Use multiple rigs
You can create multiple rigs in a single project. Rigs can be organized to control sets of
parameters, and they can be grouped with the objects they affect. For example you can place a
rig inside the group that contains the parameters affected by the rig. That way you can navigate
to the relevant rig to control the specific, related elements.
Multiple rigs
Publish rigs
One of the most common reasons to employ rigs is to create a simplified set of controls for
template projects for use in Final Cut Pro X. This is achieved by publishing completed widgets
to the Publishing pane of the Project Inspector in Motion. To publish a rig, you must publish its
widgets individually. Widgets can be published like any other parameter in Motion.
