Cube Options
$ Face Edge Softness Sets the amount of softness to apply to the cube
face edges.
$ Cube Edge Softness Sets the amount of softness to apply to the outside
edges of the cube.
$ Depth Sets the depth of the cube.
$ Highlight Color Sets the color that is used for highlights.
$ Highlight Intensity Sets the brightness of the highlight.
$ Shadow Color Sets the color that is used for shadows.
$ Shadow Intensity Sets the darkness of the shadow.
$ RGB Cube Sets all six cube faces to display a predetermined RGB color
(front=red, back=green, left=blue, right=yellow, top=cyan, bottom=violet).
Since color shows highlight and shadow better than video, this option is
useful for viewing the results when you adjust the highlight and shadow
settings.
$ Show Light Direction Displays a three-dimensional arrow that gives a
visual representation of the light direction that you can use as a viewing aid
while adjusting the light rotation. The arrow is white when the light is
directed away from you, and gets progressively darker as the light direction
rotates towards you. Make sure you clear this option before exporting your
final project.
$ X Light Rotation Rotates the light along the x axis.
$ Y Light Rotation Rotates the light along the y axis.
$ Z Light Rotation Rotates the light along the z axis.

Cube Faces (Front, Back, Left, Right, Top, Bottom) All six cube faces
share the following settings:
$ Cube Face Source Sets whether the corresponding cube face displays a
color, the primary source that the cube effect is applied on, or one of the
two extra sources as selected under
Additional Sources.
$ Crop Allows you to crop the edges of your source clip. For more
information, see
“Cropping your clip” on page 133. The crop settings are
available only when the corresponding face is set to display a video source.
