or imparting other information. And it's a pretty safe bet that sooner or later—probably sooner—you're going to want to create lower thirds for your videos too. The possible approaches to creating these graphics are virtually unlimited. You can create all or a portion them outside of Vegas Pro software and bring them into your project just like any other media. I've just added the empty track 2 to my project.
