Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

1. Request

It would be nice, if would be possible to add shadow effect for frames as already existing Border feature.

2. Example

3. Argumentation

With shadow effect images look more beautiful.

4. Expected behavior

User record a video → select all frames (Ctrl+A) → Image:

Now user can select Shadow as select Border → user set shadows → Apply → shadows successful applied for all frames.

5. Examples in another apps

In Greenshot users can add shadows.

If would be possible edit in Greenshot multiple ScreenToGIF frames, it solves this request.

Thanks.

Have a copy of Greenshot so I mocked up what that might look like in ScreenToGif

This looks great. I know I did that UI suggestion but this looks much sharper than I expected. Shadows help separate elements and give them a sense of structure, but I guess animations need it more than other things? It's a big difference. Thanks for the extra work on this.

Oh, nice idea. I just had to add other gifs, because of the size limit.

One issue with this amazing feature is the border is actually being clipped too short. You can notice that easily if you increase the opacity of it. It appears the blur radius and the extra margin to cover the shadow are not matching, the extra margin is falling short in comparison with the blur radius.
