how do i add downloaded color presets? Color presets folder not found in "pro apps" folder

I know this is a very late reply, but I had the same question - and after research I have the answer!

You're looking in the wrong library. What you need to do is go to spotlight search and type in ~/library and click the top hit.

Then it's Application Support/ProApps/Effects Presets 🙂 hope this helps someone!

That's where the custom presets are stored – the ones you create and save,

Point us to the downloadable presets you're referring to.

Sorry. I don't know what that is. Perhaps someone else can chime in.

That's the location on your system, isn't it? I think Russ meant where did you get them.

Your location is correct. home/library/Application Support/ProApps/Color Presets. The Color Presets folder only appears if you've made a color preset in FCP. If you haven't made one, just make a folder with that name, Color Presets, nothing else, in the correct location. The presets are called Name.board and have an icon like this

Thank you so much for this! It helped me!!

I don't even have Effects Presets folder. Even I created myself but it still doesn't work.

This thread was about color presets and got conflated to something else. What are you talking about, and what location exactly are you talking about?
