FCP - download “Additional Content”
The "Download Additional Content" in Finalcut Pro opens Software Update and the spinning wheel spins for days and brings nothing up … is there another way to download and install Additional FCP Content??

As Tom said, Smart Collections has nothing to do with Additional Content, apples to oranges.
When I do that, it opens System Settings > Software Update.
Attaching image of the Title Browser, which will not have the included templates if you haven't already downloaded the "additional content". Check for the title template category "Build In/Out" which is a collection included in the downloaded additional content. If you have it, you've done it. If it's missing, you need to download the templates for sure.
1, Verify what user name you're logged into on your Mac, and it matches what you've used in the App Store.
2, Hold down Opt and Cmd while launching FCPX and delete preferences.

Reboot the computer and try to download it again. Are you sure it's not already on the computer if you bought the application a few years ago? Perhaps you migrated the content from an earlier computer.
Did you purchase FCP or do you have the Trial version? I don't think Additional Content is available with the Trial.
How did you purchase 10.5.4? Did you ghost buy the current version on another computer?
Rebooting is not useful .. so the “smart collections” are empty .. and if the additional content is already “on the computer” how do I access it and see it in “Smart Collections” ?
I need help downloading "Additional Content" in FCP or find another way to download and install these Additional FCP Content .. again Software Update opens up when I click on”download new content” and keeps spinning forever bringing up nothing
Thank you this is very helpful and sorry I’m in FCP kindergarten despite having the app for a few years I am just starting to learn and use it recently to digitize and edit my old video tapes.
Thank you ALL for your help I’m sure I’ll have many more questions
These two, free tutorials are the recommended ones around here and can help you get up to speed quickly.

Izzy Video tutorials. Older so the UI looks different but the concepts are still correct. https://youtu.be/_jvyrnQpR1E?list=PLp5SAgbM8S87n1qvv34-PAU2zMHLlXyfb
I purchased it v10.5.4 without even trying a trial version .. macOS Big Sur 11.2
I bought it from the Apple Store like any other app on my iMac a few years ago
Additional Content isn’t in Smart Collections. Those are collections of your library content. See what you have in the Sound browser. Post a screenshot.
macProVideo.com has fantastic FCP tutorials, some of the best, also.
