I have created a title in Motion on mydesktip and saved it into fcp = but when I disconnected the XHD and went to play the fcp library on another computer which does not have Motion but does have fcp - we could see the full edit but not the title.
Is there a way I can save this title into fop that it is independent of Motion so I can play it on any computer that does not have motion.

The published title has to be stored in ~/Movies/Motion Templates/Titles. When you publish it on your computer that's where it goes. Copy it from there to the other machine.

Thanks so much for all your help.
Finally the project is complete - If you had some time would you be interested in critiquing it - it is only 7.5min long.
I would love a professional editor to cast his eyes over my work to see how I fair in the world of editing.
Here is the link:

Plus attached is a screen grab of my time line - I'm concerned that I am over complicated or does most edits look this complicated?

Piano was the first instrument I learned, back when I was 5 years old. That was great. Moved along quite well, good pacing. To me personally, super interesting since I have intense interest in both piano and Ireland. Good job! Bravo!

I'd just offer to tiny bits of advice for future projects. "Tripod Always" and "Optical Flow".

Thanks for review... I only shot 2 of the interviews, with Rhona and Archie and some of the Dublin Establishing shots - Archie and his student shot the rest. But I did try steady out the shots using the stabilisation in fcpX - is that what you mean when you said use "optical flow" ?
I found the stabilisation made the shot shudder in a weird kinda way so I decided to just go with the camera shake... Please tell me more about optical flow.

You can't tell the application where to look for the titles. They must be in the exact location I said. You copy the title folder t the external drive to carry it to the other machine. You then have to move the title into the correct location in the home Movies folder before launching the application.
