1 Select the object to apply a drop shadow to, and select Filters.

2 Click the Add Filter (+) button, and select Drop Shadow.

3 Edit the filter settings on the Filter tab:

• To set the width and height of the drop shadow, drag the Blur X and Y sliders.

• To set the distance of the shadow from the object, drag the Distance slider.

• To open the Color Picker and set the shadow color, click the color control.

• To set the darkness of the shadow, drag the Strength slider. The higher the numerical value, the darker the shadow.

• To set the angle of the shadow, enter a value, or click the angle selector and drag the angle dial.

• Select Knockout to knock out (or visually hide) the source object and display only the drop shadow on the

knockout image.

• To apply the shadow within the boundaries of the object, select Inner shadow.

• To hide the object and display only its shadow, select Hide Object. Hide Object lets you more easily create a

realistic shadow.

• Select the quality level for the drop shadow. High is approximate to that of a Gaussian blur. Low maximizes

playback performance.

Create a skewed drop shadow

Skewing the Drop Shadow filter to create a more realistic looking shadow.

1 Select the object with the shadow you want to skew.

2 Duplicate (select Edit > Duplicate) the source object.

3 Select the duplicated object, and skew it using the Free Transform tool (Modify > Transform > Rotate And Skew).

4 Apply the Drop Shadow filter to the duplicated movie clip or text object. (It will already be applied if the object

you duplicated already had a drop shadow.)

5 In the Filters panel, select Hide Object to hide the duplicated object while leaving its shadow visible.

6 Select Modify > Arrange > Send Backward to place the duplicated object and its shadow behind the original object

that you duplicated.

Adjust both the Drop Shadow filter settings and the angle of the skewed drop shadow until you achieve the desired look.
