Note: When a preset Final Cut Pro title is applied to the Final Cut Pro Timeline and then
modified in Motion, the saved changes do not affect instances of the template in the
Final Cut Pro Timeline. However, after the modified version of the preset is applied to the

instances of the title in the Final Cut Pro Timeline.
