Moving Presets Between Computers
Each preset you create is saved as a separate file. If you’ve created one or more custom
presets that you rely on, you may want to move them to other computers you use that
have Motion installed. All user-created presets are stored in the /Users/username/
Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Presets/Project folder.
To copy a project preset to another computer:
m
Copy your custom preset files to that computer’s /Users/username/Library/Application
Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Presets/Project folder.
