Titler Live includes a variety of pre-designed graphics for your productions, including static lower-third titles, animated main titles, network bugs, dynamic designs that show content from external data sources, and more. This article describes how to create a graphic with a design from Titler Live's library.
Tip: To create a custom design, see Create custom designs with flexible durations.

For details about how to set up a spreadsheet or other data source, see one of the articles in the Connect data to designs section of our help center.
