Modifying Motion Template XML
by Jarred Buck on Mar 29, 2010 at 8:48:04 pm

Hi there. My question relates to Motion Templates and how they are published to Final Cut Pro.

Does anyone know how to modify the XML of a custom template so that it includes different editable parameters when opened in FCP? I'm trying to include an option to modify line spacing for text.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Very timely. Just did a MacBreak Studio on exactly this subject:

Thanks Mark! That worked like a (somewhat hack-y) charm.

I swear, Patrick is a witch. That's one of those things where you hit yourself on the head and wonder, "Why didn't I think of that?"
