ISF For Motion Manual

Installing Shaders to use with Motion and FCP

Using ISF Shaders in Motion

ISF For Motion loads shaders from three folders to include in the library:

• “/Library/Graphics/ISF“ (typically used for shaders installed by apps – available to all applications and users on the system)
• “~/Library/Graphics/ISF” (typically used for user shaders – available to all applications on the system for the specified user account)
• “~/Movies/Motion ISF“ (shaders installed here will only be automatically detected by Motion)

Links to these directories can be found in the main interface for ISF for Motion for quick access.

Shaders installed in these directories will appear as Generators, Effects and Transitions in the Motion Library.

You can also get to these directories in the Finder by using the Go To Folder option in the Go menu. They can also be accessed easily from within the ISF Editor.

Creating Templates for Final Cut Pro

The ISF For Motion adds ISF shaders to the library in Motion as described in the previous question. These shaders can be included when using Motion to create generator / FX / transition templates for FCP.

FCP templates can be automatically generated by ISF for Motion. For more information see the ISF for Motion in FCP page.
