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

Im aware thats where they are stored. I had read that the color presets folder in "pro apps" is where you are suppose to place the downloaded presets for later use. I can't find a folder to put my downloaded presets.

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
