Save shapes with text

[stefan28697092rg5h]

Hello all,

I have made with a new 'standardtext' two shapes with two texts, see my picture. I also made it move in and out with keyframes. Everything works fine but how do I save this now, so that I can use this later on with other projects? 

If I save it as a preset, I need to make a new standard text and when I add my new added preset, my shapes are gone and the new added text interacts it only with the keyframes. 

So in a summery, how do I save this so I can use this 'nametag' thats what I call it, and how can I open it later on again without that I have to edit the shapes, texts and so on? Can I save it as a kind of 'standaline' file? That I don't need to add a new text fields of something.

I watched a lot of Youtube tutorials but nothing seems to cover this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Elements is very limited, cannot save it as a template.

BTW this is called a lower third.

You can save this as a file with transparency and use it in other projects.

Custom > Advanced settings > Quicktime > Animation codec > 8 + alpha.

Thank you for your reply. I've followed the your steps but if I change it to a full export file, I can't change the names anymore. That's sad I can't make a template. I've worked with Premiere Pro years ago and this problem was never an issue. I think I have to back to Da Vinci unfortunately.

No you cannot change the names as its burned in.

make a seperate project with all the names and export.

That's a good idea. I've tried this and it works. Thank you.
