♦ Scale offset - This value is restricted at a minimum. The Y rotation can be used to set a starting orientation to be used with Cylinder Spin (below). The Y rotation parameter will “turn” The Tower so that it faces offset directions. A tumbling animation can be built with this parameter. The X rotation parameter will “lean” The Tower forwards (positive) or backwards (negative).
Dial down the disclosure triangle to reveal the X and Y rotations. FCPX only shows the Z rotation (“spin”) by default. ♦ Rotation - use these parameters to change the orientation of The Tower in 3D space. Manipulating the Z parameter can be used to “scale” The Tower larger or smaller, but it is far more efficient to use Scaling (below). Dial down the disclosure triangle to reveal the Z position parameter.
♦ Position - use these parameters to position The Tower graphics in the Viewer in “3D space”. Pan and Scale for drop zones cannot be keyframed. This can be handy if you want to zoom into a portion of the image and change its orientation (e.g., centering.) Scaling smaller than the “view port” will reveal a black background which can also be used for an interesting effect or view of the subject. (Drop Zone) Pan and Scale - these parameters can be used to resize the video/image used in the drop zone and reposition it horizontally and/or vertically. You can make longer clips by fashioning multiple shorter clips into a compound clip and use the compound clip as if it were a regular clip.

If you select a starting point that does not allow the full time of the remaining clip to “fit” into the length of this generator, you will need to shorten the time of the generator or find a longer clip. You may repeat this process as many times as you like to fit the precise video display you need. Select the Apply button under the Viewer. Find the starting frame (the cursor will skim the clip) you want the effect to display and click on it to load the clip. In order to load video into this, you must select the “source well” then go to the Event Browser or the timeline and mouse over a clip. The iDVD Revolution preset animation uses a Camera Fade and so produces an entirely different effect for transparency than this control’s opacity will.ĭrop Zone - this is ubiquitous across all of FCPX. ♦ Effect Transparency will allow you to fade in/out the cylinder/tower graphics. Fading the Static Title text has no effect on the text on the circle paths. ♦ Static Title Opacity - use this parameter to fade the “main title” text or take it out of the scene entirely. Use the Static Title Opacity to fade it in and out of the way when necessary. You can click and drag the title anywhere you need it. The position or rotation of the Static Title cannot be animated by keyframing. If you need more, use a Basic Title to add additional information. Whatever you type there will be copied and repeated in the cylinder effect. There is a Text Field in the upper right corner (by default) referred to as a “Static Title” which provides the text used in all parts of this effect. These preset animations are demonstrated in the video below (I expect less Motion noise from 60fps projects, or try using our SC Motion Blurs effects). There are three preset animations and a “null” to turn the others off: iDVD Revolution (on which this effect was originally based), Rise and Wipe. A recent, accidental discovery has allowed me to finally put all the pieces together.
The effort was not a constant involvement with this particular project and it has been alternately abandoned and taken up again about seven times since its inception.

This involved technical experimentation with the very text design used to construct the model, the reason you must install a specific font and all of this took, literally, years. There are technical issues that had to be learned and since there is no documentation, these had to be learned by experimentation. The 3D aspects of the model could be handled easily enough but the “textures” (drop zones and other artwork) suffered. The project was begun over 3 1/2 years ago - one of the first models attempted when 3D Text became available in Final Cut Pro X. The Tower started out as an emulation of the iDVD Revolution theme and originally called Revolution.
