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.
The parameter and its subparameter controls are published. When the template is applied to a
clip in Final Cut Pro, the compound parameter retains its state (collapsed or expanded) at the
time of publishing. If the result is not what you expected, click the disclosure triangle in the
Final Cut Pro Inspector to expand or collapse the subparameters manually.

In the item’s Inspector, click the compound parameter’s disclosure triangle to show

its subparameters.

For each parameter to publish, 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.
The subparameter is listed in the Published Parameters list.

Publish an on/off checkbox for a filter or behavior

Select the filter or behavior whose activation checkbox you want to publish.

In the Behaviors or Filters Inspector, do one of the following:

In the header row of the behavior or filter, click the Animation menu (the downward triangle
that appears when you place the pointer over the right side of the row), then choose Publish.

Control-click the behavior or filter name, then choose Publish from the shortcut menu.
Note: If you publish only the blue activation checkbox and no other parameters in the
behavior or filter’s group of controls, only the checkbox is published.
