Library overview

Titler Live's library includes collections of all designs that are installed with Titler Live, which can be designs that come with Titler Live, custom designs you have created and saved to the library, and design collections you purchased separately.

Designs are available from within the playout interface and the Title Designer; however, when you're working in the Title Designer, the library also includes collections of styles, effects, transitions, shapes, and lighting so you can quickly apply preset attributes to designs.

Note: The Title Designer is not available in Titler Live Express.

Browse collections of designs and attributes

Choose View > Library to view the Library panel (if it's not already visible), then click the Expand icon in the Library panel to browse collections of designs and attributes.

Collections in the playout interface and Title Designer 

Click the following buttons in the Library panel to view those collections. These collections are available in the playout interface and Titler Designer.

• Designs (in the playout interface) or Project templates (in the Title Designer) — These designs show a variety of static and dynamic content. For example, you can broadcast a static logo or connect to a data source and show live data such as a social media poll that is updated throughout a broadcast.
• Inputs (not available in NewBlueNTX) — These designs are driven by external data inputs. For example, the Facebook Comments design (located in Library > Inputs > Social) shows the results of a keyword poll and displays the number of times certain words appear in Facebook comments.

For more information about connecting designs to data sources, see articles in the Connect data to designs section of our help center.
