  Shadows on layered scrap book

  Posted by Daniel Elder on April 28, 2008 at 8:10 pm

  I am doing a layered scrap book with a camera move across it, I have a light casting shadows on images from images above them throughout the camera move. When I render it out, rendered it as Lossless, Pro Res 422 and Tiff Sequence I am getting a strobing or jaggediness with the shadows casted from the lights. Is there a way I can deal with this problem? Thanks

  I have tried many different rendering techniques, how can I minimize the flickering caused by my lights shadows on the pictures?

  Well, it can increase render times significantly but you can try increasing the shadow map resolution in Composition Settings > Advanced > Options.
