Publish OSC: Publishes the lter’s onscreen controls in Final Cut Pro X. For more information on
creating content for use in Final Cut Pro, see Final Cut Pro X templates overview on page 385.
Starburst
Radiates solid-colored rays out from the center of your object. The colors are derived from pixel
values around the selected center point, with the number of colors used determined by the
Radius parameter.
This lter causes rasterization in 3D groups. For more information on rasterization, see Groups
and rasterization on page 1045.

Parameters in the Inspector
•
Center: Sets the position of the center of the starburst. Drag the Center onscreen control to
adjust its value in the Canvas.
•
Radius: Sets the radius of pixel sampling for ray color determination.
•
Mix: Sets the percentage at which the original image is blended with the distorted image.
•
Publish OSC: Publishes the lter’s onscreen controls in Final Cut Pro X. For more information on
creating content for use in Final Cut Pro, see Final Cut Pro X templates overview on page 385.
Stripes
Turns an image into a series of vertical stripes. The angle of generated stripes can be changed
using the Angle parameter. The stripe colors are derived from pixel values along a line through
the center point at the angle specied by the Angle parameter. The distribution of colors is
determined by the Oset parameter.
This lter causes rasterization in 3D groups. For more information on rasterization, see Groups
and rasterization on page 1045.
