Applying a bevel
Applying a bevel applies a highlight to the object that makes it appear to be curved up above
the background surface. You can create an inner bevel, an outer bevel, or a full bevel.
To apply a bevel to an object:
1. Select a movie clip or text object that you want to apply a bevel to.
2. Select the Filters tab in the Property inspector.
3. Click the Add Filter (+) button and select Bevel from the pop-up menu.
4. Edit the filter settings in the Filter tab of the Property inspector:
■ Select the type of bevel you want to apply to the object from the Type pop-up menu.
You can choose an inner, outer, or full bevel.
■ Drag the Blur X and Y slider to set the width and height of the bevel.
■ Select a shadow and highlight color for the bevel from the pop-up color palette.
■ Drag the Strength slider to set the opacity of the bevel without affecting its width.
■ Drag the Angle dial or enter a value to change the angle of the shadow cast by the
beveled edge.
■ For Distance, enter a value to define the width of the bevel.
■ Select the Knockout check box to knock out (or visually hide) the source object and
display only the bevel on the knockout image.
