# Using Text Template Source

The text template source can add splendid animation effects and allow users to set their own messages.

To add this, click the **+** button in the **Sources** tab. Then, select **Text Template** source and click **OK**.

A list of available text templates will appear, as shown in the image below. There are five categories: **TITLE**, **SCREEN SAVER**, **SOCIAL**, **CAPTION**, and **STICKER**.

When you select a template, the text you entered in the textbox is previewed with the template's animation. Click the **OK** button to add the text template, or click **Detailed Settings** to adjust various options, such as font, size, color, and motion settings.
