Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 326)

Locations of Template and Style Files
Template and style files are placed in different locations based on whether or not they
are project-exclusive. When you import template and style files, they are also copied to
these locations.
Custom Template and Style Files
When you save a template that is not specific to a project, it is placed at the root of your
disk, in this location: /Library/Application Support/DVD Studio Pro/Templates. All template
files have a “.dsptemplate” extension.
Style files are placed at the same location, in a Styles folder: /Library/Application
Support/DVD Studio Pro/Styles. All style files have a “.dspstyle” extension, regardless of
the type of style they are. To avoid confusion, be sure to indicate the style type when
naming your style.
Project Template and Style Files
When you save a project template or style, it is added to the project bundle file (the file
created when you save your project). Project templates and styles cannot be shared with
other projects or systems. If you want to share them, you can add a menu to your project,
apply the template or style to it, and then create a new template or style from the menu,
setting it so that it is not specific to the project. This creates a new template or style file
in the folders mentioned above.
Apple Template and Style Files
The Apple template and style files provided with DVD Studio Pro are at /Library/Application
Support/Final Cut Studio/DVD Studio Pro/. Because these are the same for all
DVD Studio Pro systems, there is no reason to copy these to another system.
Naming Buttons in Your Templates and Styles
If you create a template or layout style, you should follow a consistent button-naming
convention. This will allow you to apply different templates or styles, one after the other,
without having to reconfigure your buttons. For information on the button-naming
conventions used in DVD Studio Pro templates and layout styles, see
Applying Templates
or Layout Styles to a Menu with Buttons .
Importing Templates and Styles
You can import templates and styles from other systems. When you import a template
or style, it is copied to the same locations used when you create a custom or project
template or style. See
Locations of Template and Style Files for more information.
To import a template or style using the File menu
1 Choose either File > Import > Style or File > Import > Template.
