Final Cut Pro “Apple Loops” folder missing in Finder, but actually exists

I was trying to locate the Final Cut Pro sound effects at:

/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Final Cut Pro Sound Effects

At first, when I navigated in Finder (⌘⇧G → /Library/Audio/), there was no Apple Loops folder at all.

However, after running this in Terminal:

sudo find / -name 'Apple Loops' 2>/dev/null

…the folder suddenly appeared in Finder under:

/Library/Audio/Apple Loops

and it contained all the expected subfolders and sound effect files.

So if anyone else is confused by missing Apple Loops, try searching with find and then opening the path with ⌘⇧G — it may already be there but hidden until accessed.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.5
