Notes

*Useful for keying and compositing workflows

**Value depends on screen size

Note on hexadecimal colours

The colours in lower thirds are defined in hexadecimal. In short, we use 3 sets of hexadecimal values to define values for Red, Green and Blue.

eg: FF0000 would generate a full red colour with no green or blue present

One neat trick is the ability to use a third set to set an alpha channel value. This is very useful for compositing

eg: FF000055 would generate a 30% transparent red.

This workflow is thought and tested to be integrated with video servers capable of rendering a webpage such as or disguise d3.

In doubt, use a to help.
