Changing colors of bubble machine generator

There is another easier option if all you want is a different color bubble: apply a color correction filter to the original blue bubble.

Select the bubble, click on Library->Filters->Color Correction, choose e.g. Colorize and change the color of the bubble. You may also be able to export this so you can manipulate it later in FCP X.

Edit: I tested and it works, keyframable and all!

Where did you get this generator? This is not one of the generators that come with FCP X. If this is a free generator I'll be glad to try it out and see how it goes.

Thanks Luis.

I was going to say that might be it :-)

The emitter has a source media that is by default an image of a blue bubble.

I don't know where you are changing the color, but the actual image being the same I imagine this won't work just like that.

One has the ability to select any other image as source, or even using a drop zone.

Select the Emitter in the layer list, and in the Inspector click on "Emitter". There is a "Particle source" parameter. You can add the desired image somewhere into your Motion project, turn it off so it won't appear by itself and drag it over "Particle source". See the image below.
