Publish Motion filter parameters to Final Cut Pro

When you create effects templates in Motion 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’s applied to a clip in Final Cut Pro. For example, if you create a Final Cut effect template using a Scrape filter, you might choose to export only the Rotation control to Final Cut Pro (and 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. You can also publish filter onscreen controls.

For more information on publishing Final Cut Pro X templates, see Intro to Final Cut Pro templates in Motion.

Publish filter parameters in a Final Cut template

In Motion, in an open Final Cut template project, select an applied filter.
In the Filters Inspector, do one of the following:
- Click the Animation menu (the down arrow that appears when you move the pointer over the right side of the parameter row), then choose Publish from the pop-up menu.
- Control-click the parameter name, then choose Publish from the shortcut menu.
  Important: Choosing Publish in the filter name row (the row containing the activation checkbox) publishes the filter’s activation checkbox—but not parameter controls for the filter (sliders, dials, and so on). Publishing a filter’s checkbox lets you turn on or off all published parameters simultaneously in Final Cut Pro X.

Publish a filter’s onscreen controls

In Motion, in an open Final Cut template project, select an applied filter.
In the Filters Inspector, select the Publish OSC checkbox.

Review parameters set to be published in your template

In the Layers list in Motion, click the Project object (at the top of the list).
In the Project Inspector, click Publishing.
All parameters (for all object types) set to be published appear in the Publishing pane.
Note: Published filter onscreen controls do not appear in the Publishing pane.

Unpublish filter parameters in the Filters Inspector

In the Filters Inspector in Motion, do one of the following:
- Click the Animation menu (the down arrow that appears when you move the pointer over the right side of the parameter row), then choose Unpublish from the pop-up menu.
- Control-click the parameter name, then choose Unpublish from the shortcut menu.

Unpublish filter parameters in the Publishing pane

In the Layers list in Motion, click the Project object.
In the Project Inspector, click Publishing, then do one of the following:
- Click the Animation menu (the down arrow that appears when you move the pointer over the right side of the parameter row), then choose Unpublish from the pop-up menu.
- Control-click the parameter name, then choose Unpublish from the shortcut menu.
