The `ratings` Default Overlay File is used to create an overlay based on the Critic Rating, Audience Rating, and User Rating in Plex for each item within your library.
This file only updates the overlays based on the data in Plex. Use the [Mass * Rating Update Library Operation](../../config/operations.md#mass--rating-update) and the [Mass Episode * Rating Update Library Operation](../../config/operations.md#mass-episode--rating-update) to update Plex to the Ratings you want on the Overlay.
The below YAML in your config.yml will create the overlays:
```yaml
Movies:

- pmm: ratings

rating1: critic
rating2: audience
rating3: user
rating1_image: imdb

```
## Template Variables
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.
Note that the `templates_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.
All [Shared Overlay Variables](variables) are available with the default values below as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.
All [Shared Overlay Variables](variables) can be appended by `rating1_`, `rating2_`, or `rating3_` to change that attribute on each rating individually.
| `horizontal_position` | **Description:** Choose the horizontal position for the rating group.<br>**Default:** `left`<br>**Values:** `left`, `right`, or `center` |
| `vertical_position` | **Description:** Choose the vertical position for the rating group.<br>**Default:** `center`<br>**Values:** `top`, `bottom`, or `center` |
| `rating_alignment` | **Description:** Choose the display alignment for the rating group.<br>**Default:** `vertical`<br>**Values:** `horizontal`, or `vertical` |

The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.
