Following on from my previous post Basic PIP FX Avisynth scripts I’ve taken the same scripts and tweaked them slightly to display a drop shadow – sort of!
The shadow is little more than an Avisynth generated semi-transparent black rectangle layered underneath the pip video. With a slight offset applied to the rectangle, the shadow illusion is complete.
The position and transparency of the script is easily adjusted under the scripts USER SETTINGS :
Shadowoffset=3
ShadowOpacity=100
Further notes are made within the scripts. The scripts are included with a couple of short video clips to provide a working example straight out of the box for test purposes- see download link below
Once extracted the project folder should contain the following:
PIPshadowBL.avs (Aviscript)
PIPshadowBL.avs (Aviscript)
PIPshadowBR.avs(Aviscript)
PIPshadowTL.avs(Aviscript)
PIPshadowTR.avs(Aviscript)
mainvideo.wmv(video clip)
pipvideo.wmv(video clip)
