Create Final Cut Pro X templates
A special set of templates in the Project Browser lets you create special effects, animated titles,
editing transitions, and graphics generators for use in Final Cut Pro X. Available in the Blank
category of the Project Browser sidebar, the Final Cut templates contain placeholders designed
to simplify customization.
When Motion 5 and Final Cut Pro X are installed on the same computer, saving a Final Cut
template in Motion sends the custom effect to Final Cut Pro X, where it can be applied to clips in
the editing Timeline. For more information, see
Final Cut Pro X templates overview on page 385.
Bypass the Project Browser
If you consistently create projects with a specific preset, template, or other starting project, you
can bypass the Project Browser. This way, when you create a project, it is opened in the Motion
workspace with the settings you established.
These settings are controlled in the Project pane of Motion Preferences.
