To add the remaining finishing touches that complete the look of this chapter's Ch10FinishedProject.mov movie file, do the following:

• Apply Effect > Perspective > Drop Shadow to the top text layer (Random Text Basic), and set the effect's Opacity to 85%, Direction to 282 degrees, Distance to 80, and Softness to 20.
  
  
• Create a letterbox, some supporting content, and a basic light zoom in just a few steps:
  
  

  1. At time 0:00, create a black, comp-size solid (720x540), and place it between the Random Text Basic layer and the Fill Text layer.
  
  

  2. Use the Rectangular Mask tool to draw over the center of the solid, and then change the mask's Mask Mode to Subtract.
  
  

  3. To outline the letterbox, apply a Stroke effect to it using the default effect values.
