The Save dialog appears.
Note: It is recommended that you create a new custom theme in which to save your
own templates.
2 If you want to create a new theme category for your template, click New Theme, type a
name in the New Theme dialog, then click Create.
3 In the Save dialog, type a name for the template.
4 In the Theme pop-up menu, choose a theme category in which to store your template.
5 Choose a template format from the Format pop-up menu.
6 If you want your template to play a preview when it appears in the Template Browser,
turn on Create QuickTime Preview.
7 Click Save.
Your new template is saved into the theme category you selected. Customized
templates are saved to /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/
Motion/Templates/, in a folder that corresponds to the name of the theme you’ve
selected.
If you wish to manually copy projects from one system to another, copy them to the
same location.
Important: Templates do not appear in the Final Cut Pro Template Browser unless the
templates are copied to a theme subfolder in /Users/username/Library/Application
Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Templates/.
When you save a template in Motion, the template immediately appears in the Master
Templates bin of the Final Cut Pro Effects tab, in a bin corresponding to the name of
the theme in which you saved the template in Motion.
Important: Only projects that are saved as templates appear as master templates in
Final Cut Pro.
