I am *dying* to see an example from you using PP CS 4.
No, not literally dying. Let’s say ‘eager’.

I am on vacation but I will do a demo when I get back.

Why waste your time? You and I know what’s possible, because we actually use FCP and know what we’re talking about. The only reason for the question is to point to the fact that there are no refractions, caustics etc. yadda yadda, since FCP of course does not have them because it obviously does not use a raytracer (duh). (Not that that is the only way to get them) As if anyone using an NLE for that kind of work could or would even ever miss that or think they could expect it along with that level of speed and quality. And if so, they’re simply looking in the wrong place. So what? If that’s so essential, I’m guessing you’re smart enough to use an actual, dedicated 3D app and an NLE.
But that’s apparently being very presumptuous in certain cases. ????”
That is why I am not that impressed with FCPX’s 3-D capabilities. Having said that some FCPX user do think FCPX is true 3-D. It is good that everyone be on the same page when talking about FCPX’s capabilities.

April 25, 2017 at 5:43 pm[Jeremy Garchow] “[andy patterson] “Thanks for posting. I should have stated a 3-D Hexagon like a polyhedron. ”
I’d encourage you to try it out for yourself. FCPX ≠ C4D nor is it trying to be.”
That is kind of my point. What you did could be done with Premiere Pro real easy. Premiere Pro does not have a true 3-D rendering engine. It can fake 3-D animation to some extent like FCPX. As the hexagon rotated you didn’t see anything than other then text become transparent. There was no reflection or refraction like a true glass shaded object in a true 3-D animation program would have. What FCPX does is a shaded previews but not a fully blown ray traced rendering. Some People who use FCPX might not be aware of the difference. There was a time when I had to use wire frame previews with 3D animation software.
I do thank you for posting.

I am not talking canned title effects. I will create something in PP CS 4.0 and have you replicate it using only FCPX. I think you might find Premiere Pro’s titling tool offers a lot more than what you had first assumed.

I was wondering if I could include your video clip in a video I am working on demonstrating Premiere Pro’s titling tools?
