Combining a slider, checkbox, and pop-up rig – part 1
In the next exercise, we'll begin to create a complex rig that allows the FCP X user choices over a simulated lighting effect.
Getting ready
From the exercise files of this chapter, locate the 11_07 project folder. Drag the content of the folder to the Effects folder by navigating to Movies | Motion templates from under your user on the computer. Double-click on the .moef project from this location. Press the Space bar to play back the project. It consists of a still photo that has a light interacting with it. Two properties of the light have parameter behaviors applied to them; Intensity and Position. Turn each behavior on the Light on and off to see its effect. We want to link a few parameters from each of these behaviors to a slider so the FCP X user can control how much the light changes intensity and moves simultaneously.
How to do it...
Let's add some of our behavior parameters to a rig.
Select the Light in the Layers tab and press...
