  • expression for a solid with a drop Shadow fx

    Posted by Yael Tal on March 10, 2013 at 6:02 am

    Hi all,
    I am trying to write an expression for a solid with a drop Shadow fx: when the solid scale has no key frames, drop shadow distance is 0, when solid scale gets bigger, drop shadow distance gets bigger (up to 18 distance), I did succeed writing something that actually works (used the pick whip)
    transform.scale[0]+value-550
    I added the value -550 because the shadow distance was not correct… my layer’s scale amount is from 100%-to-575%

    , BUT….. the problem is that the shadow distance is “jumping” from 0 to 18 in 1 frame and not actually growing over the time i gave for the scale key frames…..Thanks in advanced!

    Does this do what you need?

    linear(transform.scale[0],100,575,0,18);
