Modify Final Cut Pro effects in Motion
Many of the supplied video effects were created using Motion, an Apple app designed to
work with Final Cut Pro. You can open any of these effects in Motion, make modifications,
and save the changes as a new effect that appears in the Effects browser.
Important: To modify video effects in Motion, you must have Motion 5 installed on your
computer.
1. In Final Cut Pro, click the Effects button in the top-right corner of the timeline (or press
Command-5).
2. In the Effects browser, Control-click the effect you want to modify, then choose “Open a
copy in Motion.”
Motion opens and the effect’s project appears.
