How to create drop shadow preset?

I have now spent an entire day searching and trying to create a preset for fcpx. On most of the effects I use, i have the option to save as a preset. BUT with the drop shadow effect, I doesn't.
On the instructions in the help section for editing a FCPX effect, it claims you need to either right click or control click the effect in the media browser, and then select "open a copy in motion". This works on any effect BUT Drop shadow! lol.
So I then with my limited knowledge of Motion 5, tried to create a FCPX effect on my own. I created a new FCPX Effect, Then in the HUD I applied the drop shadow with the settings I needed, and saved it. Then in FCPX I applied it to the track, but nothing happened. I am lost, and need help. I ahve to apply a drop shadow with 50% opacity, and 30% for blur to over 600 clips in over a month. I can't do it manually and then adjust the parameters manually for each one. PLEASE HELP!
Chris

The Drop Shadow is actually coded with FXPlug, it is not a straigth Motion template. Any effect or template that is coded can't be opened in Motion.
When you create your own, you need to publish the parameters you need access to.
I think what you need to look at is the Paste Attributes function. Select a clip in your Timeline that you've applied the Drop Shadow to and have tweaked it. Command-C to copy it. Select all the other clips at once, in the Edit menu select "Paste Attributes", then specify only the Drop Shadow effect. Poof, done.

How can I create drop shadows with PSE10

How can I create drop shadows with PSE10 & PE10?

Layer styles let you quickly apply effects to an entire layer. In the Effects panel, you can view a variety of predefined layer styles and apply a style with just a click of the mouse.
Three different layer styles applied to text
The boundaries of the effect are automatically updated when you edit that layer. For example, if you apply a drop shadow style to a text layer, the shadow changes automatically when you edit the text.
Layer styles are cumulative, which means that you can create a complex effect by applying multiple styles to a layer. You can apply one style from each style library per layer. You can also change a layer’s style settings to adjust the final result.
When you apply a style to a layer, a style icon appears to the right of the layer’s name in the Layers panel. Layer styles are linked to the layer contents. When you move or edit the contents of the layer, the effects are modified correspondingly.
Once you choose Layer > Layer Style > Style Settings, you can edit the settings of a layer’s style or apply other style settings or attributes available in the dialog box.
Lighting Angle Specifies the lighting angle at which the effect is applied to the layer.
Drop Shadow
Specifies the distance of a drop shadow from the layer’s content. You can also set the size and opacity with the sliders.
Outer Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the outside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
Inner Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the inside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
Bevel Size Specifies the size of beveling along the inside edges of the layer’s content.
Bevel Direction Specifies the direction of the bevel, either up or down.
Stroke Size Specifies the size of the stroke.
Stroke Opacity Specifies the opacity of the stroke.

How to create drop down option in service manager 2012 incident portal

Hii,,
Please assist how to create drop down option in service manager 2012 SP1 default incident portal. We would like to provide the drop down option in "Please enter the title for the Issue" to our users.
Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

As was already referenced, you could use a Simple List for the prompt, however if you are referring to the default General Incident that is available out-of-the-box, you might be limited in what you can modify.
I did some work for a client, that wanted to have a list and other options for the General Incident through the Portal. So, I ended up having to create a custom General Incident instead of using the default one, which will then allow you to add any type
of prompts, and configure them as you want (i.e. with a simple list).

How to get drop shadow text in windows version of LabVIEW 2009

In the lower left corner of the attached JPG you can see that "Instrument Cluster" has a drop shadow. I created it by accident and would like to use drop-shadow for control names, but I cannot figure out how I did it. The only "Style" options in my Text Properties drop-down menu are Plain, Bold, Italic, Underline, Outline and Strikeout.
The Help file implies that it can be done in MAC OS. I just did it in Windows.
Does anyone know how?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Drats! An artifact.
I guess it is floating because I typed it on a boundary?
Thanks for the tip. As Nick Danger would say, "You saved me a lot of investigative work, flatfoot."

How to add DROP SHADOW

I posted earlier but figured I'd give it another shot due to the flood of other posts. Has anyone figured out how to add a drop shadow (preferably to video clip with an alpha channel, but other applications such as psd files, etc. would good to know for as well). I mean, if iWeb can have drop shadows, SURELY Final Cut Pro X does...right?

The solution is do do it in Motion. Only took me a minute to figure it out.
Basically, you create a "Final Cut Effect" in the project browser of Motion, and take a clip (any clip will work, it seems), scale it down to 50% or whatever, add the drop shadow (easy to find), and hit Save.
Motion will tell you it's "publishing" it, and ask you for a category. I created one with my name.
Go back to FCPX, my new category appears instantly in the Effects browser, and there's my shadow effect in that category. Drag your newly created effect to the clip you want to effect, and there you go.
The nice thing is, having your own saved effects makes it easy to be consistent when you want to apply that effect to several things.

Creating Drop Shadow

It seems like creating a simple drop shadow would be an easy
task but I've tried with no luck. I've looked at all of the help
and followed the directions in help. I have a jpg (a photo) and
want to place a drop shadow on the bottom and right side. I've
selected the image and clicked on Effects in the Properties box and
selected Drop Shadow from the Shadow and Glow menu. The Distance is
set at 7, the color is black, Opacity is 65%, Softness is 4, and
the Angle is 315. I click out of the box, the Effects show a check
mark and Drop Shadow but there's no shadow. What am I missing here?
Selecting Preview just shows the image without the shadow.

Once you have applied your drop shadow, click outside your
image and in the
Property Inspector click 'Fit Canvas', that should do it.

Creating drop shadow on semi transparent bug

I have to put a client's logo on the bottom right of the screen. I have appliyed the keying effect on it to make the rectangle frame dissapear so that only the logo appears. However, I would need to surround it with a thin black line or shadow so that it doesn't disappear over certain backgrounds. Ho do I achieve that (the inspector doesn't provide any ''drop shadow'' effect for that clip as it would if it were a title) ?

If you have FCPX 10.0.6 or later, in the Effects browser > Stylize, you should find a Drop Shadow effect you can add to the watermark clip.

PS CC 2014: How to create 3D-shadows on a vertical surface?

Hi!
PS CC 2014: I imported 3D-objects in a 2D-environment (photo). The objects are placed on a wall (vertical surface). I would like to create natural shadows from these objects onto the wall. But I only succeed in making shadows on the ground plane (floor). I tried to use the vanishing filter, but this didn’t work out.
Is it possible?
Best regards
Susanne

You can also add a 3D plane to our 3D object that is in the place where your 2D wall should be. you can then render and cast a shadow on this plane that you can use to apply to your 2D wall. You can make a dupe of the 3d objects so that you can take the shadow on the plane and apply it to your wall using blend modes like multiply or overlay, Then have just your object above that without the plane with normal blend mode.

How to create drop down menu

Hi
Can we create drop down menus in HTML DB as we do in
Visual Basic.
Thanks.

In HTML DB v2.0 you can create drop down menus. I cannot say if they are the same as Visual Basic because I am not familiar with VB..
Here is an example pull-down menu:
     A   B   C                <--- Top level
     A1 B1                   <--- Second level
     A2                       <--- Third levelInitially the user sees a horizontal menu with "A", "B', and "C". When the user clicks on "A" a menu containing "A1" and "A2" is displayed under "A".
Here is what you do to create this:
1.) Edit a page.
2.) Click the "Create" (plus sign) button in the "Lists" region under "Shared Components".
3.) Enter a List name.
4.) Make the "List Template" be "DHTML Menu with Sublist".
5.) Click the "Create List Entry >" button on the right. You are now creating your Top Level menu.
6.) Enter "A" into the "List Entry Label".
7.) Set "Target Type" to "- No Target -". This could be an URL or another page in the application.
8.) Click the "Create and Create Another" button. You are now create the lower level menus.
9.) Select "A" for the "Parent List Entry".
10.) Enter "A1" into the "List Entry Label".
11.) Set "Target Type" to "- No Target -".
12.) Repeat steps 8, through 11 for "A2".
13.) Click the "Create and Create Another" button.
14.) Repeat steps 6 through 12 for "B" and "B1".
15.) Click the "Create and Create Another" button.
16.) Repeat steps 6 and 7 for "C".
17.) Click the "Create" button.
18.) Click the "Add this list to the current page" link.
19.) Specify the region information for the menu and click "Next" button.
20.) Click the "Create List Region" button.

How to create drop-down menu with transparency

Hello,
Is it relatively easy to create drop-down menu's with
transparent drop downs? Any step by step help would be greatly
appreciated.
I thank you in advance,

Take a look at "Creating Animated Buttons". The Tweening of
the text to
the right and changing the color perhaps could be replaced or
appended
by your drop-down-needs? The Drop-Down is another Animated

How to create a cropping preset?

Hello,
So I am new to using Premiere and am having some difficulties locating things (if they even exist.)
I create videos for YouTube and on my endslate I have a "Last Episode" which has my last video cropped smaller. When I used Vegas I was able to save this crop as a preset so that when I made my next video i could just select the preset and it would resize the video exactly the same and in the same position.
Can this be done on Premiere, if so how?
Example on Vegas: http://gyazo.com/304244898c9bce384dc549fe4f7ab865

No sure if you are cropping (cutting of the edges) or just scaling the entire image down (like a picture in picture)
In the Effects palet you will find the Crop tool.
Apply the effect then right click on the effect in the Effect Controls and save as preset.
You can also save fixed effect (everything in the Motion, Opacaity and Time remapping) as a preset.
Done the same way as describe above.
