This controls “HOW” your template should be applied. Does it work alone? Does it need to be applied to clips? Is it a text effect?

• Save to:
• File - The most basic version, this allows you to make your template a macro quickly addable in the fusion page.
• Title Template - The effect lives in your effects page, in the title folder.
• Generator Template - The effect lives in your edit page effects. AND (IMPORTANT) can be dragged onto the timeline.
• Effect Template - The effect lives in your edit page effects. AND (IMPORTANT) MUST be dragged onto a media clip already on your timeline.
• Transition Template - The effect lives in your edit page effects. AND (IMPORTANT) must be applied between two clips as a transition.

Here, you choose what controls are easily accessible in your template.

Here you can re-order and re-organise your controls.
