The **Static Text 3D Layer** in mimoLive adds depth and a dynamic perspective to your text elements by transforming them into three-dimensional objects. This layer is ideal for creating more engaging titles, lower thirds, or other text-based graphics that stand out in your live production.

**Key Features:**

- **3D Depth**: Adds a third dimension to your text, allowing it to have real visual depth. You can control the **Depth** of the text to make it pop out or sink in.
- **Rotation**: The text can be rotated on the **X, Y,** and **Z axes** to create a dynamic viewing angle, making your text appear more visually interesting. For example, you can tilt or skew the text for a unique look.
- **Customizable Text**: Like other text layers, you can input any text and customize the **font, size, kerning,** and **leading**.
- **Animation**: The text can be animated for both entry and exit, allowing smooth transitions with various animation effects.

**User Interface:**

- **Text Settings**: In the **Content** section, you can manually input the text to be displayed.
- **3D Depth Control**: In the **Appearance** section, you can adjust the text’s **Depth** to enhance the 3D effect.
- **Rotation Settings**: Use the **Rotation X, Y, Z** sliders in the **Geometry** section to control the orientation of the text in 3D space.
- **Positioning**: Adjust the text’s position in 3D space along the **X, Y,** and **Z axes** to fine-tune its placement on screen.
- **Fixed Width**: Set a fixed width for the text to maintain its dimensions, even with 3D transformations applied.

**Example Uses:**

- **Title Cards**: Use the Static Text 3D Layer to create impressive title sequences with rotating, floating text.
- **Intro Text**: Add depth and rotation to your intro text to grab viewers’ attention at the beginning of your broadcast.
- **Animated Lower Thirds**: Enhance lower thirds with 3D text effects for a more dynamic, professional appearance.

The **Static Text 3D Layer** provides an engaging way to bring text to life with added depth and motion, making it a powerful tool for adding impactful titles and text to your live productions.
