Share custom workspace layouts
You can easily copy custom workspace layouts to another computer or share them with
friends and colleagues.
1. In Final Cut Pro, save a custom workspace layout.
See Save custom workspace layouts, above.
2. Choose Window > Workspaces > Open Workspace Folder in Finder.
The Workspaces folder, with all the custom layouts you created, opens in the Finder.
3. In the Finder, select the custom layout files you want to share, then choose File >
Compress.
Note: Compressing the files prevents any change to custom layouts during transit.
4. Transfer the resulting ZIP file (with the filename extension .zip) to your friend or
colleague using email or another convenient method.
5. On the receiving Mac, double-click the ZIP file to decompress it.
6. In the Finder, hold down the Option key and choose Go > Library.
7. Drag the custom layout files to the following location in the Library folder:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro/Workspaces/

extension app.

it. For example, you might drag items from the extension window to an event in the
Libraries sidebar or to a project in the timeline.

To uninstall an extension, remove it from the Applications folder and reopen Final Cut Pro.
