Text shadow in NConvert

[felipe4334]

I exported a XnConver job to Nconvert and it did export all the functions, one of them was the shadow for text therefore, everything looks weird on the NConver job, is there a way that the Nconver do the same job as XnConver? Thanks.

Could you please post the code you are using, and if possible show the different results produced by XnConvert and NConvert?

I'm not familiar with the shadow effect, if it is supported in NConvert, but someone else may be able to help...

But not a text shadow issue and no text shadow term in your code...

That's what I mean, I have text shadow on XnConvert but not on the NConver code I don't know how or why.

AFAIK, adding a drop-shadow effect to text is not supported by nConvert.

Code: Select all

-text string      : Add a text
-text_font name size  : Font name and size
-text_color r g b : Text color
-text_back r g b  : Text background color
-text_flag pos    : Position of text
    top-left, top-center, top-right
    center-left, center, center-right
    bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right
-text_pos x y     : Position or offset
-text_rotation degrees : Rotation

NConvert doesn't support text shadow

NConvert doesn't support text shadow

Is there any way of working around it, example multiple layers of text?

Possibly by writing the text twice, the second slightly displaced and lighter?? But I think you would be lucky to get a satisfactory result, although you could always try...

Otherwise probably using ImageMagick which supports an amazing number of imaging functions...

Thanks ill try it out.

I think with NConvert, if you apply the shadow before the foreground text it might produce the result you want, but the only way to know for sure is to try it...
