Thank you so much. I needed 2:47. It was so annoying. Anything I had in my Motion Templates folder, it kept going to a folder called Custom when I open Final Cut Pro. I did not know I needed a Category Folder > Template Folder > Template File. This all makes sense now. Awesome video!
AHHHHH THEY STILL DONT SHOW WHAT AM I DOING WRONG.. Just bought envato elements and using final cut pro.. they just not showing up in titles. Im trying to download a cool template for hours now..
You won’t see the Motion Templates folder in Final Cut. Only the templates you add to the folders created in this video will show. Using the trial should not prevent you from seeing the templates. Download the free adjustment layer template if you need an example anawesomeguide.com/downloads/
Thanks for the video, I have done everything and checked that all folders have localized but my title effects are still not showing in Final Cut Pro X, possible related to the update? I have both of FCPX and motion installed.
Check with the plugin developer to confirm what versions are compatible. Send me an email with the specifics of the plugin and you’re version FinalCutProHelp@AnAwesomeGuide.com
Final Cut Pro Help thanks so much for your help. After option+command+click fcpx, I found 2 templates folders and was able to find all the plug-ins after relocated them to the new folders. Thanks again for your amazing videos. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
.mov files are videos that could be imported directly into a Final Cut Library. If the .mov is part of an effect, generator, or other template, check with the developer as there should be other files to go with it
Correct, Motion Templates.localized created in this video needs to be saved in Movies. If you don't have the Motion Templates folders but want to install a template, follow the steps shown to create them. Final Cut Pro has an option to store templates in a Libary but I don't see a supported way to move Motion Templates. I do not recommend using the following method but if you are feeling adventurous and have a backup of your data, research how to create a symbolic link (symlink) using Terminal.
correct, Motion and Final Cut Pro are developed by Apple and only available on macOS. There are alternatives for Windows. I recommend searching the web for "Windows NLE" to find a video editing app (Final Cut replacement) and "Windows motion graphics" for visual effects apps (Motion replacement)
Within Final Cut Pro or Motion there is not a way to move those folders. However, there is a way to use the Terminal to modify the path. I have not tried the method and don't recommend it as it could break when updating software. However, you can search the web for "move motion templates folder" and there is an Apple discussions thread that explains the command. As with anything I recommend making a backup of your data before trying that.
I have a question, I have downloaded previous effects presets which contain zooms and bounces etc...now i had them on my previous version of fcp which was on a mac computer, i re-downloaded them again and the keyframes for the zooms and bounces don't work at all (nothing happens to the clip) im using them on a macbook air at the minute, do you know why this is and if so can you help??
It may be helpful to check with the creators of those presets and effects to verify they work with the version you’re using. It’s possible something didn’t fully get installed. Feel free to send an email with screenshots or additional details of the effect to FinalCutProHelp@AnAwesomeGuide.com
It’s tricky to downgrade but search the web for “Downgrade macOS’ and you’ll find articles that people have written with steps. I have to done a downgrade recently so I don’t know what steps work but I do recommend having a backup.
The Adjustment Layer is the free template I recommend if you need to to try. Click the add to cart button on this page to add the free Adjustment Layer anawesomeguide.com/adjustmentlayer/
In most cases, the templates will not be visible inside Final Cut Pro. As an example, I dragged the @FinalCutProHelp folder containing an Adjustment Layer template. If .localized was not added to the Titles folder, the Adjustment layer would not be visible in Final Cut.
Send me an email with more detail. Which plugin are you trying to install? Have you verified it is compatible with the version of Final Cut installed on the Mac? FinalCutProHelp@AnAwesomeGuide.com
Why does Mac have to be so damn complicated!!!! If I go to movies, it just opens all my movies. There is no "movies folder". I'll keep trying, but didn't work for me. But this is 4 yr's old. I think the updates have changed things.

Hi. I cant see any motion template folder in my fcpx. But this is also a trial verdion. Do you think the reason is because i have a trial version?

@@FinalCutProHelp I think it has something to do with the catalena update it doesn't support 32bit apps, do you know how to downgrade from catalena
It’s tricky to downgrade but search the web for “Downgrade macOS’ and you’ll find articles that people have written with steps. I have to done a downgrade recently so I don’t know what steps work but I do recommend having a backup.
Is it possible to store Motion templates on an external hard drive and "link" them to FCP?
I have not tested it with the updates released today but in my experience in the past there has not been a reliable way to link templates back.
@@FinalCutProHelp figured as much. Thanks!
You’re welcome. If you haven’t done so already, submit feedback to Apple to request that feature: www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html
