<p>It is often called a lower third because it is a bar often appearing in the lower third of the image.  Also sometimes a name plate or title plate.</p>

<p>Sorry about the terrible title question. I'll edit it if I get an answer to be more useful to others, or you're welcome to do so.</p>
<p>I'm trying to find tutorials and even inspiration for stuff like the DKS bar in this picture:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/Tv9RH.jpg" alt="image from video" /></p>
<p>I looked up &quot;trade show videos&quot; &quot;after effects titles&quot; &quot;after effects text&quot; and haven't really found much that's helping. Is there a name used in the video world for that part of a video which might help me find more examples?</p>
<p>Here's the video set to this moment so you can see it all animated:</p>

I looked up "trade show videos" "after effects titles" "after effects text" and haven't really found much that's helping. Is there a name used in the video world for that part of a video which might help me find more examples?
