Where do I find this Plugin Inside FCPX? 

.

.

Are the presets located in the Titles and Effects libraries the same?

.

Yes, the presets are the same. The only difference is personal preference. The presets in the Titles library will be applied directly over the clip in the timeline while the presets in the Effects library are meant to be dragged directly onto the clip in the timeline.

 

Can I use the tracker on an external monitor?.

No, the tracker should always be on the main screen of your iMac or Laptop.
