<p>I'm creating a video for my son's fifth grade class that has a large number of interview clips. In each interview, I want to show a split-screen effect with a still photo on one side and a video of the interview on the other side. I have worked out the effect I want with some transitions, a title, cropping and a couple of key frames.</p>

<p>But I want to reuse this sequence across interviews for over 100 kids. Is there a way to create a template or a combined sequence that I can then copy-paste and then replace the source photo and video?</p>

<p>I apologize if I'm not using the right terminology, but I'm new to FCPX (and video production in general).</p>

This is stab in the dark. I don't use FCPX but I do use Vegas Pro, in Vegas after you alter a default effect you can save it. E.G. while doing a split screen for showing an A/B comparison I save the "cookie cutter" option I had altered as an effect I could use again. Do you see any icon in the effect function suggesting it can be saved?

@filzilla Thanks. That put me on the right track but with FCPX you can't create effects. That's what Motion is for. So now I created the same sequence as an FCPX Effect in Motion and published it to FCPX where I can use it multiple times.

Use **"Total Adjustment"** it works like a photshop-layer. You simply can duplicate it for reuse with other clips.

How to: Install [Total Adjustment](http://rgbhouse.com/?p=74). Open the effect-library in Final Cut Pro X. Select the titles. Drag the "Total Adjustment"-title to your project. Copy all effects you need to this title-clip. Place it above a new videoclip. Every video-clip that's under this kind of "layer"-clip will be affected of its effects and adjustments.
