Chapter 11 Final Cut Pro X templates 413
4 Modify the project in Motion, then do one of the following:
•
To save a copy of the Final Cut Pro preset with the default name, choose File > Save.
•
To save a copy of the Final Cut Pro preset with a new name, choose File > Save As, complete
the save dialog information, then click Publish.
•
To save the updated Motion-created template and overwrite the original version, choose
File > Save.
•
To save the updated Motion-created template as a copy, choose File > Save As, complete the
save dialog information, then click Publish.
Note: When a preset Final Cut Pro transition 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
Final Cut Pro Timeline, any subsequent changes made in Motion to the template affect
instances of the transition in the Final Cut Pro Timeline.
The template is saved and appears in Transitions Browser in Final Cut Pro.
Example: Create a Prism Blur transition
This example demonstrates how to create an original, simple Final Cut Pro X transition in Motion.
Clip A dissolves into clip B with a prism blur effect.
Create a prism blur transition effect
1 Choose File > New (or press Command-N).
2 In the Project Browser, select Final Cut Transition, choose the project preset required for your
Final Cut project, set the Duration to 200 frames, then click Open.
Note: This example uses the Broadcast HD 720 preset.
The project opens and contains a single group with two placeholder layers: Transition A and
Transition B.
3 Optional: You can drag a still image from the File Browser to Transition A in the Layers list and
then drag a different still image to Transition B, releasing the mouse button when the pointer
changes to a curved arrow.
Doing so gives you a better view of the transition you are building.
Note: This example does not use any images.
When you play the project (press the Space bar), no transition is present by default. Transition A
ends, and transition B begins abruptly.
