A visual template is a ready-made visual you start from. VRA comes with standard templates in your station branding, and you can save your own visuals as templates. A visual made from a template is your own copy: changing it does not change the template.

Use a standard template

1

Open the templates

Go to Visuals → Templates, or click Add new on Visuals → Overview and choose From template.
2

Pick a template

Under Standard templates, keep All or filter on Tickers, Title screens, Station logo or Lower thirds, and click a template.
3

Name and create

Give the visual a name and click Create. The Visual Designer opens on your new visual.

Standard templates

Every standard template is 16:9. Each standard template comes ready to go on air:
  • Your branding. Colors and logo come from your station branding, linked to your brand colors. Without branding, the template uses its own colors and your station name instead of a logo.
  • Live data. Text is linked to what is on air, like the program, its presenter and the current track.
  • Animations. Each template animates in and out.
  • Visual variables. Text you type per broadcast, like the ticker message or a guest’s name and role, is a visual variable, with a value you set per broadcast.

Save a visual as a template

Open the visual, choose Convert to template in More actions in the header, confirm and save. The visual itself becomes the template, it does not make a copy. The template shows up under Visual Templates on the templates page, and the header shows a Template badge while you edit it.

Use your own template

Go to Visuals → Templates, open the menu of a template and choose Use template. Name the new visual and click Create.
