For #4, it seems that in order for a parameter to allow vertical editing in the curve editor in FCPX, it needs to be rigged and the rig’s slider needs to go from 0 to 100. Otherwise, it will just allow you to edit the time of the keyframes. So you can do the following in your Motion Template:
1) Open the inspector for your plug-in 2) Click on the pop-up menu for the parameter you want the user to be able to edit using the curve editor in FCPX 3) Click “Add to Rig” and select “Create New Rig” and then “Add to New Slider” 4) This will create a new Rig in your Motion Template named “Slider” which by default goes from 0 to 100 5) You can rename the Rig by Double-clicking on the name “Slider” in the layer list and entering a new name
Now when you add the generator to the timeline in FCPX and bring up the curve editor, you can select the Rigged Slider as the parameter to show and you’ll see the disclosure triangle on the right side. Click it and it should expand to allow editing both the value and time of the parameter.
Ok, that kinda works. But only for the first parameter. I have four parameters to publish. What is strange, it always works for the first to publish. When I add more than one, the first one still shows the expand button when I select it. But the others show only the point in time, but no curve. All four parameters are identical, value 0..100. It makes no difference, if I add them to the same Rig or if I create a new Rig for each slider. Can you or the Developers please check if you can add more than one sliders as curves? Otherwise I should probably file a bug for that. Small extra question, is there a way to reorder the parameters? They appear in opposite order of creation in motion, but they end up in random order in the HUD in FCPX.
