  • “Master Templates” Path

    Posted by Jared Morgan on June 23, 2008 at 4:33 pm

    Does anyone know if it is possible to change the path of where FCP is looking for “Master Templates”? We are working in a networked environment and the goal would be to change the path to something that is shared and replace all of the templates that come pre loaded with FCP to ones that are relative to our network. Seems like a rather easy thing but I can’t find a preference for it. (I know you can do it in Motion) Perhaps there is a manual change that needs to be made to a config or preference file?

    Thoughts?

    FCP it self does not have templates, however you can change the location to one of your choosing ether at install or by changing the location in each of the apps that have templates and added content (motion, DVD Studio Pro, Live Type, and Soundtrack Pro) it is under the setting of each app. I have mine set to a my media drive to save space on my system drive.

    Oh and the studio install FAST if you don’t install the extras. I recently did an erase and install of my OS and just reinstalled just the studio apps and then just linked them to the templates and extra content on the media drive.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!
