To create a generator and add it to a sequence:
1 Do one of the following:
 Click the Video or Audio tab in the Viewer, then choose a generator from the
Generator pop-up menu.
 In the Effects tab of the Browser, double-click a video generator.
2 Click the Controls tab to view that generator’s parameters, and adjust the controls to
suit your purposes.
All generators have certain parameters that can be used to customize their effects.
See “
Video and Audio Generators Available in Final Cut Pro ” on page 449 for more
information. The most basic controls, such as keyframe and Reset buttons, are the same
as those for other effects discussed in “

page 223.
3 When you’ve finished adjusting the parameters, click the Video or Audio tab.
From the Viewer, you can now edit the currently open generator into your sequence,
the same as any other clip.

have submenus with
additional choices.

show the parameters of
the generator.
