Customise the look and feel of the drop shadows you create, adjust the spacing of the hatch, add a slight fade, change the distance, experiment to see what works!
Works with all layer types
Apply to text, shape layers, illustrator files and any other layer you could apply the default drop shadow After Effects tool to.
In need of a hatched drop shadow font? Just pick a regular font and add a hatched drop shadow right within After Effects instead!
Add global shadow controls
The highline script also allows you to add a global control layer for all the drop shadows you create. Just select the global shadow option and a control layer will be automatically created for you.
