Re: [applekeynote] Rotating objects with drop shadows.

Thanks,

 

This "eclipse" approach would work if ancient coins were truly round.  Unfortunately, their outlines are highly irregular.  As an example, try this:

The black background works wonderfully with instant alpha.  I guess what I'm askung for is that the shadow be recalculated during the action.  It would certainly be processor-intensive.  But such and option should be available for export, where each frame of the build is calculated separately.

solution for this?

Duplicate the image, move the duplicate behind the original, give the duplicate a drop shadow. Remove the drop shadow from the original, and rotate it - the duplicate will not move and will therefore keep the original light source shadow.
