If you had to create the Motion Templates folder yourself, right click on the folder and Get Info. In the Name & Extension box, make sure it is: "Motion Templates.localized". For the Title Folder, do the same and verify it is "Titles.localized". Once the localized status is set up, you should see the Adjustment Layer appear in FCPX in the Titles Browser under the Adjustment category.


You do *not* need to localize any of the folders lower in the heirarchy than the Effects, Generators, Titles or Transitions folders.


BTW, in all likelihood, once you've established a ".localized" folder, that part of the folder name will simply disappear — it is generally hidden by default.

I am just following the advice of a YouTube tutorial (Will Chidlow). I downloaded the adjustment folder from his link. All the adjustment layers are the identical except for name. It just helps differentiate the different adjustments on the timeline since they are named according to use.


Adjustment Layer - general miscellaneous adjustments that other categories do not apply (e.g. something novel)

Correction Layer - colour adjustments etc.

Crop Layer - for applying zooms

Grade Layer - for applying Custom LUTS


They all show up when I click "Adjustments" and I can choose which one I prefer to drag to the timeline.


I think it was a good tip.

Okay - cool. Then the Adjustment Layer top folder actually just becomes a subcategory or "Theme" in the arrangement. You can find other examples of themes under other categories like Bumper/Opener — if you scroll down the list, you will find lines across the column and a label directly under like: Bulletin Board, Cinema, Comic Book, etc.


It wasn't always necessary to localize those top levels of folders and older tutorial videos will probably leave out that specific information.
