Publish filter parameters and onscreen controls
When you create effects templates in Motion 5 for use in Final Cut Pro X, you can choose which
parameter controls are available in the special effect, title, transition, or generator when it is
applied to a clip in Final Cut Pro. For example, if you create a Final Cut effect template using
a Scrape filter, you can export the Rotation control to Final Cut Pro, but not the Amount or
Mix sliders. In essence, you place limits on how the effect can be modified in Final Cut Pro
by deciding which parameters to publish. It’s easy to publish specific filter controls, including
onscreen controls, in Final Cut templates. You do so via the Publish command in the Motion
Animation menu.
For more information on publishing and Final Cut Pro X templates, see
on page 385.
