• Outer Cutoff: A slider that defines an outer stopping area for the generator. The lower
the value, the more the outer edges of the generator are cut off. Objects composited
below the generator in the project appear in the cutoff areas.
• Color Type: A pop-up menu that specifies color type. There are two choices:
• 2 Color: Creates two-color concentric shapes.
• Gradient: Adds additional gradient parameters to the Inspector: the Gradient editor
and Gradient Handling pop-up menu (described below). For more information on
gradient editors, see Gradient editor controls in Motion.
• Color 1: Color controls (available when Color Type is set to 2 Color) that set the first
color in the generator. Using the default settings, this color appears in the center of the
concentric shapes.
• Color 2: Color controls (available when Color Type is set to 2 Color) that set the second
color in the generator.
• Gradient Handling: A pop-up menu (available when Color Type is set to Gradient) that
specifies whether to clamp, repeat, or mirror the gradient in the areas beyond the end
of the shape (determined by the Center parameter and the rightmost color tag in the
gradient). There are three choices:
• Clamp to End Point: Limits the gradient to its edge (as defined by the Center
parameter and the rightmost color tag in the gradient).
• Mirror: Mirrors the gradient from its edge (as defined by the Center parameter and
the rightmost color tag in the gradient).
• Repeat: Repeats the gradient from its edge (as defined by the Center parameter and
the rightmost color tag in the gradient).
• Width: A slider that sets the width of the concentric shapes.
• Contrast: A slider (available when Color Type is set to 2 Color) that controls the
transition between the two colors. A value of 1 creates the highest contrast between the
colors; lower values create less contrast, softening the shapes.
• Phase: A slider that cycles through the colors or gradient.
Tip: Animate the Phase parameter to create a hypnotic effect.
• Publish OSC: A checkbox that, when selected, ensures that if this generator is sent to
Final Cut Pro as part of a template, the onscreen controls are accessible in Final Cut Pro.
For more information about publishing onscreen controls and other parameters, see
Intro to Final Cut Pro templates in Motion.
