I'm looking for title cards with holiday themes, snow, Christams trees, ornaments and the like. Where can I find these? A quick search online I found site that said they weren't compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
I went to rippletraining.com and after downloading got this error message...and yet I am unable to find any applications in the App store that meet my needs.
Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
uhm… well: FCPX is more targeted at the 'pro'… I dare to say, ready-mades are rare.
A quick picture-google.com search spits out tons of 'christmas garlands', 'christmas trees', christmas scenery'. Prep those pix in some pic-processor (I like Pixelmator), by adding transparencies… On YouTube there's lots of green-screened snow…
And Motion5 has its very own snow-flakes-generator! 😁
so, a garlande. a scenery, a bell, a title, a snow-generator… 3minutes..
aside the snow, you can do that with FCPX only too.
as mentioned above: there'is keyed snow at YT.
for your own, private use… just do it.

Okay, this seems out of my league! I was hoping for a ready made that I could download into FCPX. I don't have Pixelmator or Motion 5.
Thanks for the info!!!
Digital Juice has a huge library of canned materials that might suit you.

you haven't tried!
you managed to handle FCPX, a highly professional edit-tool. 😁
What I suggested, is just 'basics':
compose a few elements.
Get inspired by other videos you notice around.
To animate 'elements', use keyframes.
To apply 'overlays', green-screen/color-key is a basic procedure…
To prep stills, a designated pic-processor is of fundamental need… although, even MacOS built-in Preview.app allows creation of 'knock-outs'/transparency… in case, you're shy to invest a few $$ for Pixelmator.

It looks maybe complicated - it isn't!
Don't try it first time for some serious projcect… but creating your very own Xmas-scenery is a lot of fun… plus, you learn a lot about FCPX and its many hidden gems…

Final word:
Catch some nice, own pics with your cam! … snowy trees, 4 candles and some cookies, a frozen window, illuminations in the streets, that crazy neighbour with his 50.000Watts of garden decorations .... Just add a charming title - done. Simplicity rules! … 😉
Merry Chistmas! 🙂
in case, you still need a 'ready made':
