The thumbnails are overwritten by Motion 5 every time you save the template. You may want to provide better thumbnails, probably the same you are using for plug-in thumbnails in the FxPack. Most likely, you will not be happy with the default previews saved by Motion 5.

These are the thumbnails Final Cut Pro X will use to advertise your effects in its browser interface. The “Super Fun Filter” directory contains the Motion project as well as supporting files:Įach template has its own directory, which also contains two interesting files: large.png and small.png. ~/Movies/Motion Templates.localized/Effects.localized/ACME/Super Fun Filter ~/Movies/Motion Templates.localized/Titles.localized//Īssuming that you just built a Final Cut Effect named “Super Fun Filter” and saved it to the category “ACME”, Motion 5 will have saved it to the following location: ~/Movies/Motion Templates.localized/Transitions.localized// ~/Movies/Motion Templates.localized/Generators.localized// ~/Movies/Motion Templates.localized/Effects.localized// There are different sub-directories within the Motion Templates.localized 4) folder which contain Effects, Generators, Transitions and Titles: The above is the default location where Motion 5 saves all templates that you create. One is inside your home folder, thus accessible only to the current user: If your plug-in requires additional image inputs, read the Appendix at the end of this document on adding image inputs to a template.įinal Cut Pro X will load templates from two locations.

Unfortunately it is still not possible to publish Image Well parameters 3). Your plug-ins likely have this logic already implemented inside the Quartz composition 2).Īll recent versions of Final Cut Pro X support dynamic parameter UI (hidden or displayed based on the state of other parameters) as well as parameters with custom UI. Parameter Rigging is an excellent way to build a simple UI (a single parameter) that controls multiple parameters behind the scenes. It is largely useless for converting existing plug-ins to templates. Motion 5 introduces another feature called Parameter Rigging (menu command Add To Rig). context-sensitive parameters) is also absent from Final Cut Pro X, so you must publish only parameters that are visible and active by default. This means presets, custom parameters (banners, path choosers, file lists, etc.) cannot be made available to the user.ĭynamic parameter UI (a.k.a.

Hoping there is a solution.? (whenever i got to this point in my career w Avid, where i might jumpship they would come out with something to keep me. So question is - Is there anything like that out there? I know BCC and AvidFx are the goto for Avid.but a) they are overpriced and b) i don't see the templates that easy and quick to make in comparsion. Especially like the 'video wall' - that would come in handy especially in this new covid society editing multiple cell phone videos. Im not looking to jump ship.i have been using Avid for 20years now.but the templates have gotton so amazing and easy. It was dishearting though to see all the video templates are for FinalCut X. I just saw all the wonderful modern effect templates over at FxFactory website.
