I need a video effect that adds a drop shadow to my video.

Hi Robert.

As you have discovered, drop shadow controls are not available by default in Fcpx.

Many users have already created a preset using motion 5 and uploaded it to the forum here that gives you drop shadow control in Fcpx.

Why it was never included by default I just know. Just a “small oversight” on apple’s behalf.

I uploaded a preset just a few minutes ago that may do the trick as well.
