Novus Visualizers
Using the templates library and saving your own templates
Browse the full engine-and-preset library and the community Hot Templates, apply one as a working starting point, and save your own configured scene as a reusable template.
Templates in Novus Visualizers are no longer a fixed internal gallery — they are a shared, browsable surface. The Templates page exposes the full engine-and-preset library with filters that persist in the URL, and the Community surface highlights a rotating set of Hot Templates contributed and saved by other creators.
This tutorial covers how to browse and apply templates as working starting points, and how to save your own configured scene as a reusable template — including why a saved template carries the audio, engine, layers, and settings together rather than just a style.

1. Browse the templates library
Open the Templates page to see the full library across 111 engine families and thousands of presets. Use the filters to narrow by variant and category; the filters persist in the URL, so you can share or return to a filtered view.
Single-click a template to open it — there is no double-click required — and previews showcase each engine's modes so you can tell variants apart before committing.
- 111 engine families, thousands of presets.
- Filters persist in the URL; separate cards for 2D / 3D / 4D / Advanced.

2. Find Hot Templates from the community
The Community surface highlights Hot Templates — reusable setups contributed and saved by other creators. These are real creator work rather than a static set everyone starts from, so the library keeps widening over time.
Applying a community template is a fast way to start from something that already works and then make it your own.
- Hot Templates surface popular community setups.
- The library grows with real creator work, reducing the "template trap".

3. Apply a template as a working starting point
Applying a template is closer to opening a working starting point than pasting a style — because a saved project carries the audio, the chosen engine and mode, the layer composition, and the editing settings together, the structure travels with it. Start from a template, then customize the parts that make it your release.
Change the factors that make an output feel like yours: color systems, artwork placement, motion intensity, scene emphasis, and how audio energy maps into movement.
- A template brings structure; you supply the differentiation.
- Customize color, artwork, intensity, and audio mapping.

4. Save your own template
When you build a look you will reuse, save your configured scene as a reusable template that reopens with its settings intact. This is how you build a personal library of starting points that match your style, so each new release starts from a pattern that already worked rather than a blank editor.
Saved templates live with your account alongside your projects and albums, so they are available whenever you start something new.
- Save a configured scene as a reusable template.
- Build a personal library of your own starting points.
Templates are starting points, not finish lines
The best use of a template is as a head start you then make unmistakably yours. Apply one, change the color system and artwork to match your release, and adjust the audio reactivity — then, if the result is a look you will reuse, save it as your own template so the next release is even faster.
