Modify basic 3D text attributes
Adjust basic 3D text settings in Final Cut Pro
In many ways, 3D text is just like 2D text, and you can modify most of the text attributes
(including font, size, tracking, line spacing, and capitalization) exactly the same way you
modify those attributes for 2D text.
Note: To modify the depth, texture, and lighting attributes of 3D text, use the controls
in the 3D Text section of the Text inspector. See Modify 3D text depth and edges in
Final Cut Pro, Intro to 3D text materials in Final Cut Pro, and Intro to 3D text lighting in
Final Cut Pro.
1. Double-click a 3D title clip in the Final Cut Pro timeline.
The title appears in the viewer, and the text in the first text object in the title clip is
selected. To modify a different text object in the same title, select it in the viewer.
2. If the inspector isn’t already shown, do one of the following:
• Choose Window > Show in Workspace > Inspector (or press Command-4).
• Click the Inspector button on the right side of the toolbar.
