Lower thirds & graphics – overlays like on TV

Nothing makes a stream look professional as quickly as clean overlays: the guest’s name at the right moment, the topic of the next block, the logo subtly in the corner. That’s what lower thirds are for – and in LiveShow Creator they’re set up in minutes.

A lower third is the text overlay in the lower part of the picture: a person’s name and role, locations, quotes, topics. LiveShow Creator ships with 12 professionally designed styles – pick one, type your text, done.

The decisive difference to graphics tools: the overlays live in the show rundown. Before the show you define which lower third belongs to which moment – live, a single tap brings up the right overlay. No searching, no typing under pressure.

How you work with overlays

  1. 01

    Pick a design

    12 lower-third designs from subtle to bold – chosen once, style and colors run through the entire show.

  2. 02

    Set up the texts in the rundown

    Prepare the matching lower third for every guest, topic and segment: name, title, info text. Everything sits in the right place in the rundown.

  3. 03

    Show them live with a tap

    During the show the prepared lower third appears on tap – or automatically if you tied it to a rundown cue. The director on the Director app can trigger them too.

  4. 04

    Logos, images and videos as overlays

    Beyond text lower thirds, place logos, graphics, images and even video sequences as overlays on your live picture – for sponsors, notes or decorative elements.

  5. 05

    Corner logo for the channel look

    Your logo permanently in the corner of the picture, like every TV channel – the corner logo (STUDIO) stays up for the whole broadcast.

FAQ

How many lower thirds can I use in one show?
Unlimited. Every guest, topic and segment gets its own prepared overlay in the rundown – live, you bring them up with a tap.
Can I show our logo and custom graphics?
Yes. Logos, images and even video sequences go over the live picture as overlays. For the permanent channel look there’s also the corner logo (STUDIO), which stays in the corner for the entire broadcast.
Who triggers the overlays during the show?
You, with a tap on the iPhone – or the director on the Director app on the iPad. And if you tie a lower third to a rundown cue, it appears fully automatically at the planned moment.
Do the overlays appear in the recording too?
Yes. Lower thirds and overlays are part of your program picture – they appear in the livestream on all platforms and in the local recording.
Which plan includes lower thirds?
From PRO (€29.99/month, cancel anytime, 3-day free trial) – lower thirds and graphic overlays are unlimited there. The corner logo joins in STUDIO mode.
