Intro to 3D titles in Final Cut Pro
In addition to creating basic two-dimensional text, you can create text that appears to have
depth—complete with sides, edges, and backs. 3D text in Final Cut Pro exhibits the same
characteristics as real three-dimensional objects, simulating natural lighting, shading, and
textures.
You can easily convert back and forth between 2D text and 3D text. When you reenable
3D text after switching to 2D text, the previous 3D settings are restored. See Convert text
to 3D text in Final Cut Pro. For information about creating basic 2D text, see Add titles in
Final Cut Pro.
As you can with 2D text, you can animate your 3D titles in Final Cut Pro. See Intro to video
keyframing in Final Cut Pro.
