Thanks Jeremy.

Just wanting to download (not infringing on copyright laws) various clips, either funny or serious to be used in videos for family and friends. I am not wanting to profit in any way. Example: My son produced several videos on youtube that I want to download and share.

Does that help?

An oldy like me that drove me crazy…

Thanks

I lost count but you were helpful AND right!

After playing around with it I tried deleting the ‘layer styles’ and, WA-LA! the shadow returned…

I’m sorry to put you all through this but much appreciate everyone’s input and hope I’m not in the naughty room for too long. I may be back…

Thanks again!

I apologize again for my misunderstanding. I have been an infrequent user and student of AE over the years but greatly appreciate these forums and tutorials to help in my video productions and other situations I encounter with operating systems.

Are you asking me to send you the entire project with all associated graphics, or, produce another project using just the one graphic with the solid background and light added? How would I include that graphic? Or should I make a new project with just a text, background and light?

The current project has several comps of different renditions of the graphic.

I’m running as fast as i can to catch up with all you experts but my sneakers need replacing…

Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have the shadows turned on for both the graphic and the light.

Sorry. I don’t understand what you mean by ‘reduce’ the AEP…

Preview mode is Off. Don’t know what else to try.

The solid is set correctly. My concern is whether re installing AE will create more problems. Adobe is not supporting older software anymore and I am using Yosemite which should still accept AE CC4 but don’t know if there’s anything on my drive that would put a hitch in it…

May just go to “alternate plan B” and go back to layer styles… :{

Thanks for all your input.

Tried it with text.
