To go to templates on Filmora, you will have to go to “My Media”, where you will see a list of options. Click “Preset Templates”. You will end up with further options: Custom and All Templates. The custom templates contain the ones which you will create in your projects. So far now let's stick to the ready-made templates of Filmora. So click on “All Templates” to see the existing Filmora templates as can be seen in the photo below.

Preset Template

You can choose any of the templates from all templates. Let us choose the first one. To make it work, you just need to click and drag it onto the timeline. Once it's pasted on the timeline, you will see it contains three audio tracks, a video, and the title. You can play it to check what's in there as shown below.

Drag Template to TimeLine

As we can see that we have three types of tracks on our template. Suppose we have to edit it. Since we are interested in the graphics but we can replace the video with our version. So, delete the video track from the timeline and add your one from media but here for an example we will add another one from the Filmora as shown below.

Edit a Template

Once you deleted the track you can now another video on it. So select a video, drag it to the timeline and crop any additional part of the video, and bingo you will have your video on the template.

You can also edit the text on the template. For that, you have to select the title track. After that hover over the title text on the video and double click on it to edit it. Upon doing that a new window of the text editor will open up on the left side of the Filmora. Type in your text from the text field of the new window. You can even change the font, color, and size and apply effects on the text as shown.

Add Text

You can do the same for any text on the video. After the edit, you can play the video and enjoy it. That’s not it but you can do this method with all templates to have fun. Another thing to have in your mind is the more graphics the template has, the more it will have the tracks on it. Let's say we add another template: a Minecraft template.
