Customizing Replay 360 Lower Third
Hello all,
Is there a way to customize the lower third animation and/or static templates? I'd like to be able to vary that for different purposes or updating the look from time to time.
Thanks,
--Allen

Hi, is there any update on this? Being able to change the font and position to the Lower Third would be so helpful. It is a shame that it is not a standard option for a video editor.
Hi Kimberly!
Thanks for checking in on this!
I don't have any updates to share at this time, but I've logged your feedback with our product team. We'll be sure to notify you if this feature makes it to our Feature Roadmap.
Have a great start to your week!

I certainly agree what everyone else is stating for Replay 360.
It has so much promise, and I've used it quite easily for some smaller productions, but some things would make it better:
- Transparency of the caption block
- Font type/size/color adjustment
- Transition options
Effectively, Replay 360 needs to have some weight behind it as it's a solid concept, but it needs more investment.

I came here looking for this too. This would be a great feature to have.
It seems like Replay 360 is a dead-end product. There have been no new features since its release almost 6 years ago. There hasn't even been a new release since January of last year. It feels like a box-checking product: "Yeah, we have a screen recorder and video editor".
Hi Gareth,
We're still monitoring requests for more customization options with lower thirds in Replay 360, so I added your voice to the feature request that we already have open. You can check out which features are being worked on by visiting our roadmap, and here's a quick look at how we handle feature requests. We'll let you know as soon as we have an update!

Adding my vote for lower third customization. At least font and placement options.

Hi, Craig!
Thank you for describing how you would use this feature, and its impact on accessibility. I added your comments to the report.
We'll update this discussion when we have news to share.

Hi there, I'd like to add one more facet to this discussion. I produce screencasts for the public and for staff. One of the things that is important, particularly for our organization, since we are a library that serves low vision people, is the ability to change the colors and such of the lower third captions to make them have higher contrast ratios and such. We have to have something that is accessible, not just for blindness. hearing issues, motor issues (keyboard access) but also low vision issues. Even the implementation of something like a high contrast mode (where you can put yellow on a black background) would be welcomed. If you all have a commitment to accessibility, then you should allow more flexibility in this area so that we all can make our materials more accessible to the greatest extent possible.

This was raised 3 years ago and still nothing has been done...
We are still tracking this feature request, so I appreciate everyone taking the time to share their feedback on this feature. We'll make sure to update this discussion if more customization options with lower thirds in Replay make it on our feature roadmap!

changing the font and lower third background colour are essential functions - are they close to being added?
- ErinMorris-c7f2Community Member
We are also interested in customizing the lower thirds. Ideally, we'd like the color, font, and font size to match our branding requirements. We have a few colors we can choose from, but we would like to stay within the brand guidelines.
