How to expose custom parameters to FCPX via Motion

I have created a custom parameter via the FxParameterCreationAPI and it shows up and works fine in motion.

I'd like to expose that parameter to Final Cut Pro using a motion effect template but, I can't select the "Publish parameter" menu entry like it's the case with standard parameter types. The same also happens for the OptionsDialog example in the FxPlug SDK.


Any hints on how I can achieve that?


Thanks.


Best,

Ray

To publish it, you need to right click on the parameter's name. That will display a context menu that will allow you to publish the parameter.

  • Motion limits the kinds of parameters that can be published to Final Cut. Perhaps the parameter can be added to the ‘publishSettings’ part of the Motion XML file.
