Lower third — kicker

A kicker tag in the accent, a heavy name and a baseline that draws under it, the role beneath. Cardless, for footage.

Lower third — kicker at 16:9 — 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-kicker --prop kicker="Guest" --prop name="Jordan Okafor" --out lt-kicker.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-kicker --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out lt-kicker-9x16.mov
volito render broadcast/lt-kicker --format mp4 --out lt-kicker.mp4
volito still broadcast/lt-kicker --t 2.5 --out lt-kicker.png
volito info broadcast/lt-kicker     # every prop and part
volito add broadcast/lt-kicker      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("broadcast/lt-kicker"), { props: { kicker: "Guest", name: "Jordan Okafor" }, out: "lt-kicker.mov" });

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