  • Shadows not exporting After Effects CC

    Posted by Turner Vinson on November 22, 2013 at 8:01 pm

    Hey guys, I am relatively new to the Afer Effects world but understand the basics. I have a simple animated text video with a light and cast shadows. The composition in After Effects plays exactly how I want it, with all the shadows. When I export however, two places in the final video do not have their cast shadows. They are there in the program, but not in the render.

    Thanks for any help!

    Show a screenshot of your Timeline panel with the relevant layers and properties so that we can see how you have things set up.

    Thanks for the response.
    Here are three screen shots with a description above each one

    Shadows appear in After Effects

    Same spot but after exporting (no cast shadow

    The very next scene is this, and it works perfect, having shadows after the export

    Show me the Active Camera view, not the Front view.

    Thanks for trying to help, I figured it out, kind of. It’s working now anyways!

    It’s good to know people do respond here on the creative cow!

    I really am not sure what it was. However, when it worked correctly I used the preset export options that were already in place. Not sure why what I was doing before would have affected shadows though. it was probably something else that I was unaware of.

    Thanks Todd
