Chapter 11 Final Cut Pro X templates 422
Items not supported in Final Cut Pro
In general, Motion lets you publish most parameters in the application. However, some
publishable parameters are not supported in Final Cut Pro. The following items have components
that are not accessible after a template is added to a Final Cut Pro project:
•
Parameters related to text path onscreen controls
•
Mask or shape control points
•
Parameters with deselected activation checkboxes
•
The Histogram in the Levels color correction filter
•
Audio behavior parameters
Note: Audio files saved in a Motion template are not available in Final Cut Pro.
Publish parameters in templates
The following tasks describe how to publish parameters, compound parameters, rig controls, and
other template elements.
Publish a parameter in a template
1 In the effect, transition, title, or generator template, select the image layer, filter, or behavior
containing the parameter to publish.
2 In the selected item’s Inspector, do one of the following:
•
Click the parameter’s Animation menu (the downward triangle that appears when you place
the pointer over the right side of the parameter row), then choose Publish.
•
Control-click the parameter’s name, then choose Publish from the shortcut menu.
Publish a compound parameter (a parameter with nested subparameters)
1 In the template project, select the image layer or effects object containing the compound
parameter to publish.
2 Open the selected item’s Inspector.
To publish a compound parameter to Final Cut Pro in a collapsed state (its subparameters hidden
by a disclosure triangle), make sure the parameter’s disclosure triangle is closed.
To publish a compound parameter in an expanded state (disclosure triangle open and its
subparameters exposed), make sure the parameter’s disclosure triangle is open.
