Thanks for the BOTH answers it is really HELPFUL a lot.

Convert V2 Video Utility would be very good!

Okey Ashish. But would you be so kind and show me what exactly option is for changing a light position?
I mean that “the brightness point” visible of our 3D model?
I am asking because I would like to move that point on my model in After Effects “timeline wiev” (in that basic place, after closing “scene setup”). I try to find this many times but I can’t figure out what exactly is an option for do that.

Can you show me? I need to now only that important thing but I still can’t find it.

Thanks, so there is no any trick to do that what I want to?

Hmmm, your tip is working best. I still can shee a shadow on the edges but this time it is smaller.
So, probably that works element in Earlier version.
Thanks for your time

But I don’t have that option. I have only this visible: https://img.prntscr.com/img?url=https://i.imgur.com/QtLSgP6.png Earlier version of software.
And I don’t know how to do it. I have no idea how to get the same shadow like you have.

Also…. made a new layer and apply ‘Element 3D’ effect to that layer (not to the TEXT layer like before) also didn’t help.

See this and look on EDGES (I have still that shadows):

What’s now?

AD 1 – that is very important issue. Even if we talk about a comp size. After it resizing is unnecesssary because everything fits to my project. So, that is a good one tip. I don’t like to have a lot of layers so I decide to add Elementd 3D effect on my text layer instead adding it on the new one layer.

AD 2 – Do you want me to make a second 3D effect instead adding a “plane” object in one 3D build?
But how? I know that this method will not work because that two 3D layers will not “see each other” and wouldn’t affects of each other. We can’t make two separatedd, different layers of 3D with Element 3D plug-in and mix it together.
That’s why I added a plane layer in my also 3D text layer. I made even a test and it didn’t work. So, your 2nd advice is not helpful for me. Form this point I still can’t add a shadow to my 3D text. What about to describe how to do it step by step?

I will get that strange, unnecessary shadow every time when I want to get Ambient Occlusion shadow.
Seriously, I don’t know what I am making wrong.

You can see a whole process of making it:

And here is that project file (Element 3D plug-in is needed):

Kalle, right.
But After read your tips I did it in a very similar way and it finally works.

I pre-compose my 3D text, background video and camera of it.
Then I did a track motion (not a “track camera”). I bound it to my 3D text pre-composition and it works.
So I hide one camera with a text as a one pre-composed layer and then bound new camera (from tracking) to my 3D text on “solo” layer. Something like this: https://prntscr.com/8izjcp
But everything was ruined. My text went to the different X.Y position in my project. But I add an effect called “Transformation” and everything easily repair!

Thanks for a tip!

I can duplicate all of my layer with 3D effect. But in a 1st layer I can disable that shadow and then in a 2nd (that duplicated layer) I can turn on shadow and MASK all of it. But that solution is not a “professional one”.

Ok, I made very simple project to show that situation.
While making it I figuret out that if my “shadow solid” is too big, then it gets a shadow. If it is small, we can’t see that unnecessary shadow on its edges.

Thanks for your help. I spend many hours but finally did it.
A different angles view was very helpful in this case

I finally set a scene like I want.

Thank you again.
