Graphics Library/Library overview

Titler Live's Graphics Library includes collections of all graphics that are installed with Titler Live, which can be graphics that come with Titler Live, custom graphics you have created and saved to the Graphics Library, and graphics collections you installed separately.

Graphics are available from within the playout interface and the Designer; however, when you're working in the Designer, this library is expanded to include presets of styles, effects, transitions, shapes, and lighting so you can quickly apply preset attributes to graphics and their design layers.
