Video Templates

Ensure videos are properly branded by using the Georgia Tech logo bug, closing slide, and lower thirds templates. Video templates have expanded to include additional colors, sizes, positions, alignments, and backgrounds for lower thirds and information overlays. See the instructional videos below for demonstrations of the new features.

Review the video style guide for additional branding guidelines, the planning and filming checklists before production begins, and the 11-step video editing workflow to streamline each phase of production.
