Shadow is a plugin for After Effects that makes it super easy to add a perspective shadow in front of or behind a layer, based on its alpha channel, brightness, and more. With options for softness, bend, length, color and many other properties, the Shadow effect goes far beyond the various shadow tools available inside After Effects.
A missing shadow is a sure give away that your composited foreground object wasn’t in the original shot. Shadow gives you a fast way to help sell a professional composite.
Use Shadow to add depth to your motion graphics. Go for realism, or create stylized looks.
VFX Shadow has been designed to have lots of features to make adding shadows to your keyed footage simple and fast.
