Lower third — mask reveal

Cardless: an accent sweep crosses the frame and leaves the name behind it, then the role fades up. Made for footage.

Lower third — mask reveal 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-reveal --prop name="Maya Chen" --prop role="Documentary editor" --out lt-reveal.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-reveal --aspect 9:16 --style cobalt --out lt-reveal-9x16.mov
volito render broadcast/lt-reveal --format mp4 --out lt-reveal.mp4
volito still broadcast/lt-reveal --t 2.5 --out lt-reveal.png
volito info broadcast/lt-reveal     # every prop and part
volito add broadcast/lt-reveal      # copy its source into ./motion to edit

From Node:

import { findItem, renderVideo } from "volito";

await renderVideo(findItem("broadcast/lt-reveal"), { props: { name: "Maya Chen", role: "Documentary editor" }, out: "lt-reveal.mov" });

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