Effects Generator automatically selects it (the sphere turns yellow while the
video plane turns a dull red).
You are ready to set more properties for this sphere.
Adjusting The
Sphere
As it stands, the sphere is a basic primitive with surface reflectivity settings
applied. It has the potential for a texture to be mapped onto it. It does not have any
actual color, however. It’s also too big for this effect, so you’ll have to resize it.
The following section shows you how to add a color texture and how to scale the
sphere. In this tutorial, you apply the texture first. However, it makes no difference
which you do first.
To make sure you don’t accidentally select the video plane, turn off Select.
