Lower third / Location caption
Watch as an animation →Show a name, place, or year small at the bottom or in a corner of the screen to give context without any explanation.
Interview name tags, a chronicle where the place and year change every scene, or citing the source of a number.
Don't ask the AI to draw text. At the start-frame stage, leave room for the caption (the upper third or one corner), and put on a Pillow PNG with overlay=enable='between(t,a,b)' and a fade. Use one design, like a brand-color plate, in the same position on every cut, and take it off before the next cut comes in over it. Keep it apart from the narration captions, one above and one below, so they don't overlap.
Show a lower-third name or place caption from second 1 to second 4, using your own transparent PNG (never let the AI draw the text) and a calm area left empty in the shot: ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -i name.png -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay=60:H-h-160:enable='between(t,1,4)'" -c:a copy out.mp4
