Moving created effects from 'Installed Effects' to 'Timebrand' library

As the title says I need to move some effects I created from the "Installed Effects" section to the library I'm working on "Timebrand", I looked everywhere and found nothing


Thanks in advance

Where templates are stored is something that is determined on a library basis.

Select the library and open the Inspector.



In the Storage Locations section, click Modify Settings.

For Motion contents, choose "In Library". Only the templates (effects, transitions, titles, and generators) actually used in the library will be copied to it. .

Yes I did it to try, that setting was set to "Library" as soon as I created the library

I also tried to create another library from 0, and the problem persists


I think I know what is happening - probably...

If you use any built-in effects they will NOT be copied to the library.

Only third party effects (including ones you may have created yourself) are copied.


So try adding some third party effect and let us know.


It makes sense - there is no need to copy effects that are part of FCP itself, as they will be available in any mac.

No no, the BDI category is empty only when I select "Timebrand", I created these effects by modifying a clip with the instruments already present in final cut e dopo li ho fatti diventare un effetto premendo “Save Effects Preset” in the inspector pannel, what I want to do is make these effects visible only in the "Timebrand" section (For organizational reasons)
