• The onscreen path for the Motion Path behavior. (Parameters can be published that
allow editing of the path in the Final Cut Inspector, but the path does not appear in
the Final Cut Pro Viewer.)
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
To 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.
To 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.
