I just uploaded new Motion Template into FCPX.
I see a new category, that I have not seen before "Compositions" I don't see in my FCPX 10.3
Is that a new category that belongs to FCPX10.4?
Thanks,

Compositions are "Published Templates" but not published as a Final Cut Generator. They will not show up in Final Cut for use. If you have external attached drives, it makes little sense to publish Motion "projects". It's easier and better for your internal drive if you simply Save or Save As a regular Motion Project to an external location. All other types (Effects, Generators, Titles and Transitions) are automatically published to Final Cut (in your /User Motion Templates folder).
PS - if you do publish a composition, it will show up in the Open dialog in the left column under Compositions (inside the Category you chose to publish it under).
You can use Drop Zones in Motion just like you would in FCPX. However, what I like to do is dedicate a Group for specific graphics that I can just drop into it. You can stack as many as you like - only the top media shows. You can use the checkmarks to the left to turn layers on and off... etc. Motion is exceptionally versatile (and there is no one right way to do things 😉 ).
You are correct, just found out. So if I save as Motion Project, what do I use to edit and replace graphic and text, if its not showing in FCPX? Motion5?
My problem, that I am not using Motion enough. Need to take some tutorials. I used too many years ago when they had Live Type.
what is compositions folder in FCP X 10.3 motion templates?
