Drop shadow gone on export

Sequence avc-intra 720p
Stills moving, some w/ drop shadow.
Export to BMD 10bit mov - no drop shadow
Export to mp4 .h264 - no drop shadow

Are you using Maximum Render Quality in the Export Settings window? If so, try an encode without it. Using MRQ forces 32-bit linear color rendering, which can have some bizarre/unexpected results when it comes to partial transparency, such as with a drop shadow. However, we're told that this is "higher quality" and "more true to light in the real world."
If you think it's nonsense as I do, please file a feature request for an option to turn it off here: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form

  • Drop shadow is not exported in pdf when used in a symbol

    When I apply the effect "drop shadow" on an object and export to pdf it works fine. When I then convert the object into a symbol and export to pdf, the effect is gone.
    Suggestiones other than "don't use symbols" ???

    No, I can't reproduce the Preview issue.
    Maybe it is caused by other options in your file.
    Anyway: Preview is in no way suitable to pre check files for printing.

  • InDesign cs6 crashes when exporting objects with drop shadows to interactive PDF

    I am using the trial version of InDesign CS6 on a mac OSX 10.7.4  I need to export my document as an interactive PDF. I have found that the export works fine so long as none of the objects within my document have a drop shadow. However, if I add a drop shadow to any object (text, images, or video) InDesign will crash when I try to export. I am adding the drop shadow by selecting the object and then choosing Object > Effects > Drop Shadow. Is there another method I should be using to add the shadow if I want to export to an Interactive PDF?

    Hi Peter, thanks for the response. Yes, I have tried creating a new blank project and adding one text object with a drop shadow and then exporting to Interactive PDF, and I experienced  the same result. I tried replacing my preferences as you suggested and found that it did not have any affect.
    I continued developing my InDesign document without using any drop shadows and began to experience the same type of crashing under two more circumstances. 1. When relinking assets in my Links panel. 2. When exporting to interactive PDF with interactive objects that are being clipped (I get a warning telling me I have clipped objects before I export; when I click export I experience the same crash.) I have tried exporting the same file to a print (non-interactive) PDF and experienced no crashing.
    I thought I should mention that I am using a retina display mac book pro with 16GB RAM. Could my graphics cards or the configureation of my machine be causing my issue?
    Thanks so much,

  • Exporting to flash/swf, losing drop shadow?

    Hi guys, when I add drop shadow to 2d text in AE it looks fine in the RAM preview, but when I export to a SWF object its gone.  I tried both the effect and layer style versions of drop shadow.. not really sure what the difference is anyways.  Any ideas?  Googled a bunch and couldn't find an answer.

    We usually need to ask for clarification: how do you know the drop shadow really isn't there? If you're looking at a sample of the clip over black, it might be invisible. But Rick's usually got these things nailed. Drop shaodws from text require AE to create rasterized frames and that will change the processing of the output. As Rick says, it will be much larger because it will be a pixel-based movie of images rather than instructions for vectors.

  • Fixing Exported PDF documents that do not display drop shadows

    Now, what is the solution to this problem?:
    iWork Pages: The drop shadows in Pages and Keynote are generated by a component of Mac OS X. When you view iWork-generated PDF files in Preview, you'll see these shadows. However, if you view the PDF with a third-party reader that doesn't use this component, the shadows will be missing.

    Hi sgfoto,
    This is not the exact solution but just a trick.
    Try this:
    1. How about open your file and Export into images i.e *.png, or *.tif.
    2. Save into one folder.
    3. Create New file.
    4. Paste all of the image, clue: one image for one page.
    5. Then Export as a *.pdf file.
    Hope this may help and give you an idea.

  • No Drop shadow on export

    How does this pass R&D Adobe????????
    I have posted this b/4:
    Export a sequence to a Quicktime or MP4 file and effects don't end up in the final video clip.
    Mac
    AVC-INTRA sequence
    or
    BMD sequence
    Turning off the Max render depth seems to help, but who wants less then full quality?
    How can this be acceptable?  Why no patch release fix here?
    It's ridiculous!

    Is it correct to assume that you have a Black Magic card on your computer?
    Also, can you tell us which OS you have?
    Is this for ALL Effects, or just a Drop Shadow?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Drop Shadows Not Exporting On a Single Page in 1.3

    Hi guys,
    I have a trifold I've made and while exporting for my printer, I lose the drop shadows on the inside page (page 2). There are fewer drops shadows on the first page, and that side prints properly. The only difference between the two pages aside from the amount of drop shadows; is that most drop shadows are jpgs on page 2, and the outside page has only basic shapes. These same shapes show up on page 2 as well, but doesn't have drop shadows (therefore ruling out that it's because I have jpgs). I have to export it as a PDF 1.3 (Adobe 4) because that's what my printer specified with me, hence the only reason I'm running into transparency issues such as this. I'm running CS6 with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
    Thanks,
    Mitch

    The objects that have drop shadows on page 2 are mostly jpgs, sorry for the confusion.

  • IWeb '08 gutted my website. Images are gone. No drop shadows. Ugly!

    I updated to iWeb '08 after running the latest iWeb '08 software update. I am running a 24 in. Core2Duo iMac. After installing the update, I double-clicked on the Domain icon in my user/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and waited while the program converted my website that had been created with iWeb '06 and published to my .Mac account. Everything looked fine in iWeb. I added a graphic to a page and pressed the Publish button. After a long delay while the entire site was uploaded, I was able to visit my site and discovered that dozens of graphic elements were no longer visible. If the item is a hyperlink, the link still works, phantom-like, if I click on the spot where the item should be.
    Also, there are no longer any drop shadows. Reflections still appear, however.
    I ran some tests, creating page items by importing, dragging, copying and pasting, and creating shapes from the shape menu. The image items appeared normally in iWeb, but did not show up at all after publishing to the site. Shape primitives did appear online. Transparency, reflection, rotation all worked normally on the shapes, but drop shadows did not. The shadows appeared in the iWeb window, but disappeared when the page was published.
    Please visit what's left of my site at www.peterweisz.com and see the damage for yourself. Fortunately, I have a back-up copy of my old iWeb 06 Domain file. Short of de-installing iWeb 08 and reinstalling iWeb 06, what can I do to remedy this problem? Evedently iWeb '08 is broken bigtime.
    Thank you for your help.

    Can only endorse that. My observations with one of my iWeb sites:
    Safari 3.0.4 (and previous betas): color management (?) - take a look at this site: http://shivaduo.jan-groh.de - Text and image frames were created with exactly the same web safe color (990033), but they differ a lot.
    Firefox 2..., IE 6, Camino 1.5, Shiira: no shadows, (some) no reflections, (all) horizontally broken lines in reflections of frames, (Windows browsers) fonts (Trebuchet MS) get changed (worked perfectly before with iWeb 1... on exactly the same computer).
    Is there any remedy to this aestheical disaster (iWeb 2 was the main reason for me to switch to iLife '08)?
    I've already three bug reports to apple. They've made crap out of a fine little app...

  • Drop Shadows in Print Module

    Hello!
    Maybe this is not a feature but should be. I have a grid of 3x3 photos on a 13x19 page. I would like to add a simple soft drop shadow to set the pics off the page a bit.  Is that feature there and I can't see it?
    If not please add this feature. It's sill being ready to print but have to export a JPG to PS to add a drop shadow.
    Also a nice drop shadow to the Identity plate text would be nice. A work around was dropping a tiff from PS of the text with the drop shadow into the Identity plate box. But that is extra work.
    Thanks
    Max

    If you use a transparent image the shadow is around the bounded box, a square or a rectangle. You need to put the shadow in your graphic and save for web.
    If you use a shape in AE it will go around the shape. Shapes are limited in Edge.

  • A image with a drop shadow on a shaded background

    When I make a copy from my color printer of my PDF that has a image with a grey drop shadow on a grey shaded background. I get a shaded box around the image. This does not happen when I print from my b&w laser printer. The PDF was exported from Indesign, I had digital prints from the Indesign file and they are ok.

  • White box behind transparent images with drop shadow in InDesign CC 2014 (v.10) but not in InDesign CC (v.9)

    Hi all,
    Please can you help? No matter what settings I use in my print options in InDesign CC 2014 (v.10), ALL transparent images with a drop shadow are printing with a white box behind the image. If I remove the drop shadow, all prints fine. I know this is an old issue that happens with ID sometimes but I have been lucky enough to never have had it happen to me before! (All images are regular flattened TIFF images with clipping paths).
    Also, feathered edges are not printing correctly and are sharp instead of feathered.
    When I export the document to IDML and open it up in InDesign CC (v.9) all prints perfectly with no white boxes and feathered edges prints perfectly as well. I have compared all of the print settings (including color management, transparency flattener, etc.) between both versions and they are exactly the same. I am printing to a Xerox color laser printer. Can anyone offer any advice?
    Thank you so much,
    Christine

    Okay...false alarm! It turns out that the issue was with my PRINTER settings (the settings you customize after hitting the “Printer” button at the bottom of the Print dialogue box in ID CC. I thought I had triple checked this but it seems there was one setting I missed earlier…adjusting the print brightness seemed to cause the issue. SO GLAD to know it was not InDesign…20 or so sheets/prints later….and thankful to know what was causing the issue! Thank you so much Steve for helping at any rate:) Much appreciated:)

  • Problems with pdf and drop shadow/opacity in quark

    I have created a piece of artwork in Quark 7.5 which consists of a round picture box (which has a drop shadow). The picture box is positioned so that it slightly overlaps 2 large circles of colour. These 2 circles overlap each other also - the bottom one is a solid pantone colour, the top one is a pantone colour but with an opacity of 75%.
    After creating a high quality pdf file, the pdf does not display (or print) these circles/picture box correctly. It looks as if there is a slightly transparent square picture box just below the round picture box but on top of the coloured circles. This only appears to happen when the round picture boxes are positioned on top of the circle which has the 75% opacity.
    I can't figure out how to fix it. I tried making the coloured circles cmyk instead of pantone but that didn't fix it. I've also tried increasing the resolution of the drop shadows in the pdf settings but that didn't work either.
    I don't know if this is a Quark issue or an Acrobat issue. I tried changing settings in both applications but can't fix it. Can anyone help?
    (I've attached a medium res version so you can see what is happening - it's the 3 round picture boxes at the bottom).

    I used the pdf facility in Quark (export as PDF) but I also tried creating a .ps file through the print facility in Quark and then distilling the file in Adobe Distiller and this didn't work either.

  • PP CS6 Title Safe Motion Automatic Drop Shadow - WHY and how do I turn it off?

    Hello all.
    I'm new to Premiere (one week) after years on Avid. So go easy on me.
    I've created a title that I've added some motion to (basic stuff, just moved the position/added some directional blur so that the camera pan matches the title movement). The moment the edge of the title frame enters the screen a drop shadow appears - but only if there's motion (see attached picture).
    At first I thought it wouldn't show up on export- but it did. I'm sure it was placed there by programmers as some kind of marker, or edge warning, but why in the world can't I find a place to shut it off? I tried everything, watched about 2 hours worth of adobe TV, youtube, vimeo tutorials, read forums, the software's help section, etc. Had a chat conversation with an adobe rep in India and he suggested I animate using title crawl - in the end he didn't know how to turn the shadow off. I could always go to AE, but why should I have to do this for something so basic? Is there ANY way to shut this feature off (considering how customizable everything that adobe makes tends to be)? Or do I have to bite the bullet and create a Matte to over the shadow (silly considering it wasn't my creative choice).
    PS: If I stack video on top of video the same shadow does not appear, even if I add motion to it - so this is a title only problem.
    PPS: Yes, I could zoom into the frame to avoid the shadow (and if there is no answer or solution to my question I will do that) but why should there be a permanent shadow on a Title frame that already has several safety markers - including a while edge around the frame???? Or furthermore, why should we be limited to work inside a frame???
    Thank you for your help/time.

    It's locked and I'm unable to toggle it, but it seems like that is the current setting. It still shows the shadow.

  • Drop shadow issue in Distiller 9.0

    InDesign CS4 has 2-color title, which has Pantone Orange (spot color) and Black (Process Color). The design has two objects, first object has set as Pantone and second object has set as Black on top of the Pantone object and it has Drop shadow too. The drop shadow (Black - Process color) does not appeared on Pantone object while converting PS through PDF whereas the exported PDF from InDesign converted wonderfully. I have attached an images (turned on/off Overprint Preview) for your reference. You can see the difference when you turn on/off "Overprint Preview" in Acrobat. Also thin white rule appeared. Actually the rule should not appear in the PDF. Any help much appreciated.

    What happens if you print one page with the drop shadow together with only one or two pages that don't have the drop shadow? What color mix are your drop shadows?  Like Peter suggested, check the corresponding compression settings in your distiller preset. Heck, check all the compression settings in those presets. I had to use PS to work around some issue once and distinctly remember a problem with the presets making my grayscale elements look low-res because compression was set too high in a preset that was supposed to be high quality.
    Then again, just use Peter's workaround.

  • Indd 5.5: When using drop shadow or lower opacity in object, I lose fills

    I have ugraded to InDesign 5.5 (v. 7.5) for Mac OS. Here is my problem: If I have object "A" with transparency (lower than 100% opacity) or a drop shadow (which also uses a transparency) overlapping object "B", then "B" loses it fill when printing to a Xerox Phaser 7760GX. The fills appear  fine when exporting to a pdf and when printing from the pdf. They also appear fine when printing on BW HP printer (sans the color, of course).
    The file performs the same when I open on other computers with their own InDesign application. One of my colleagues has updated v. 7.5.1  but still has same problem.
    So far, I have:
    exported to IDML file and reopened the file in InDesign 5.5
    purged all inDesign preferences
    downloaded latest printer driver
    following Adobe troubleshooting instructions, isolated the Transparency as the cause
    (when setting spread flattening to None in the pages flyout menu, my fills return, but of course the drop shadow/transparency is disabled)
    Any ideas?

    Some printers just don't get along well with ID. Exporting PDF and printing that is the normal workaround.
