When Finish is set to Brushed
• Type: A pop-up menu to choose a brush pattern: Linear, Circular, or Overlapping
Circular.
• Reflectivity: A slider to adjust the brightness of reflections that appear in the surface of
the object. This value can be set above 100% to create a high dynamic range (HDR) type
effect.
• Glossiness: A slider to adjust how dull or sharp reflections are. A setting of zero creates
a blurry reflection, and a setting of 100 creates a sharp, mirror-like reflection.
• Depth: A slider to adjust the apparent depth of the brush pattern.
• Reverse Depth: A checkbox that, when selected, inverts the brush pattern, making dark
areas appear raised and light areas appear sunken into the surface.
• Placement: A group of controls (available when you click the disclosure triangle) to
set how the brush pattern is applied to the text object. See Placement controls in
Final Cut Pro.

object’s surface.
