Basic DropShadow PIP FX With Avisynth
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:
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)
