Universe Long Shadow adds a shadow to whatever text you apply it to, which extends off the edges of the composition in whatever distance or angle you'd prefer.
Getting Started
In Premiere, After Effects, Final Cut Pro X, Motion, Sony Vegas Pro, and Hit Film, drag the uni.Long Shadow effect onto your clip.
In Resolve, you'll need to follow a few extra steps:
Have your text on a video track above your footage's video track
Create a Compound Clip from your text, select it, and head into the Color view of Resolve's interface.
Within the Node window of Resolve, sever the default link between the text's node and the output.
Add a new Corrector node and Alpha output within the Node interface.
Create links from the Text's RGB and Alpha outputs to the newly created Corrector Node's RGB and alpha inputs
Then create links from the Corrector node's RGB and Alpha outputs to the final outputs for RGB and alpha, respectively.
With your Corrector node selected, key out the black background from your text, and click Invert to flip the key around.
Right-click in the Node interface and select Use OFX Alpha
Apply Long Shadow to your Text node
Modifying the Effect
Angle controls the angle at which the shadow extends from the source.
Length controls how long the shadow extends from the source.
Color lets you adjust the tint of the shadow using a color swatch as a reference.
Shadow Opacity adjusts the transparency of the shadow.
Expansion expands the shadow outward from itself, including the source.
Source Crop will tighten the source the shadow has been applied to from the left (Crop 1) or right (Crop 2).
Mask allows you to add and adjust (using standard position, shadow, width, controls) a mask for the shadow.
Composite Over Source will add the shadow to the source; disabling this will hide the source.
