CANNOT FIND MOTION TEMPLATES IN FINDERPosted by slomoray
Hi,
I recently purchased Crumplepop's Tilt-Shift Effects for FCP and was instructed to find the codecs I need, from it's folder, and place it in: Library>Application Support>Final Cut Studio>Motion>Templates When I opened up the motion folder, I see a library folder but no template folder. In any case I dragged the codec to the motion folder and restarted the computer. After opening FCP I looked for the effect in Master Templates and it wasn't there. I figured as much. How can I find the template folder to put the codec in it's proper location. I hope this makes sense. I'm using FCP 6.0.6 Thanks for any help you can give me. Ray
Can't you just create the folder and put the files inside it?
My software: Pro Maintenance Tools - Tools to keep Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro running smoothly and fix problems when they arise Pro Media Tools - Edit QuickTime chapters and metadata, detect gamma shifts, edit markers, watch renders and more More tools...
You could have gone to the 'User' version of the folder, but if you had visual instructions this is unlikely. The thing is, there are two folders on your computer that are in a Library>Application Support>Final Cut Studio>Motion path.
The reason adding the folder helped is because that's the 'address' the application goes to to find your templates when it's looking for them. If the folder isn't there, as far as the app is concerned, it's just an empty lot. The reason you probably didn't have that folder is because you elected not to install the standard templates that come with Motion when you (or whoever) did the initial installation. So by adding the folder, you created the address for the application to visit.
