Empty Motion Templates Folder FCPX

You have to add the folders with correct names.

Inside the “Motion Templates” folder, create folders called “Titles”, “Effects”, “Transitions” and “Generators”.

If you dowloaded a title, it has to be put inside a category folder, inside the Titles folder. The category folder can be named anything that makes sense for you. This name will appear in FCP X.

Put the whole downloaded folder of your title inside the desired category folder.

The “Titles”, “Effects”, “Generators” and “Transitions” folders must be “localized”:

to do this, select each of these in the Finder, press command-I and in the Get Info window add .localized to the folder name. This extension is automatically hidden but must be present for FCP X to recognize them.

The category folders, and the folders containing the titles, transitions, etc themselves should NOT be “localized”.

So a typical path would be something like

/Users/yourname/Movies/Motion Templates/Titles/intro/mytitle

if your title is called “mytitle” and its category is “intro”.
