When you select a behavior in a project, the Behaviors Inspector is displayed. When you select
multiple behaviors, the Properties or Object Inspector is displayed (the last pane used), allowing
for the editing of parameters common to the selected objects.
For more information, see Behaviors overview on page 293.
Filters
This pane, also referred to as the Filters Inspector, contains controls for adjusting attributes of
applied lters. If the object has no applied lters, the Filters Inspector remains empty. If the
object has multiple applied lters, grouped controls for each lter appear stacked in this pane,
with controls for the most recently applied lter at the top.
When you select a lter in a project, the Filters Inspector is displayed. When you select multiple
lters, the Properties or Object Inspector is displayed (the last pane used), allowing for the
editing of parameters common to the selected objects.
For more information on using lters, see Filters overview on page 741.
Object
This pane, also referred to as the Object Inspector, contains controls that vary depending on the
type of object selected. The name of the pane is also context-sensitive, changing depending on
the type of object selected. The dierent Object Inspectors are described below:
•
Object: Appears when there is no selected object. There are no parameters in the Object pane.
•
Image: Appears when an image, image sequence, movie, or drop zone is selected. When
media is selected, this pane contains the Drop Zone checkbox, the state of which determines
whether the image selected is a drop zone target. When the checkbox is selected, additional
parameters become available. For more information, see Drop zone parameters on page 199.
•
Group: Appears when a group is the selected object. The Group pane contains the Type
parameter, used to convert a group from 2D to 3D, and vice versa. A 2D group has dierent
available parameters than a 3D group.
When set to 2D, Fixed Resolution parameters become available, which allow you to manually
dene the size of a group. By default, Fixed Resolution is disabled, and the size of the group
is determined by the layers in that group. For more information, see Constrain group size on
page 160.
Note: When selected, Fixed Resolution crops the group to the size specied in the Fixed Width
and Fixed Height parameters around the anchor point of the group.
When set to 3D, the Flatten and Layer Order parameters become available. When the Flatten
checkbox is selected, all elements in the 3D group are attened like a card or billboard. When
the Layer Order checkbox is selected, the project elements are sorted by their order in the
Layers list rather than their order in Z space. For more information, see Layer order and depth
order on page 915.
•
Project: Appears when the Project object (located at the top of the Layers list) is selected.
The Project Inspector contains two panes: Publishing and Snapshots. The Publishing pane
lists all parameters set to be published in a template (except for lter onscreen controls).
The Snapshots pane is used to create dierent display aspect ratios for templates. For more
information on publishing and templates, see Final Cut Pro X templates overview on page 385.
•
Camera: Appears when a camera is selected and contains controls specic to a scene camera,
including angle of view and depth of eld parameters. For more information on using
cameras, see Cameras overview on page 928.
