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.

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
