Installing 3rd party Plug In's for Final Cut Pro

I have read some threads in here but they are old (2017) on how to install install Plug In's/ Add On's into for Final Cut Pro to see them.

I went through the instruction provided from a link titles "Emply Motion Templates Folder FCPX", . I created a Motion Templates Folder, with Titles, Transitions, Effect, Generators etc... put the Transitions I purchased in the Transitions folder, Command i, localized file extension... all that. But it's not in FCX !!! frustrating. Should be simple to get an Add On into FCX. This is an Add On from a reputable site should work. At this point, no one has been able to help me. Not apple support , nobody. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love working in FCP with video editing, but Apple Macbook has been a royal pain in the but to do something which should be simple like adding 3rd party plug in's.

That won't work. Assuming Motion Templates and Transitions are correctly localized you still need a folder in Transitions to designate the category. It can be either an existing FCP category or one you make.



Here there are three custom categories and the transitions are inside them. The transitions are in folders because them have custom media.


The transition should not be localized.,nor the category. Only the first two folders, Motion Templates and Transitions should localized.

OK, greatly appreciated!!! I was just one folder away!! I also had to install once I created that last folder. Then it miraculously showed up in FCP LOL!! I am used to working with PC, but apple is completely different in how it thinks. Too bad you can't just drag & drop, but I am very grateful to get this in after 2 day's of frustration! I just want to edit. You were much more help than Apple's tech center!! I did Upvote. Thanks again.
