Making Changes to a Master Template in Final Cut Pro
While working in Final Cut Pro, you can quickly make changes to template clips in
Motion by opening the master template in Motion. After you save the Motion template,
any changes you made appear immediately in Final Cut Pro.
Important: When you make changes to a master template, you are editing the master
template itself, and not template clips already in Final Cut Pro sequences. Any drop
zone media changes already made in template clips remain intact. Customized text
content remains the same, but updates made to the text font or style appear in
template clips.
