But since FCPX exists these locations always had been there. If you haven't the templates too often you can move them to the described folders and replace them in your project.Īpple might change anything at any time - that's true. With you current setup you will need to copy the "Movies/Motion Template.localized" folder to the user which does't have access to the template(s). The folders will be created by FCPX upon first start.ĭo the same with templates from 3rd parties before you use them first time move them to the matching folders in the system library. To make templates work for for all users follow the instructions below.ĭon't save templates you create by your own with Motion in the suggested folder but in "/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro/Templates.localized/.". The Apple way is a kind of "for your eyes only" way. So projects even on the same machine can be incompatible between users.ĭon't follow the Apple rules (and those some 3rd party companies use) and use the hidden - but perfect -way. The system of Templates is totally user focused - so any user can have an own "template system". Once everything is in order, as soon as you bring FCPX to the "front", everything should be properly updated.Īll the things you tried were wasted time 😟Īpple build in some hurdles to use FCPX and Motion with more then one user (or across multiple machines) flawlessly 😢 You can also tell from the icons (Effects have a filmstrip, Generators have the Motion icon, Titles have a 'T' and Transitions have 2 inward pointing triangles ). The template's folder contents MUST contain a "large.png", "small.png", and a Media folder besides the template file*. Place the entire folder inside the Category folder. Create a category folder with a name that will help you remember the location of your templates.ģ) Do not separate the Motion template file from it's parent folder. In the Name & Extensions slot, add '.localized' if it doesn't already exist.Ģ) You have to add "Category" folders inside the main template type folders. Right click on those folders and Get Info. You don't need to restart FCPX after adding new templates if they were added correctly.ġ) Motion Templates and the Effects, Generators, Titles and Transitions folders need to be localized.
