Starting a graphic: Pick from Library vs Start from Scratch
Choose a ready-made template package from the library or begin from an empty canvas when you create a new graphic.
When you create a new graphic, Helmo Graphics asks how you want to begin. You get two paths from the New Graphic dialog.
Pick from Library
Start from a professional template package. Every graphic in the package is duplicated into your company: a full, independent copy that you can edit freely without affecting the original.
- Click New Graphic.
- Choose Pick from Library.
- Browse the available template packages and select one.
- The package and all its graphics are copied into your company, ready to edit.
Starter Packs
The library ships with five redesigned Starter Packs, each built for a common production style:
- Podcast: talking-head lower thirds, episode titles, and now-playing bars.
- Church: song lyrics, scripture references, and service announcements.
- Sports: scoreboards, clocks, and team lower thirds.
- Football Reactions: fast reaction bugs, stats, and callouts.
- Universal Tools: a general-purpose kit of clocks, timers, and utility overlays.
Every pack was rebuilt around the newest Helmo Graphics features:
- Native seamless tickers: continuous crawlers that fill the full width with no visible restart.
- "Spotlight" blocks: a filtered photo paired with a caption, ready to drop in a name or headline.
- Zoom animations: smooth zoom-in/zoom-out reveals for a polished, modern look.
Start from Scratch
Create a new empty graphic. You set the name and resolution.
- Click New Graphic, then Start from Scratch.
- Enter a Name (for example, "Lower Third – Host").
- Pick a Resolution (default Full HD 1920×1080).
- Click Create and edit. The editor opens with an empty canvas.
If you hit a "quota exceeded" message, your team has reached its limit of active graphics. Deactivate or delete an unused package, or contact your admin to raise the quota.
