You can also create themes. Themes appear in the Motion Project Browser and the
Final Cut Pro Themes Browser. A theme is a metadata tag that helps categorize

see The Project Browser.

in the template), select “Include unused media.”

can be easily modified. For more information transition duration, see Final Cut Transition.
Creating a Generator for Final Cut Pro X
Use the Final Cut Generator template to create a custom generator for use in
Final Cut Pro X. A generator template is similar to a standard Motion project. However,
when saved, it is exported to the Generators Browser in Final Cut Pro.
Like any content added to a Final Cut Pro project, a generator template can be composited
over a clip in the Final Cut Pro Timeline, or added to the main Timeline. The duration of
the generator in Final Cut Pro is determined by its duration when created and saved in
Motion.
For detailed information on the Project Browser, see The Project Browser. For information
on working with generators in Final Cut Pro X, see Final Cut Pro X Help.
To create a generator template
1 In Motion, choose File > New From Project Browser (or press Command-Option-N).
The Project Browser appears.
2 In the Project Browser, click Final Cut Generator, then choose a project size from the
Preset pop-up menu.
Important: Be sure to create the template at the highest resolution you will use in your
Final Cut Pro project.
3 Click Open (or press Return).
