Hello everyone, how do you use the bottom third feature in premeir 1.5?

go to "newtitle" and select lower thirds from the presets menu

premiere 1.5 does not have a "bottom thirds" feature. This is just the name given to the process of overlaying a graphic over the top of the bottom of your movie clip, typically in the style of a news broadcast.

As 'notmilk' says, the titler is probably the easiest way of doing this as it contains a bundle of 'presets' for you to use. Alternatively, juyst create any graphic in your favourite image editor and place it on layer two of your sequence.
