Lower third — two bars

A name bar wipes in from one side and a role bar in the accent from the other, the words rising inside their bars.

Lower third — two bars at 16:9
0.00 / 5.00 s
Playing live with volito/browser, the engine a render uses. Each tab lays the item out again for that shape, not a crop. The graphic is transparent; the grey stands in for your footage.

Render it

npx volito render broadcast/lt-bars --prop name="Priya Sharma" --prop role="Product designer" --out lt-bars.mov

That writes ProRes 4444 with alpha, ready to drop over footage. The same item in another shape, brand or format:

volito render broadcast/lt-bars --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out lt-bars-9x16.mov
volito render broadcast/lt-bars --format mp4 --out lt-bars.mp4
volito still broadcast/lt-bars --t 2.5 --out lt-bars.png
volito info broadcast/lt-bars     # every prop and part
volito add broadcast/lt-bars      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("broadcast/lt-bars"), { props: { name: "Priya Sharma", role: "Product designer" }, out: "lt-bars.mov" });

Or ask an agent with the MCP server connected: “Render the Volito lower third — two bars (broadcast/lt-bars) in 9:16, in our brand.”
