  Emboss text on white background

  Posted by Mark Adamcik on September 3, 2010 at 2:58 pm

  I would like to get the effect of letters embossed on white paper.
  I see presets for this in After Effects, but I would like to work in RED.
  See the effect over video @ Sept.12 “Corner Bug Preset”:

  Simple effect but I can’t seem to get it looking right in RED.
  Thanks.

  Hi,

  I can help you with that.

  • create the title with the text tool
  • duplicate the video track over which you want to place the text and place this on top
  • twirl down the duplicated text to reveal the mask track
  • drag the title onto the mask track
  • position the title as desired
  • click on the main track level of the duplicated video track
  • click on the shadow tab
  • enable the drop shadow and customize as desired

  If you want to send me your email address I can send you a preset. You can reach me at peterm@borisfx.com

  Cheers,

  Peter.
