So you have the library open and an event selected and you press cmd+i and it doesn’t give you the only open, selected library as an option?

But are those TCs or in’s and outs?

I forgot core melt. They make slicex, drivex, and trackx. Plugins that do things like track the front of a car and add objects, or blur, or colorize, etc.

Apple Motion is the $50 for life app that is comparable in many ways to Adobe After effects. It is what all those plugin effects are created with. If you want to learn how to create all those things yourself, then learn Apple Motion. Ripple Training is the best place. If you want to use those kinds of effects in FCPX, then purchase any number of FX from video hive, FXfactory, MotionVFX, MotionMasterTemplates, LenoFX, and of course BretFX.

There may be something similar in the titles browser, but the best way would be to learn Motion and create your own title plugin template there. But, in the meantime check out some of the great titles from https://LenoFX.com or MotionVFX

I don’t doubt it. Align to was pretty wack before 10.4. I tried to use it in a plugin (still unreleased) to do what you’re saying but I’m sure they were in different groups. But the problem I had was the performance. If you mixed align to with some link behaviors it would bring FCPX to its knees and possibly beachball forever. Totally fixed in 10.4. I just released Power Guides, a plugin to add rulers and guides, grid, film zones, safe zones, center crops etc and I used align to to align the XY nunber readouts to a rectangle that was aligned to Guides that are controlled by on screen controls and its error free and performs great. https://bretfx.com/power-guides so all seems fixed except for this new group issue. Good to know!

I’ve done a lot of align to work and found a number of oddities, especially performance wise, but never this one you speak of. Perhaps I got lucky.

But it really sounded more like you were putting gfx in the timeline based on a motion template and then editing the template in Motion, and then adding more instances of the template to the timeline. This would potentially exhibit this behavior. All the ones in the timeline are cached in in memory and unaffected by the changes to the master template UNTIL export as exporting refers back to the original and doesn’t rely on the cache, OR until you relaunch the app and the timeline versions are re-cached.

Many get confused and think that once they’re in the timeline, that those instances are locked and changes to the template won’t affect them but they’re completely affected. Just not until you reboot FCP. But new instances are affected immediately by any changes made to the template in motion and only require a refresh of the browser by clicking to a different category and back. Once I figured out the rules I quit getting gfx that were messed up on relaunch the next day, etc.

SliceX and TrackX are still the defecto standards. Coremelt is extremely active around the net and FB forums. Their whole website was given a full overhaul less than a year ago. They just released a huge update for their new color grading plugin. They just released updates to make their plugs high sierra compatible, including their old old plugins from legacy days too I believe. They’re about as solid and active as a plugin company gets. I don’t think you’ll see many companies updating demo reels for plugins because the plugins need to be backward compatible with all previous instances of the effect or title, so you’re not going to see sweeping changes after they’re released. Just updates for OS or FCPX changes that might break functionality.
