    This is weird – I add some text using the Legacy media generator, but when I add a drop shadow to the text, no black drop shadows show up Actually they show up on the timeline event, but they do not show up on the preview window nor do they render! its weird because any other color of dropshadow shows fine in the text, yellow for example is fine, but if I pick a black dropshadow or even a black outline – nothing! I render and there is no shadow at all.

    Any ideas about this problem?

    thanks
    Scott

    another weird thing – if i add a background color to the text media the dropshadow shows up! If I take down that background color, the dropshadow fades away too.

    also – same problem with the background color – colors show up but black background will not!

    Everything working fine in other projects – the problem is confined to this one project.

    Any ideas?

    Good… You have to watch out not to enable these small
    features, they can throw you off completely.
