1. In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
• Add a standard clip: Import the rectilinear media, then add one or more rectilinear
clips to your 360° project.
See
Intro to adding clips in Final Cut Pro.
• Add a standard title: Choose Window > Go To > Titles and Generators (or press
Option-Command-1), then select any category below Titles in the sidebar (other
than the 360° category) and add a title to your project. To change the text of the
title, see Edit title text.
2. In the timeline, select one or more of the standard clips or titles.
3. If the Video inspector isn’t already shown, do one of the following:
• Choose Window > Show in Workspace > Inspector (or press Command-4).
• Click the Inspector button on the right side of the toolbar.
4. Click the Video button at the top of the inspector.
5. If you added a title, select the 360° Transform checkbox to turn on the 360° Transform
controls.
Note: The 360° Transform parameters are turned off by default for standard titles so
that you can first edit the text in the viewer using onscreen controls. After you finish
editing the title content with onscreen controls, select the title in the timeline, then
select the 360° Transform checkbox in the Video inspector to enable those controls and
project the title as a flat plane.
6. If the 360° Transform controls aren’t shown in the Video inspector, move the pointer
over 360° Transform and click Show.
7. Click the Coordinates pop-up menu and choose a method of positioning the clip or title
in the equirectangular projection:
• Spherical: Use this coordinate system for logos, titles, or video clips that are either
stationary or orbiting around the center.
• Cartesian: Use this coordinate system when you want to animate a clip or title to
travel from one point in 3D space to another. For example, if you were to re-create
the opening text scroll of Star Wars, you would create it on a single plane, then
rotate it on the x-axis and fly it from behind the center out in front.
