5
Collapse the Finished bin in the Project panel so you are back at the root level of 
the bins.
6
Import lower third.psd from the Lesson 19 folder. When prompted, choose to 
import as a sequence rather than as layers, and click OK.
7
Expand the new “lower third” bin that has been added to the Project panel. This 
bin contains three clips that constitute the three-layered Photoshop file. It also 
contains a “lower third” sequence that has the three layers assembled in the 
same layered order as they were in Photoshop.

8
Open the lower third sequence by double-clicking it in the Project panel, and 
press the backslash (\) key to expand the view in the Timeline.
Re-creating the lower-third animation
The next step is to re-create the lower third animation. Here’s how:
1
Select the Lower Third bg/lower third clip, and open the Effect Controls panel.
2
Expand the Motion fixed effect, and then position the current-time indicator at 
about one second into the clip.
3
Enable keyframes for the Position parameter by clicking the stopwatch. This 
places a keyframe at the position of the current-time indicator. Change the 
Position value to –360, 240. This adds a keyframe at this position. Next, move the 
current-time indicator ten frames, and change the Position value to 360, 240.
4
Play the sequence to verify that the lower third background slides from the left 
side to the center over the first second of the clip. Right-click (Windows) or 
Control-click (Mac OS) the second keyframe, and set Temporal Interpolation 
to Ease In. Play the sequence again, and notice what a nice touch the Ease In 
setting has on the animation.
5
Expand the Opacity effect, and notice that Opacity is set to 70%. This Opacity 
value was set in Photoshop and is imported correctly in Adobe Premiere Pro.
#
 Note:
In this case, the blend modes in the imported Photoshop layers are set to Normal. But if 
you import Photoshop layers with other blend modes, Adobe Premiere Pro will import and use the 
blend modes as they were set in Photoshop.
