Drop shadow glitch

Report · Oct 03, 2023

Hi. I'm having problem with drop shadow effect. In pre-production looks ok, after putting it thru Media Encoder, it's glitching. It can be seen in 2nd second of file I've attached. But it's random, if I put it to Media Encoder again, glitch may be in diffrent spot, but it's always from drop shadow.

Without knowing the comp settings, render settings, workflow details, system specs, and GPU settings, it's pretty hard to diagnose problems by just looking at the finished video. We have nothing to go on. I see the glitch, but I don't know what is going on in the comp on that frame or even how you generated the drop shadow.

Hey Rick. Thank you for an answer. You've already helped me 🙂 It was the way I was generating drop shadow 🙂 my lazy amator a** has been doing ctrl+c, ctrl+v from other elements in video. Now when I generate it manualy from effect/perspectiv/drop shadow. Evertthing workng fine

Hi Rick,

comp settings: 1080x1920 square pixels, 29.97 rate, drop frame

render settings: H.264, addaptive low bitrate

system: Win10, AMD Ryzen7 3700X 8core, 64gb RAM, GPU Radon Pro WX5100

What sort of other details do you need, please?

I'm also adding composition itself, so you could have a look into it.

Thank you very much for help. It's very anoying problem and I'm sure, I'm doing sometnig wrong. Would highlighly appriciate it if you cound find an issue. Thanks again. Michal

Hi, had the same problem. Try to use drop shadow under "Perspective", not "MA-Generate". Hope it helps?
