Re: Point controls, parameter groups, and templates (oh my!)
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: Pro-apps-dev@lists.apple.com User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20110624 Thunderbird/5.0 2. I can't publish groups to FCPX. This makes it kind of confusing if I have a slider called "Amount" in the "Blur" group - it only shows up as Amount. Amount for what? This is likely to confuse users. But I hesitate to rename the slider as "Blur Amount" though since the "Blur" is redundant back in Motion (and FCP 7), where it sits happily inside the Blur group. I realize having groups of parameters may also confuse users, but having overly verbose parameter names could annoy other users (and me). I remember back when earlier FCP versions didn't have groups and I had to prefix everything with the group names. But now FCP 7 (and Motion) support them and I'll have to add a bunch of messy code to make it work both ways. Oooo, nice to know - thanks Paul & Darrin! _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

No suggestions other than what you've mentioned above. I think others have filed bugs against this, but I suggest you do, too. I realize this isn't what you're asking for, but you can give the parameter a different name when you publish it. Double-click on the parameter name in the Projects "Published Parameters" tab in Motion. You can also drag-reorder the parameters in the Published tab, to give you more control over how the parameters appear in FCPX. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
