+Shadow
+""""""
+The Shadow effect drops shadow under text or images within a video frame. It works by creating a solid color layer based
+on the image's alpha channel, blurring it to create a soft shadow and then, the original image will be placed on top of
+the newly created shadow layer. Users can adjust the shadow offset (both vertically and horizontally), blur radius (affecting
+the softness of the shadow's edge) as well as its color components (red, green, blue) and transparency (alpha). This effect
+helps you create various type of interesting effect. Please note that this shadow effect applied is not a physically accurate
+depiction of light and shadow, but rather a visual technique used to create the perception of depth and form.
