Click Save.

A Motion project file is created, based on the template file of the clip. Text and video
parameters you modified in the Controls tab of the Viewer are incorporated directly into
the new Motion project file. The original template clip is replaced with a Motion project
clip that links to the new Motion project file. If you selected the Launch Motion option,
the new project opens in Motion.

Installing Motion Template Files for Use in Final Cut Pro

When you install Final Cut Studio, you can choose to install Motion template files in any
folder you want. By default, Motion template files are stored here:

• /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Templates/

When you create your own Motion template files for use as master templates in
Final Cut Pro, Motion saves them here:

• /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Templates/

Master templates are updated automatically each time you switch to Final Cut Pro; you
do not need to quit and reopen Final Cut Pro to see new master templates.

You can also install Motion template files on a local network to share them simultaneously
among multiple editing systems. The Motion template files should be installed here:

• /Network/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Templates/

For more information about sharing settings and files on a local network, see

“Audio/Video

Settings and Easy Setups.”

For information about creating template files in Motion, see the Motion User Manual,
available in Motion Help.
