Why doesn't my FCP x 10.4.6 never show the new included adjustment layer ?

Question

Why doesn't my FCP x 10.4.6 never show the new included adjustment layer ?

Hey all,

this is a repeat question as I have not found any solution., please SOS.

I updated my FCP am now using FCPX 10.4.6 and am trying to add an adjustment layer but nothing I try has worked, I've downloaded numerous different adjustment layer files and placed them in the right folder Movies - Motion Templates - Titles restarted FCP to no avail, there is still no option for a custom adjustment layer,

Is there a little trick with the latest version that I haven't got the memo for? This is starting to get super annoying as its halted all my editing,

Thanks in advance

Three things, one, if you don't have Motion make sure Motion Templates and Titles have .localized as an extension to the name. Two, make sure there is a category folder between Titles and the effect. Three, post screenshots of the Motion Templates folder in column view and also what you see in the Titles browser.

Kind Thanks Luis,

yes it is localised...Both The Title and Transitions and Effects folder.

but I had a COREMELT folder of plugins as well...which I have moved out and it is looking good for FCP x.

So Kind thanks to Tom and yourself for your prompt response and helping me resolve this.

Select the Motion Templates folder and press Command-I.

Make sure that it has ".localized" after the name; if not, add it:

Repeat for the Effects, Titles, Transitions and Generators folders.

An adjustment layer is a Title.

Show us how an adjustment layer of yours appears in the Finder, in Column view, all the way from the Motion Templates.

Is that where CoreMelt installed the plugins? Don't use that as a storage location. You should not have Motion Templates inside Motion Templates. What's the rest of the structure?

Inside Movies
