Motion Template folder disconnects after the update

I used the subtitle file for my FCPX old version as it works. it was stored in motion template folder but once it is updated, t just doesn`t work at all. Even it doesn't show in the Titles menu.

Any suggestions how to fix this?



Thanks

Hi David,

Can you give some more information?

- Which template is this exactly?
- When you open the Motion Template folder do you see the template inside this folder?

-Ronny

This is the plugin I am talking about:

www.fcp.co/forum/9-free-fcpx-plugins-and...-tky-subtitle-banner

And I do see the folder in the Motion Template...

Hope there's a solution.

Okay, I have downloaded the effect and it seems to work here.

Open your FCPX Titles browser, select All and scroll down until you see "TKY Subtitler Effect" (see screenshot).



If you don't find this template in your Titles browser: quit FCPX, delete the TKY Subtitler Effect folder inside your Motion Templates folder, download it again from the link and put it back inside your Motion Templates folder. This should work.

I have tried that, it made no difference. Perhaps i put it in wrong folder....

It is in /Users/EUDEdit/Movies/Motion Templates

Is that correct?

My bad. You should put it in /Users/EUDEdit/Movies/Motion Templates/Titles

You have sub folders of Compositions, Effects etc...whist my folder was just Motion Template and pretty much empty as I just created Titles as you can see the attached...It didn't work either.

I tried this on two macs and didn't work.

Aha, I see. Have you by any chance created a new user after updating FCPX? Anyway, this can be solved.

Andreas Kiel has developed a little tool that will re-create the correct folder structure for FCPX Motion Templates on your hard drive. You can download it here:

www.spherico.com/filmtools/xTemplateStru...emplateStructure.dmg

Just follow the instructions and in two clicks you will have the appropriate folders on your system.

Once you have these folders you can drag the Subtitler template into the Motion templates >Titles folder and it should appear in FCPX.

If this still doesn't work Andreas has also created a brilliant utility called Motion Template Tool that will correctly install any free Motion Templates for you. You can download it here:

www.spherico.com/filmtools/MTT/index.html

Read the instructions, download the installer, drag the application icon into your Applications folder and use this app to correctly install any free templates. And if you have any questions Andreas is regularly on this forum.

As for what Ronny said: I works and it works well.

The last link finally triggered the effect to work! Many thanks!!! Now i can return to work!

Love this pluggin

It is happening again. Those template folders wouldn't work at all on Version 10.2.3.

The actual folder is at Motion Template via User/Movies/Motion Template

That's it. I couldn't figure it out, I really need this to work, I have used the subtitles effect almost every day. Is there something I can rely without facing the problem every time FCPX get updated.

Hope you can help me out.

Hi ! I've download the filter, and in fact placed where Simon says it does not appear in FCP and can not be opened in motion. I solved the problem by double-clicking on filter so it is opened in Motion then click on save and the program. He told me that having been done with an old version and would be unable to be opened with previous versions. So the problem is incompatibility. The new version appears in FCP under titles/custom/TKY Subtitler Effect.
In attachment the new version

Hi,

Simon created this template many many years ago with Motion.
So there is no reason it shouldn't work in an actual version of FCPX.

The path to it is the way to search.
If you can read "/Users/EUDEdit/Movies/Motion Templates" in Finder it doesn't mean that is the real path - it's the path displayed in Finder.

Take an XML and look for the real path there.

If you need more help drop me an email - kiel (at) spherico (dot) com.

It is now working Especially the new zip file.

Thanks so much

What was the fix to your problem?

I did the process again with MTT (Motion Template Tool) with the new zip file. It just worked perfectly.
