Chapter 9 Using the Replicator 839
Saving Custom Replicators to the Library
Once you have created a replicator that makes you particularly happy, you can save it
as a replicator preset in the Replicator or Favorites category of the Library for future
use. Once you place a custom replicator in the Library, it can be used just like any other
replicator preset.
To save a custom replicator to the Library:
1 Open the Library and select either the Replicators, Favorites, or Favorites Menu
category.
2 From the Layers tab or Timeline layers list, drag the replicator you want to save into the
stack at the bottom of the Library.
Note: For organizational purposes, you may find it useful to create a new folder of your
own in the Favorites or Favorites Menu category to store your replicators.
When you save a replicator preset, it’s saved as a file in the /Users/username/Library/
Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Library/Replicators (or Favorites or
Favorites Menu) folder.
You can copy replicator presets you create from this location to give to other Motion
users, or you can add replicator presets that are given to you to this same folder.
Note: Whenever you copy a replicator preset file, you should make sure that you also
copy any graphics or movie files that it uses as well.
