Stripes generator in Motion

The Stripes generator creates a default image with vertical bands of two alternating colors. You can change and keyframe the position, colors, size, and contrast of the stripes. Animate the Center parameter to make the stripes move continuously across the screen.

Adjust this generator using the controls in the Generator Inspector:

• Center: Value sliders that set the position of the center of the stripe pattern. (You can also use the Adjust Item tool to modify this parameter with onscreen controls. See Modify or animate a generator.)

• Color 1: Color controls that set the color of the first stripe. For more precise color selection, click the disclosure triangle to display Red, Green, Blue, and Opacity sliders.

• Color 2: Color controls that set the color of the second stripe. For more precise color selection, click the disclosure triangle to display Red, Green, Blue, and Opacity sliders.

• Size: A slider that sets the width of individual stripes.

• Contrast: A slider that sets the sharpness or blurriness of the edge between stripes. Values range from 0 to 1.

• 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.
