After spending today getting a basic FxPlup up and running in the Motion/FCPX "environment" a couple of things jumped out:
1. there doesn't appear to be any way to edit point controls in FCPX interactively - all I see are type-in numbers and sliders. Is there a button or overlay I'm missing so I can just drag the point around?
Yes, there is. Make sure your footage is selected in the timeline, and that your effect is selected (by clicking on its title) in the inspector. Then you should get a round handle in the canvas (assuming the value of the point parameter's x and y are between 0 and 1, and you're zoomed all the way out).
Oh, I forgot to mention - you also need to check the "Publish OSC" checkbox. A point parameter is a type of OSC.
Aha - that's it. I figured OSC was for custom OSCs, not "built-in" ones
like point-controls. Makes sense from a certain point of view. But don't
you think publishing a point control should also publish its on-screen
representation automatically? Point controls without on-screen controls
are rather annoying.
