Filter Motion content stored in a library
If you add custom Motion content—effects, transitions, titles, or generators—to your
project and store it in the library, the items may not appear in the Final Cut Pro media
browsers (the browser, the Effects browser, and the Transitions browser). By default, the
media browsers are set to show the effects, transitions, titles, and generators that came
with Final Cut Pro, and any custom Motion content that is stored in the Motion Templates
folder located in your Movies folder. However, you can use the Filter pop-up menu to show
Motion content stored in a particular library.
1. In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
• Filter titles and generators: To show titles and generators in the browser, click
the Titles and Generators button in the top-left corner of the Final Cut Pro window,
or choose Window > Go To > Titles and Generators (or press Option-Command-1).
• Filter effects: To open the Effects browser, click the Effects button in the top-right
corner of the timeline (or press Command-5).
• Filter transitions: To open the Transitions browser, click the Transitions button in the
top-right corner of the timeline (or press Control-Command-5).
