I'm trying to figure out what edits I actually need to make the to the
.moef to get parameters unpublished.
In Motion I created a "template" template that has all of my parameters
published.
I've written a script that takes the "template" template and makes
multiple .moefs from it, varying the values to create presets from a
datafile (I don't want to hand-create 240+ FCP templates).
For some of my presets, I don't need some of the parameters, so I want
to unpublish them (by diddling the .moef).
I found three places in the .moef where an unpublished parameter would
"disappear" from after unpublishing it in Motion:
1. <publishSettings> contains a <target> entry for it with the "channel"
attribute set to the group/parameter id. I removed this.
2. <publishSettings> also contains a <parameter> entry for the parameter
with the published name and the "id" set to the creation index. I
removed this.
3. Later on ion the <scenenode> there is a <parameter> entry with the
name of "Published Folder", and nested in there is another <parameter>
entry also with the "id" by creation order. I removed this as well.
I compared my edited copy to one that I manually unpublished in Motion
and except for a few flags differences (I don't know why they were
different) they looked substantially the same to me.
However, when I started FCPX with my modified templates in place FCP
crashed. If I put back my deleted <parameter> and <target> entries
everything worked find, but of course the parameter was still published.
Any ideas as to what I am missing?
