    I have got some 3D templates. There are two files in a folder with extensions .HD and .png
    i want to add these templates to usual effects library of FCP, how do i do it?
    Is there any FCP specific folder where i need to copy these files?

    You need to make them a Motion Template and publish it to FCP. Know Motion 4?

    Not that I know of…

    You could create a sequence you keep in it’s own project file that you could use to copy and paste from I suppose, but it’s really not a true template like what you can do in Motion.
