A great way to learn LiveType or even Motion is to open up one of the pre-made templates and examine it carefully. When you open a template in LiveType, you have the benefit of being able to view every element, effect and the relationships used to forge that particular piece. Pick it apart, change and replace elements, try to recreate it in another project. You're not confined to a world made of presets! Since their is very little literature out there for LiveType, here is how to get to the presets:

1 Go to File > Open Template and peruse through the categories.

2 Select the format you will be working in (NTSC, PAL, HD) then choose a template and click the OK button.

By selecting a title clip in the timeline, the text opens up in the Text Entry Box for manipulation. The same goes for the other elements of the template.
