When Paint is set to Watercolor
• Paint Color: A control to set the color of the paint.
• Sheen: A slider to adjust the apparent shininess of the paint surface.
• Opacity: A slider to adjust the visibility of the paint. Drag to the left to make the paint
more transparent, or drag to the right to make it more opaque.
• Placement: A group of controls (available when you click the disclosure triangle) to
set how the watercolor pattern is applied to the text object. See Placement controls in
Final Cut Pro.
When Paint is set to Reflective Paint
• Paint Job: A pop-up menu to choose the type of reflective paint (Velvet, Pearl, Electric,
and so on).
• Paint Color: A control to set the color of the reflective paint.
• Second Color: A color control to set a second paint color (available for some Paint Job
types).
• Sheen: A slider to adjust the apparent shininess of the paint surface.
• Opacity: A slider to adjust the transparency of the paint. Drag to the left to make the
paint more transparent, or drag to the right to make it more opaque.
• Diffuse Brightness: A slider (available when Paint Job is set to Custom) to set the
amount of color reflected by the text object.
• Specular Brightness: A slider (available when Paint Job is set to Custom) to set the
amount of light reflected by the text object.
• Shininess: A slider (available when Paint Job is set to Custom) to set how mirror-like the
surface appears.
• Face Opacity: A slider (available when Paint Job is set to Custom) to set how
transparent the paint effect is on surfaces that are more perpendicular to the camera.
• Edge Opacity: A slider (available when Paint Job is set to Custom) to set how
transparent the paint effect appears on surfaces that are more parallel to the camera.
• Fresnel: A slider (available when Paint Job is set to Custom) to set how much the
viewing angle affects the reflectivity of the object. A high Fresnel value means that
there’s a strong change in reflectivity as the viewing angle changes; a low Fresnel value
means that the reflectivity remains relatively consistent regardless of viewing angle.
