Yes. A Help file with a link to the tutorial video is included in each product that you purchase.
After downloading the product, simply unzip it, and the Help file can be easily found in the unzipped folder.
2. I don't have the "Motion Templates" folder on my computer. What should I do to install Simple Video Making templates?
If you don't have "Motion Templates" folder, don't panic! You can always create one. Once created, right click on the folder and select Get Info. In the Name & Extensions section, make sure it reads: "Motion Templates.localized" (without the quotes). The case sensitive spelling (including spaces) is very important.
Then inside the Motion Templates folder, create four other folders named: Titles, Generators, Effects, and Transitions. Do the same as the Motion Templates folder - go into Get Info and make sure their extensions are .localized.
Please note that there is no need to add the .localize extensions to the "Finder" folder itself.
3. After I installed the templates and opened FCPX, why did I only see a "Missing Files" warning?
This might happen due to 2 reasons:
Reason 1: The templates are placed in the wrong folder. Make sure to double-check the tutorial video to see where the templates should be installed.
Reason 2: You are using an incompatible version of FCPX. Please make sure that your FCPX is compatible with the required version. Information about compatibility can be found in the product description. To solve the problem, simply update your FCPX and the template will work perfectly.
4. When I add a video to a drop zone, my video becomes a frozen or still image. Why does this happen?
A drop zone in Final Cut Pro X is a graphics placeholder where you can add an image or video from your library.
When you add a video to a drop zone in a template and it becomes a still image, it is because the duration of the clip you selected is shorter than that of the template.
5. The duration of my video is even longer than that of your template. Why do I still get the still image when adding my video to the dropzone?
It's because the part of the video that you selected to add to the drop zone is not long enough.
Please check out this tutorial video and follow the steps closely to add a part of your video to a dropzone properly:
