What is an alternative to bins? Sometimes I want to make custom transitions and I need a place to store them for easy use.
Final Cut Pro X
Yeah FCP X works completely differently from FCP 7 in that respect. You don't drag custom transitions into bins. You make custom transitions in Motion and they will appear in your Transitions folder area. For all other bin-like functions such as organization, you use Events. I highly recommend springing for one of the tutorial videos out there- such as Steve Martin's which can help you get up to speed with new workflows.
That does answer my question thanks, but are they serious, so I have to basicall have motion running at the same time not to mention all the other software , but im going to check out Steve Martin right now. Thanks
Either projects or events. You can make a compound clip in a event used to hold favorites. Add a couple of generator items to it and apply the custom transition. You can copy and paste from the compound clip to any project. Hold everything you want into the one event. It probably won't ever get very big, and the render files can be dumped at any time. You can simply move the event from machine to machine or place to place as needed, just as you can other custom content, like keyboard layouts and custom color presets.
Motion does not have to be running. If the custom effect is published it will appear in FCP immediately.
