    I just spent way too much time on this so I thought I'd share my solution.

    I was unable to get the output modifier to evaluate the contents of my placeholders from MIGX. I tried caching the placeholders in various combination to no effect.

    [[!getImageList?
    &tvname=`grid-content`
    &tpl=`@CODE:

    <div class="oneThird grid [[+yellow-background]]">
        [[+grid-copy]]
        [[+grid-video:notempty=`
          <div class="video-wrapper">
            <div class="video-container">[[+grid-video]]</div>
          </div>
        `]]
    </div>
  `]]


    Finally I moved the @CODE: into a chunk and called it like this:

    [[!getImageList?
    &tvname=`grid-content`
    &tpl=`content-grid-migx-tpl`]]


    Now my output modifiers are working correctly.

      Inline tpl code should be reserved for small, simple tpls. A snippet's properties aren't parsed in the same way as everything else, so MODX tags and output modifiers usually won't work as expected.
