Straight Lines

Yes, sort of. If you got to the Generators tab you will find the Shape Generator.

Add that to your timeline. In the Inspector/Generator tab, select the square shape, turn off the outline, and select the fill colour of your choice.

You now have a coloured square. The final step is to go into the Inspector/Video Tab and use the X/Y scale to get the line thickiness and length you want, set the position and change the rotation if desired.

Or you could use Motion to make a simpler template for yourself.

You could use a background generator and crop and position to your requirements.

Or you could use the all-new generator I have just made:
