I have just done a clean install of Mountain Lion which necessitated reinstalling Motion 5.
In the supplemental download (was it Update 1.1?) I am sure it mentioned professionally produced templates but I can't seem to find them.
Was I mistaken?
Can anyone shed any light on this?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Little knowledge... many opinions.
Both v1.0 and v.1.1 added professional templates. See http://support.apple.com/downloads/#Motion%205.

I believe the templates were upgrades from Motion 4 Templates for Final Cut Pro 7 (they were: Atmospheric, Pulse, Snap, Splash, and Swarm.) The 1.1 update brought everything up to date for retina displays.
They are located in: Motion.app/<show package contents>/Contents/Templates/Compositions/
There is also other Library Content included with the update located in:
Motion.app/<show package contents>/Contents/LibraryContent/
Thanks both of you.
My next question was to havebeen whereI could find them in the Motion interface as there had been no mention of "Templates" but I noticed the names you quoted under "Compositions".
In my "install", Decode, Skyline, and Vine are located in:
/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro/Templates/Compositions/
However, those are three Motion 4 templates I customized for FCPX myself, so the installer might have done something a little different. There is also some other Library content in /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro/ . (Some people actually install custom templates in this path as well [you might also see folders for Effects, Generators, Titles and Transitions] but I think this location is supposed to be "reserved" for the time being).
Update mentioned pro designed templates?
