How can I import files to use across any project as a transition?

I purchased a bunch of Luma transition videos from Rocketstock (
www.rocketstock.com/video-packs/stanza-video-transitions
) to create cool transitions in FCPX. The problem is they are video files that to use them I have to copy the files into each event i want to use it with . Im looking for a way to be able to have a searchable library for all these different videos right within FCPX rather then having to constantly reimport them to every event. Basically i want to be able to pull them up in fcpx just like you would an effect or generator where its a whole organized library. Whats the best way to do that? I just tried out creating them as generators and that worked the hard part is keeping it organized. Right now Its organized in my movies folder at different frame rates/then different shapes/then different animations. I'm just wondering If anyone has a good thought on how to organize them or a better way to utilize the files.
After I import the files i have to drop them into the timeline as a connected clip, change the blend mode to stencil alpha/ silhouette alpha, the make them a compound clip, then put a video file underneath. Is there an easier way to use these? let me know. Thanks.

Welcome Jason to fcp.co 
… hmm, that company asks for a 100 bucks for what? The page you're linking to claims 'Transition pack' - so, I would expext'em in the Transitions tab in FCPX?
And why make alpha-animations into Generators … when they are intended to be used as transitions?
… a bit lost … :blink:
