New Mini Mac & Missing FCPX titles and effects

Having just bought a Mini Mac and rigged it all up, I notice my Final Cut X has not transferred over my purchased titles and effects. Any tips on how to fix this?

Mac mini, macOS 15.5

If I purchased Final Cut Pro on my Mac mini, do I have to buy it again to use it on my Mac Studio? I finally upgraded from my mid 2010 Mac mini to an M2 Mac Studio. Instead of going through the process of carrying over everything from the Mac mini, I have started the Mac Studio completely fresh, and I'm moving data and files from the Mac mini over to the Mac Studio and will be sorting and deleting files as appropriate. However, I did about two dozen video projects in Final Cut Pro on the Mac mini, with all the files saved on external hard drives. I'd like to avoid having to pay $400 for the software again if I can. If anyone has done this sort of "upgrade" I'd love to hear about it, thank you!

How to prepare M4 Mac Mini for resale. I stupidly fell for the hype by YouTube affiliates and got rid of my old Win10 PC and bought a Mac Mini M4 for £599. Hopefully my post will not just get deleted and I may get some help as this is actually messing my head up. I didn't buy it from Apple, I got it from an online store so there was no way to send it back before 14 days had passed and I'd already tried it. I wanted to get rid of it originally because I don't like the fact the Close button doesn't work on MacOs, you can only play MP4 in Quicktime and you can't just try your music - it gets pinched into the Music app. Also, I have recently tried to move my music to a usb stick and it seems to add 10 blank files that my hifi has to rapidly jump through before playing any album. In short the OS is unusable to me and I hate it with a vengeance. If there is no way of losing most of my money can you at least tell me how to blank it off properly so I can sell it asap, thanks.

Can't relink clips in Final Cut Pro Hi, my client wants me to update an old project from 2016 and I'm having trouble with relinking the original clips. The project was shot on two cameras and one of them was 4K. In that time I was asked for an HD delivery and my Mac wasn't so powerful to edit 4K smoothly, so I had reencoded the 4K clips to HD. When I archived the project, I deleted the HD files and kept the 4K. Now the files are shown as missing, although the 4K files are available and have the same name. Final Cut keeps telling that it doesn't have the same properties (number of audio channels or media lenght, etc.) as the clip that was originally used. So, I tried relinking the original 4K files are they are not accepted, co I tried reencoding to ProRes 4K, ProRes HD and other formats and even that didn't work. So I'm stuck. Is there any was to force-relink the files? Thanks!

Did you migrate the users from your previous Mac? What Mac was it?

They should be in the Motion Templates folder inside the Movies folder of your old Mac.
