    hello
    I am new in this stuff and I saw everywhere in Apple’s tutorials and movies about FCP this effect when the text or the image is reflected in a virtual floor. Is this duplicate-reflect-maskwithgradient thing or there is some effect, setting or something because I see a lot of this effect arround.
    Thank you very much

    Just about everyone does this differently. After duplicating the clip go into the motion tab and play with the distort to give it the right shape, or you use a move 3d filter to get the perspective…then depending on how much Fall off you are looking for you make a gradiant, then create a mask for it…and there you have it. Matching the color tends be the difficult part of this. If you are not too worried about having a perfect fall off you could always just drop the opacity and skip the gradiant mask…but i dont suggest it.

    This is pretty much the same method as creating shadows too…only then you desaturate your text and give it a higher contrast first.
