Animation and Timing in Templates

Effect, title, transition, and generator templates can include animation like a standard
Motion project. When the template is added to a clip in Final Cut Pro X, animation in the
placeholder is applied to the clip, whether created by behaviors or keyframes.

Animation in the template that is longer than the duration of the clip to which it’s applied
in Final Cut Pro is scaled to fit.

Important:

If you don’t want your template animation scaled to fit the duration of the

clip it is applied to in Final Cut Pro X, you can use markers to designate segments where
the animation is locked. Additionally, you can use markers to designate sections where
animation loops indefinitely in the Final Cut Pro project. For more information, see
