Q: Can't select background in FCPX for Motion title
I created a title in Motion 5 and published all the parameters for properties and shape for a 50% opacity rounded rectangle background. I can select the text in FCPX but I can not select the rounded rectangle background. I did a generator of the same thing and could not select the background using that in FCPX either. How do I go about making both the text and background selectable in FCPX?
I'm slow to grasp video concepts, am brand new to using FCPX and have only used Motion for a couple of months for limited purposes so it is very likely I am missing something quite obvious.

... making plug-ins is more fun than cleaning my kitchen this morning ...
this is your plugin in action:
the tiny circle/OSC allows to stretch the box, in the Inspector the usual suspects of controls (color, outline, opacity, etc) and when you click the text and move the mouse, the box will follow.
DL from my googledrive >>click<<
un-zip and drag folder into ~Movies/Motion Templates/Titles ...
free to use, free to modify for your needs ...
Enjoy Movie Making!
