NewBlue Drop Shadow not working

Post by dlevy »

I'm fairly new to Videostudio 2020. I'm trying to add a drop shadow using the NewBlue Video Essentials pack that downloaded with VideoStudio but it has no effect. I tested a few NewBlue effects on the same image and they worked fine.

I watched a video that covered Drop Shadow and Chroma Key. The Chroma Key was only when using a video overlay where the person doing the tutorial needed to adjust the chroma key.

In any case, the ChromaKey filter also had no effect - though it was not the appropriate effect for this object. I just added it to test it.

Any thoughts on making this work.

Thanks,
D Levy

Confirmed, NB Drop Shadow is not working, none of the presets are active, neither can you create your own drop shadow, will submit a bug report

No so quickly...
Have you tried to dropshadow on a png file?
In order to have it to work on video with the NB chroma key, you have to apply the full white mask first.

I tried a drop shadow on both a png and jpg. Neither works. We added a shadow in a custom motion and that works.
