FCPX title/opener help to find

Okay - I converted the old Motion 4 template to make FCP Title templates for you here:

https://fcpxtemplates.com/sdm_downloads/pulse-for-fcpx/

The published parameters will let you re-colorize the design and you can color the text with one color - or if you want to customize text colors, turn off the Text Color Mix (down to 0%) and use the Text Inspector to set the Face Colors. For two of the templates that have a background, you can also colorize the Background and set their Opacities if you want to overlay the titles on the storyline content.

You will need to install these in:

/Users/<your "home" folder>/Movies/Motion Templates/Titles/<use "Pulse" as a category>/

For <use "Pulse" as a category> - you will need to create that folder inside the Titles folder.

Move the three folders: Pulse - Open, Pulse - Menu and Pulse - Lower Third into the Pulse folder you created.

IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME you've manually installed third party effects and you DON'T have a Motion Templates folder, you will need to create it. Inside Movies, add a New Folder and Name it: Motion Templates.localized

Note: once you type enter, the ".localized" extension is most likely to disappear!! Do NOT try to add it again!!! [You can check the name by right clicking the folder and selecting Get Info to check the folder's actual name.]

Then, inside Motion Templates, add a New Folder and name it: Titles.localized

New folders (categories) created inside Titles do not need to have the .localized extension!

HTH

That Motion *Project* if from Motion 4 and it's called "Pulse". If you have Motion 5, you can go to File > Open from project browser and search (at the bottom of the dialog) for "pulse" and you should see 3 projects - an "opener", a "lower third" and a basic title (although these compositions were not actually "Titles" in Motion 4.)

Once you open the projects in Motion 5, you can go to File > Convert Project To and change them to Titles for Final Cut Pro. Name them Pulse - Opener, etc. or use the Theme option to apply the kinds of Titles they are.

I have answered my own question . . . partially.

Pulse is hidden away in the Content/Template Media folder but it is a mere shadow of what I think I remember. There is merely one .mov file.

I seem to remember something more complex like the Splash-Ink Splats (FCP Titles) where the patten not only developed but spread downwards etc. I'm sure it used to be more complex.

It's been a lot of years now, but I seem to remember a short period of time when you could "Download Additional Content" and there was a selection of Motion 4 Compositions available (like Skyline and Vine) adapted to Final Cut Pro. I thought Splash, Pulse, Atmospheric, Mondrian and a few others were part of it.

Did you check /Movies/Motion Templates/Compositions/ ?

In FCP, in the Titles inspector: Bumper/Opener, I find the Splash - Ink Splats title. When I right click on it in, there is no Reveal in Finder option, only Open a Copy in Motion — this usually means the title is installed inside the FCP app itself.

If you don't find it, and if you still have a copy of Motion 4, you can find just about all of the templates that came with the app inside the app in:

Contents/Resources/Templates/Compositions/

Also check

Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Templates

(You might want to check this location first... I see Splash in there.)

Obviously, some of these locations will only available if you had Moton 4/Final Cut Studio installed at some point in the past.

However, you would definitely want the Final Cut Pro version if you have it as it already has published parameters:

Happy hunting! ;)

I used it many years ago and thought it might be from Motion so I opened Motion 5.8 but couldn't find it.

Even now you have reminded me it is called "Pulse" I cannot find it anywhere.

Is it still in Motion 5?

The only one resembling that is the "Ornate" title.

The one you show has never been part of FCP X.

It is vaguely familiar and may be from FCP 7 or Motion.

What is the title?
