To enhance a basic lower third, you can add a headline element and two text lines, lead by a bullet symbol:

  1. Add a group as a sub-container to the object container, and name the group front_objects.

  2. Add a font as a sub-container of the front_objects group container, and name it headline.

    • Open the text editor by clicking the text symbol of the container.

    • In the text editor, enter the word Headline in the text input field and set the Horizontal orientation to Left. This positions the text on the right side of the Y axis to allow the text to be written from left to right.

  3. Add a material to the font container.

  4. Open the transformation editor. Scale and position the font so that the headline is placed in the upper left corner of the lower third background.

  5. Add a group container as a sub-container of the front_objects group, and name it bullet_1.

  6. As sub-containers of bullet_1, and add a font and an image or object to act as a bullet symbol.

    • Name the text container bullet_text and the image bullet_symbol.

  7. In bullet_text’s text editor enter the text "Bullet 1 text here".

    • Set the horizontal orientation to Left.

    • Add a material to the bullet_text container.

    • Scale and position the two containers reciprocally. Position the bullet_1 container under the headline.

  8. Copy the bullet_1 container by dragging it while holding down the CTRL key. Position it as a sub-container of the front_objects container.

    • Rename the copy to bullet_2.

    • Adjust the Y-position of bullet_2.
