In the case of a filter, this is the filtered source and this input will not be shown. Source- Only available when used as a source Select the source used to generate the shadow. ShadowThe shadow effect draws an offset drop-shadow simulating a light causing the selected source to cast a shadow, giving the effect of the source floating off the canvas. Higher intesity values will have less feathering and brighter colors. Intensity- Determines how bright the glow is.Size- Specifies the thickness (in pixels) of the glow.Triangular is a more accurate, less diffuse, and tighter blur, whereas Dual Kawase is significantly more efficient, and more spread out. Blur Type- Choose either Triangular or Dual Kawase.For an inner glow, both the filter and source have the option to Ignore Source Border, which will suppress drawing a glow anywhere the masked content meets the edge of the source (e.g., if your masked facecam is aligned with the bottom of the source). Options- For an Outer Glow, if using the Glow Source, there is an option for Infill which will fill inside of the glow (the area that would be behind the original source). Outer glows are drawn from the edge of the mask outward, while inner glows are drawn from the edge of the mask inward, over the top of the original source. Position- Select either Outer Glow or Inner Glow.If using the Glow Source a source in this dropdown must be selected. Source- Only available when used as a source Select the source used to generate the glow. GlowThe glow effect draws a feathered stroke with a user-defined size and intensity around the masked source. The color or source to be used as fill.Fill Type- Choose between Color or Source.Anti-Alias- If selected will perform a basic anti-aliasing pass to remove the jagged edges seen on the edges of the stroke.More Accurate uses a two-pass technique (resulting in double the number of texture samples) to provide a more accurate stroke thickess. Fast is a quick approximation and will result in less accurate (but still visually pleasing) stroke thickness. Offset Quality- If you are providing an offset value, you can choose the offset calculation algorithm.Offset- Indicates how many pixels from the edge of the mask you want the stroke to be drawn.Stroke Size- Specifies the thickness (in pixels) of the stroke.For an inner stroke, both the filter and source have the option Ignore Source Border which will suppress drawing a stroke anywhere the masked content meets the edge of the source (e.g.- if your masked facecam is aligned with the bottom of the source). Options- For an Outer Stroke if using the Stroke Source there is an option for Infill Zero Offset which will fill inside of the stroke if the offset is zero.Outer strokes are drawn from the edge of the mask outward, while inner strokes are drawn from the edge of the mask inward over the top of the original source. Position- Select either Outer Stroke or Inner Stroke.Source- Only available when used as a source Select the source used to generate the stroke.Experiment with the intensity of the blur for cool looks. Quickly create a simple shadow using AE shape layers.Īn easy blur + shadow effect. Share your thoughts/suggestions in the comments below! 5 Types of Shadows in After EffectsĮxperiment with feather and adding blur to the drop shadow.įeather the fall off of a 3D shadow to mimic a realistic light effect.Ĭreate an artificial light in After Effects and use it to cast a shadow across text in simulated 3D space. Know a cool shadow technique that didn’t make the list? See examples of each AE shadow further below! In the After Effects video tutorial below, we’ll explore 5 different ways to apply shadows in AE and a few different configurations for each. While this is useful to add depth to your text and design elements, there’s actually several other easy options for applying shadows in AE. Many After Effects users just default to using the standard drop shadow. In this tutorial we look beyond the drop shadow and show you how to create dynamic shadow effects in your AE projects.
