Enable or disable material layers
You can temporarily turn off or turn on any material layer to see how it’s affecting the
overall texture.
• In the Material section of the 3D Text section of the Final Cut Pro Text inspector, click
the checkbox to the left of the material layer type (Substance, Paint, Distress, and so
on).
When the checkbox is highlighted blue, the effect of the material layer is visible in the
viewer. When the checkbox is not highlighted, the effect is turned off.
Rearrange the stacking order of material layers
The stacking order of material layers in the Material section of the Text inspector affects
a 3D texture’s appearance in the viewer. You can rearrange the stacking order to create
different looks.
• In the Material section of the 3D Text section of the Final Cut Pro Text inspector, drag
a material layer name (Substance, Paint, Distress, and so on) to a new position in the
stack.
Remove a material layer
• In the Material section of the 3D Text section of the Final Cut Pro Text inspector, click a
material layer name (Substance, Paint, Distress, and so on), then press Delete.
Tip: To select and modify multiple material layers at once (for example, to delete or
rearrange all the layers), Shift-click or Command-click the layers.
