7 Optional: When you’re satisfied with the custom title you’ve built, you can remove the preview
image from the template by selecting the Effect Source layer, then clicking the Clear button in
the Image Inspector.
The temporary image is removed and not saved to the template’s Media folder. For more
information, see
Template files and media save location on page 434.
8 Choose File > Save, then do the following:
a In the save dialog, enter a name for the template.
If you don’t specify a name, the template appears in the Final Cut Pro Titles Browser as “New
Template.”
b Choose a category from the Category pop-up menu.
You can also create a custom category. Categories appear in the Motion Project Browser and
the Final Cut Pro Titles Browser.
c If needed, choose a theme from the Theme pop-up menu.
You can also create themes. Themes appear in the Motion Project Browser and the
Final Cut Pro Themes Browser. A theme is a metadata tag that helps categorize templates. For
more information on Motion Project Browser themes and categories, see
About the Project
Browser on page 146.
d To retain unused media in the project (media or audio in the Media list that is not used in the
template), select “Include unused media.”
e If you want a preview movie to appear in the Motion Project Browser, select Save
Preview Movie.
9 Click Publish.
The template and remaining media are saved and exported to the Final Cut Pro Titles Browser.
If you did not remove the reference image, it appears in the template’s thumbnail in the
Final Cut Pro Titles Browser.
Create a title background
When a title template that contains a Title Background placeholder is added to the main
Timeline in Final Cut Pro X, the placeholder is ignored. To specify a background source clip in the
Final Cut Pro project, you can add a drop zone to the title template and then assign media to the
drop zone in Final Cut Pro.
Drop zones in templates allow Final Cut Pro users to place media into designated regions of
the applied effect. You can add filters, behaviors, animations, and other effects to drop zones in
Motion so those effects influence clips later added in Final Cut Pro. For more information on drop
zones, see
Drop zones overview on page 197.
Create a background for a title template
m In the Final Cut Title project, choose Object > New Drop Zone.
A drop zone layer (titled “Drop Zone”) appears in the layers list and Canvas.
When the title is added to a Final Cut Pro project, a Drop Zone image well appears in the
Final Cut Pro inspector. Using this image well, an editor can add a source clip that appears
beneath the titles. Using the drop zone’s onscreen controls (accessed by double-clicking the drop
zone in the Viewer), an editor can pan or scale the source clip within the drop zone. For more
information, refer to
