motion 5 page curl filter won't work in FCPX

I opened Centered title from FCP in Motion then added text with an outline and drop shadow. Also placed an image behind text in center group. Finally added Page Curl within and at top of Centered group. Now this works perfectly in Motion 5 and when skimming the thumbnail in FCP's title media browser, but once it is placed in the FCP project itself, the page curl attribute does not work. I have been unable to find a reason (or reasons) why at this point.

Thanks!

It's likely you turned off the Animate parameter in the Page Curl filter.

Have you Published any of the Page Curl parameters to FCPX, like all but Mix? That will make the Page Curl effect completely customizable in FCPX, and, with Animate turned off, you can keyframe the effect "progress" via the Percent parameter.

Turning Animate off worked! Thank you.

Per your answer, publishing only the parameters I wanted did allow me to keyframe it in FCP with the same effects I'd orginally set up in Motion with Animate on. But, I'm still flummoxed as to why all my iterations with Animation on would not work in FCP.

It is likely obvious that I am a new user to Motion so your help has opened the whole area of "publishing" parameters for use in FCP for me. Thank you very much.

even with 10.2 update, this seems to be problematic. it works fine in Motion, bringing it over to FCPX loses the page curl animation. not sure why you'd have to publish all the parameters?
