    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.
