Basic DropShadow PIP FX With Avisynth

April 26th, 2008 by | Print

Following on from my previous post Basic PIP FX Avisynth scripts I’ve taken the same scripts and tweaked them slightly to display a drop shadow – sort of!

The shadow is little more than an Avisynth generated semi-transparent black rectangle layered underneath the pip video. With a slight offset applied to the rectangle, the shadow illusion is complete.

The position and transparency of the script is easily adjusted under the scripts USER SETTINGS :

  • Shadowoffset=3
  • ShadowOpacity=100

Further notes are made within the scripts. The scripts are included with a couple of short video clips to provide a working example straight out of the box for test purposes. Here is the download link:

 

DOWNLOAD

 

Note – I would advise unzipping the download in to an empty folder

Once extracted the project folder should contain the following:

  • PIPshadowBL.avs (Aviscript)
  • PIPshadowBL.avs (Aviscript)
  • PIPshadowBR.avs(Aviscript)
  • PIPshadowTL.avs(Aviscript)
  • PIPshadowTR.avs(Aviscript)
  • mainvideo.wmv(video clip)
  • pipvideo.wmv(video clip)
