  OpenGL text shadows

  Posted by Sonerdastan on August 20, 2007 at 11:46 pm

  Hi there,
  I’m using ae7 and quadro 3500… when i look at preference tab, its say all is supported for opengl, including shadows… but when i turn on “opengl-always on” in fast preview option the text shadows is gone… but only text shadow (i use drop shodows from effects) stills and videos shadows is there but text shadows is gone… and when i render to output… shadows is gone again… can anybody help me about it, thanks

  have you tried disabling opengl and see if that fixes the problem?

  yes i try… for previewing when i use the adaptive resolution, shadows are back but the comp is very slow preview… and for the output, when i turn off the “use opengl renderer” shadows are back but render time is soo long… i have 100+ comp and i must use opengl… or i wait for the render about 2-3 day…

  i still think that the problem may be the shadow color, i think that any color other than the default black won’t be rendered with opengl.

  have you tried posting in adobe’s after effects forum?
