{% hint style="info" %}
This workflow is thought and tested to be integrated with video servers capable of rendering a webpage, such as [OBS Studio ](/v2/features/note-lower-thirds-in-obs.md)or disguise d3.&#x20;

The ontime view is not able to composite video
{% endhint %}

### URL Modifiers

The Lower Third views are configurable by using URL parameters

{% hint style="info" %}
You can chain parameters using the & character

eg: */lower?bg=ff2\&text=f00\&size=0.6\&transition=5*
{% endhint %}

#### 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.&#x20;

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.

In doubt, use a [colour picker ](https://image-color.com/color-picker)to help.
