Create templates that automatically conform to the Final Cut Pro color space

1. In Motion, choose File > New from Project Browser (or press Option-Command-N).

2. In the Project Browser, click the type of template you want to create (Final Cut Effect, Final Cut Generator, Final Cut Transition, or Final Cut Title).

3. In the right column, click the Preset pop-up menu, then choose Custom.

4. Click the Color Processing pop-up menu, then choose Automatic.

   

5. Set any other custom properties (resolution, projection type, aspect ratio, frame rate, and so on).

   See Project Properties Inspector controls.

6. Click Open.

   A new, untitled Motion template project opens set to Automatic Color Processing (and the custom properties you specified).

1. In the Layers list of the Motion template, select the Project object (or press Command-J).

2. In the Properties Inspector, click the Color Processing pop-up menu, choose Automatic, then click OK.

   

   Note: Once set to Automatic, the project’s working color space is determined by the Render Color Space setting (in the View pull-down menu).

You can publish an HDR White Level slider to give editors control over adjusting the brightness of SDR elements—images or clips, or objects created in Motion (such as text, shapes, or replicators)—in an HDR HLG or HDR PQ Final Cut Pro project.

1. In the Layers list of the Motion template, select the Project object (or press Command-J).

2. In the Properties Inspector, click the Color Processing pop-up menu, choose Automatic, then click OK.

3. In the Properties Inspector, do one of the following:

   • Control-click HDR White Level, then choose Publish from the shortcut menu.

   • Move the pointer to the right of the HDR White Level slider, click the Animation pop-up menu (the down arrow), then choose Publish.

     

4. Save the template.

   Once the template is applied to the Final Cut Pro timeline, the HDR White Level slider is available in the effect, transition, title, or generator inspector.
