As a class we have all agreed on a specific rule when making the lower thirds for the interviews. obviously you change the PSD files accordingly for your podcast tittle and persons name.
The black bar with text should fade in together over around half a second and should be visible for around 3 to 4 seconds they then fade out similar to how they begun.
The agreed proportions for the lower thirds are as follows;
Text > Lower Thirds

Text: Course
Font: Arial 36pts
Style: Normal
Matte > Colour Solid
