Gradient Default Color Stops

[Kent Searight]

Is there any way to choose the color of a color stop in the gradient part of Inspector prior to creating it? In other words, when I click on the gradient to create a color stop it gets created with what appears to be randomly chosen colors. I'd like to be able to control what the color stop's color is upon creation if I can.

Thanks in advance,

-Kent

No takers on this one? Ok, how about if I ask a different question?

When one creates a color stop on a gradient, how does FMP determine what the color of that color stop will be?

Hi Kent!!

It seems it defaults to the theme. If no theme, it defaults to the first theme when created - cool gray? It does not appear to work like setting the font where setting it while nothing is selected (because you can't select the gradient unless something is selected).

UPDATE: I just realized that Format Painter can be used to bring the gradient settings to another object. Otherwise it would be very difficult to replicate!

Not sure how I missed your first post, sorry about that - I would have answered.
