Modify material layers used in a 3D texture
You can create a custom material by applying a preset material and then modifying it.
This example shows how to modify the Substance layer of a simple 3D texture.
1. In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select a 3D title and apply a preset material to it.
See Add preset materials to 3D text in Final Cut Pro.
The preview thumbnail of the preset you applied appears in the Text inspector, in the
Material section of the 3D Text section.
The material layers included in the preset appear below the preview thumbnail. For
example, the Basic material preset has a single material layer, Substance, which is set
to Plastic. Additional Substance settings specify the type of plastic (Shiny) as well as
the color (White).
2. Click the Substance pop-up menu and choose a substance category.
Depending on the option you choose, additional controls may appear.
