Until today, I had not been able to get anything to work with lower thirds. I finally got the dock to appear correctly, but now the browser source isn't displaying for either the original program, nor the simple lower thirds you just posted. I found I didn't have the correct direction slash in the file reference for the dock, so once corrected, I got the dock back, but no matter how I set up the slashes for the browser source, I can't seem to get it to display for me.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong here? I had Animated lower thirds working until the last update, and since then, I have been struggling with it.
