For a long time I've thought about how much easier it would be if there was a way to publish/unpublish multiple parameters and organize them in bulk inside Motion. With that in mind I built a tool that does this in a somewhat unusual but functional way. I'd call this a "Beta" version. In my tests everything works fine, but I want to hear from other editors and motion designers who work with Motion: what do you think about using this tool to speed up the workflow of projects where you need to publish and organize a lot of parameters for editing in Final Cut Pro?
Features:
Publish or remove multiple parameters at once directly from the app's list.
Creation of publishing presets for layer types.
Publishing entire collapsible parameter groups from Motion layers.
Bulk renaming and reordering of parameters.
Automatic creation of parameter "Separators."
Deletion of "Copy" text automatically created when duplicating layers in Motion.
Auto-detection of open projects in Motion.
One thing to watch out for when publishing parameters from the list: Motion should ideally be closed to avoid conflicts between versions. That said, in my tests, if you save the project in Motion before publishing/editing parameters in MotionPrep, everything seems to work fine.
I'm making it available to everyone for FREE, download below.

Note: I fixed some text-publishing bugs and improved the app's safety warnings. If you downloaded the old version (1.0), please download the new version (1.1) above. -- The demo video is pretty simple and just shows roughly how the tool works on the surface. I'll polish it later and put together a proper tutorial for the app.
Hope you find it useful. Feel free to send me feedback, and depending on how it's received I might put together a 2.0 version soon.
