Technical name for a lower 3rd?
This is a bit of a random question, but I remember reading/hearing before a technical term for a lower 3rd. I totally forgot what it was, think it might’ve started with a T :S. I think it was a term used for a graphic that would go behind the text in a lower 3rd. Anyone have any ideas? It’s suddenly been nagging on my mind lol.

“Super” for super-impose in the old days, “Downstream key”, “Font”, “Chyron”, “Title”, “Locator”. Take your pick. Almost depends on where you are from.

My boss uses the term “font”. I had never heard them called fonts before, so when she said, “you need to put the fonts in” for the first time, my answer was, “what fonts” thinking arial, helvetica….
We went around like that for a few minutes before I understood.

A lot of people call them Baseballs – for the name we’d put up over the batter.
