Hi Friends! Hope that was helpful? did i miss anything? Let me know any questions with a comment or let me know other topics you'd like me to cover in future videos
Do any of these methods work on the Trial version?
what if i dont wanna paste them? all my effects are on my external hard drive and that folder in on the HD on the computer. My effects are way bigger than my main drive. And the new folders i copy are all localized but NOT showing up :(
Ok, here is what I found:
Title - file_name.moti.
Generator-file_name.motn.
Transition-File_Name.motr.
Effects-file_name.moef.
The file Extention is different. That makes life EZ fined which file belongs to where.
Thanks for this informative video. So, Apple Motion is the best way to insulate your plugins against FCP updates?
You are the only creator that walks through step by step and didn't miss anything. The instructions didn't include right-click on FCP and you're the only one that pointed the little hack. Thank you for this tutorial!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching 👍🙏😎
You are the ONLY ONE who resolved my issue.... I BOW TO YOU🙏🏼❤Feeling so so so grateful. Plus I love the British accent🤗

Hello Will!
Thanks for the Information!
One question I still have about faking of the "Motion Templates" folder 0n 08:44. I have per default a "Motion Template" folder. And this folder also contains folders "Compositions, Effects, Generators, Titles, Transition". They all already have the extension ".localized". As I tried to add ".localized" to the "Motion Templates" folder, I got the message, that I already have such a folder.
As you see in my case faking of the folder in not possible.
Can I use default folder "Motion Templates" without buying "Motion" software ?
Best regards👋
Very helpful, keep up
Thanks, will do! 🙏👍😎
Hi Will, great video.
I've recently installed Motion and am pretty confused. In my Movies folder, all the Motion Templates folders are empty. I don't see where to find the Apple Motion templates to place in those folders. Should they be there automatically?
What I was hoping to do with Motion is modify clips in an existing FCPX project.
So I have an existing Final Cut project and want to enhance (scale, movement, color saturation, etc) using key frames on a clip in that project.
I don't see how to apply those effects to the clip using Motion while in Final Cut. Do I have to export the clip to Motion somehow?
If so, it seems I won't be able see how the clip works in the Final Cut project as I go. I'm sure I'm missing something very basic. I'm on OS 12.6, Final Cut 10.6.4, Motion 5.6.2 Thanks in advance!
thanks man
Happy to help
very helpful video .. thanks fr the info. I hv a question 🙋♂️, fr template packs, etc we hv in envato, where its written supported software FCPX,Apple Motion. .. in those cases r they saying that u meed apple motion to use the packs ?
Will….Outstanding really…..OUTSTANDING!!!!! myself I like 👍 the Apple motion way as you mentioned…..it’s faster and most of all It’s SAFE Again Thank you sooooo much..
Thanks Allan! 👍🙏😎
useful brother
Thank you very much
Thanks! Helped me two years later. Lol
Glad I could help!
thanks broo
You’re welcome 👍🙏😎
Spending the $50 sounds like the better deal! Thanks for presenting both options! I am considering buying my first plugins.. I see an ad for fcpx full access for $97. Any thoughts on the full access bundle?
Thank you
👍🙏😎
Hey, this is so helpful and very clear compared to other videos Ive watched, so when you buy a title package or effects whats the easiest way to add them to motion templates in finder ?
Thanks Matt, just copy paste the folder of the pack into the Titles folder. Hope that helps
Great stuff! I’m using your layers and did bury it in the FCP catacombs. Curious what screen recording program you’re using?
Excellent! I use Quicktime for my screen records, free and easy and does the job 👍🙏😎
Thank
thankuuu
Happy to help! 👍🙏😎
What about if I installed lots of plugins and now I don't know which of them are titles, effects, generators or transitions?
this was very well done & helpful however I have the four editors bundle, did everything exactly how its presented and still none of the transitions are showing up in Final Cut. made sure the the folder was .localized restarted final cut and still the new transitions don't pop up in the transitions section
Thank you! Very nice presentation. One question, if I have a bunch of files how can I find out which goes into which folder? What is the difference between them? Thanks.
the effects should tell you what sort of effect they are so you can just place them in the most logical folder, titles in the titles folder, transitions in the transitions folder etc. hope that helps
Hey Will, thanks for the video but while following you step by step I notice I don't have the User Folder in finder - even though I have "motion". What must i do since I don't see the User Folder to get into movies folder?
Hi, thanks for watching! You have a couple of options, you can click on macHD in finder sidebar and that should then show you the user folder (in my case it’s called Will) or you can go into finder preferences (top left near Apple logo) and customise finder sidebar so it includes user folder for future. Hope that helps 👍🙏😎
thankyou1
You’re welcome!
Was able to install Transitions and Generators with ease, however none of the effects I installed are showing up in the Effect Listing. What am I doing wrong?
Check the effects are in there own folder within the effects folder, this has helped me sometimes 👍
great video thanks man you are only man honest. can you make next video about how to someones Facebook live that can be sharing to RUclips live by using OBS . thanks
Hi Khawa, thanks, I don’t do much streaming so probably not the best person to help you with that
Would the last option work if your finalcut pro is based in an External Hardrive?
Yep absolutely, that’s how I use it
Hopefully watch this video yesterday 🥲
