I am trying to create a template in Motion to send to FCPX. However, I am not able to get it to publish to FCPX. Every time I mark the box "Publish as Final Cut Generator", the "Publish" button is greyed out. What am I doing wrong?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
I can't copy and paste images from "grab" (as it is a tiff file and printing only has option to send via pdf) So I am unable at this time to give you a visual. I still need to add the automator for creating a jpeg via "print". Sorry!
FYI, I am putting a drop zone on the motion project. (I am trying to create credits, having the name show up and probably a still, but possibly video of the cast member of a musical). I don't want to redo this for each cast member, so was hoping to use a template/generator. I used a composition to start with. I wanted to build off that rather than start from scratch. Maybe that is what I did wrong. But, how do I start with that and work it to be a generator in FCPX?
I am using Motion 5.0.6. I created a project from the Atmospheric-0pen composition and added a Drop Zone. Then under file menu, I selected publish template and in the dialog window checked publish as final cut generator. The publish button was alive ok and the generator publishes ok. I can only suggest you trash your com.apple.motionapp.plist and com.apple.motionapp.LSSSharedFileList.plist in user library>preferences and see if that helps.
Publish a generator
