When Distress is set to Perforated
• Type: A pop-up menu to choose a perforation pattern.
• Depth: A slider to adjust the apparent depth of the perforation pattern.
• Placement: A group of controls (available when you click the disclosure triangle) to set how
the perforation pattern is applied to the text object. See
Placement controls in Final Cut Pro.
When Distress is set to Wrinkles
• Type: A pop-up menu to choose a wrinkle pattern.
• Depth: A slider to adjust the apparent depth of the wrinkles.
• Placement: A group of controls (available when you click the disclosure triangle) to
set how the wrinkle pattern is applied to the text object. See Placement controls in
Final Cut Pro.
When Distress is set to Custom Bumps
Note: The Custom Bumps distress type is available in a limited set of preset materials that
use a built-in image as a bump map. For example, the Scales preset in the Miscellaneous
category uses the Custom Bumps distress type. For details about custom bump maps, see
the Motion User Guide.
• Bump Map Gain: A slider to increase or decrease the contrast of the bump map image,
giving the effect of larger or smaller bumps.
• Blend Mode: A pop-up menu to choose how multiple bump layers interact with each
other. Choose one of two options:
• Add: Uses a mathematical add operation, allowing the lighter areas of each layer to
shine through.
• Replace: Overrides the bump attributes of underlying layers.
Emit controls in Final Cut Pro
Use the Emit controls to apply a radiance effect to 3D text, as if the text were emitting its
own light. When you add an emit layer to a 3D title, the following controls appear in the
Material section of the 3D Text section of the Text inspector.
• Fill: A pop-up menu to choose whether the light emitted is based on a solid color or a
gradient.
• Color: A color control (available when Fill is set to Color) to select the color to be emitted.
• Gradient: A gradient control (available when Fill is set to Gradient) to create a custom
gradient for the colors to be emitted. See
Intro to the gradient editor in Final Cut Pro.
• Intensity: A slider to adjust the strength of the light emitted from the text object.
• Coverage: A slider to adjust how visible the emit layer is, based on the opacity of the
layer. A value of 100% (the default) causes the emit layer to be visible regardless of the
opacity of the layers beneath it. A value of 0% means that the emit layer shines only
where the material is opaque.
