Several months ago a new site launched providing templates for FCP and Motion, the site is finalcutprotemplates.com, and there are several key differences between this site and other template providers;

–The templates focus on animated drop zones, without forcing you into a color scheme or background. This is critical because most templates are not time efficient to modify for an out of context use.

–The price tag is extremely reasonable and the sets come in large bundle’s.

–As often as practical they utilize behaviors to animate as opposed to keyframes, making it easy to understand and modify

I recently purchased Drop Zones Vol1 for use on some motion graphics projects (& perhaps a fall reel..) and have been extremely pleased with the results. There are a few extremely useful and unique templates (roladex and wallet photos) which really blow people away.

That said, no first generation product is complete without some requests.

• Full 1920×1080 Templates (easier to scale down than up..)
• Templates that involve serious use of the replicator (How cool would that be..)
• A static “cloud template” with 10 drop zones at various Z-depths for last minute 2.5D moves

The templates are HD720 (SD & DV too…) So before I replaced the drop zones I changed everything to 1080 and resized for my project (1080i60). I didn’t see any pixelation so I *believe* you can scale up in a non-destructive manor if you apply images after the scale.

Overall, a great product, highly recommended.
