Be the boss of your templates!

Boomer-friendly

Are you a boomer like me? FCPTM guides you through the setup process. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy! You can also adjust the size of the thumbnails and text in the main viewer!

Fast browsing

Quickly search and filter across thousands of installed templates. Seriously. FCP is really slow at this.

Favorites

Copy your go-to templates to organized favorites folders so they're always at the top of Final Cut Pro.

Library & Project Scanning

This is rad. Scan your library and projects for used templates, then filter for easier favoriting and archiving.

Tags

Add custom tags to your templates. Filter your library your way. Yay!

Themes

Organize templates within their categories by creating or changing their groupings.

Archive & restore

Archive templates you don't need right now. Restore them whenever you want — nothing is deleted. Unless YOU delete them. Then that's your fault.

Open in Motion

Jump straight to Motion to customize any template with a single click... Well... after right-clicking. And if you have it installed. Details.

Template matching

Automatically links favorites back to their source templates using CRC checksums. Detect duplicates, stale copies, and update easily.

The Installifier

Drop folders or zip files onto the sidebar to install third-party template packs. Deep-scans nested zips, auto-organizes into the right FCP folders, and lets you organize and install selectively.

Video Preview Viewer/Generator

Watch video previews of templates in the app (for those that have them). And if they don't, generate them in the app. (Apple Compressor required).

...and more!

Rename, move categories, and find and fix templates that were installed to the wrong type directories.

FCP Template Manager is free, and always will be. I remember the financial hurdles of getting started, and I'd rather give this away than add another expense to your creative journey. If it saves you time and you're in a position to contribute, I'd genuinely appreciate it. Even better: pay it forward and help someone else in our community.
