permanently setting default motion blur amount
The default amount is way too high for my work and I always change it – is there a way to set it to something else more-or-less permanently?

Just set the blur amount you want and save it as a Favorite.

Sorry Walter I wasn’t clear … the motion blur in the Motion tab of a clip is currently set to a default 500 I need it preset to 90.

Walter’s right. It’s a bit of a trick though.
Put a slug in your timeline and give it the motion blur you want (90). Go to the modify menu and select the make favorite motion effect option (or hit option-f). You will notice in your favorites folder in the effects tab there will be a clip named Slug (motion). rename it Motion blur 90 or something like that. Double click the clip so it loads into the viewer. hit copy (apple-c). Select ALL of the clips in your timeline that you want to add the motion blur for and hit option-v (or select paste attributes from the edit menu). A dialog box will pop up, select the motion blur check box, & presto … motion blur on all of your selected clips.
Hope this is useful

Keep in mind that Favorite Effects and Motions are kept in your FCP Preferences. So if you trash your prefs (which you’ll need to do from time to time when you crash) you’ll lose any favorite effects.
Create an “effects” project and simply drag any favorites you want to keep permanently into that project. I do this with Color Correction filters for instance.

David don’t confuse the poor apple cow folk! 😉
I will say this – notice the response times on my queries this week. Several solid answers in under 30 minutes. Reminds me of the “Good Old Days”. Nice to be in another active cow-munity!
