Adjust this filter using the parameter controls in the Filters Inspector:

  • Direction: Sets the animation of the page curl to Open or Close.

  • Angle: Defines the angle of the page turn. Alternatively, use the Angle onscreen control (the small circle between the center circle and arrow) with the Rotate control (the arrow) to set the direction of the page turn. For example, at an Angle value of 180 degrees, the page turn begins along the right edge of the image.

  • Rotation: Defines the rotation of the page turn. Alternatively, use the Rotation onscreen control (the arrow) with the Angle control (the small circle between the center circle and arrow) to set the direction of the page turn. For example, when Angle is set to 180 degrees and Rotation is set to 130 degrees, the page turn begins along the upper-right corner of the image.

  • Radius: Defines the size of the page curl. The larger the value, the more subtle the curl.

  • Fade Out: Defines the image’s opacity over the page curl animation. When set to 1, the image remains opaque throughout the animation. When set to 100, the image is transparent by the end of the animation.

  • Shadow: Controls the darkness of the shadow that appears beneath the curling portion of the image.

  • Highlight Color: Defines a highlighted color on the back of the page.

  • Back Color: Defines the color and opacity on the back of the page.

  • Animate: Turns animation of the page-turn effect on and off.

  • Percent: Defines the amount of curl in the static image when the Animate checkbox is deselected.

  • Mix: Sets the percentage of the original image to be blended with the distorted image.

  • Publish OSC: Publishes the filter’s onscreen controls in Final Cut Pro X. For more information on creating content for use in Final Cut Pro, see Final Cut Pro templates overview.
