quivering drop shadow

Post by HotTaco »

Hi - Please forgive my noob questions for awhile. =] Even tho I'm a professional (Flash) animator, I'm relatively new to Anime Studio.

The QT movie I created with a drop shadow (via one of the tutorials), has a weird quivering look at the beginning. ???

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Which tutorial was it? It would help a lot if we could see the QT. Can you possibly upload it to youtube?

It looks to me from the mov file that you have somehow animated the drop shadow effect. Scroll down the timeline icons (the ones that run vertically next to the timeline tracks) you should see one that looks like a piece of paper with a shadow behind it. If you don't see it, select the "settings" button at top of the timeline and check it so it's visible.
Then highlight all the keframes bar the first and delete them. I hope that gets you out of trouble.

Cheers
