When a shadow-casting layer intersects another layer, sometimes there is a small gap behind the intersection that is
supposed to be shadowed. To decrease the size of the gap, increase the shadow map resolution.

Choose Composition > Composition Settings, click the Advanced tab, and click Options.

Choose a value (in pixels) from the Shadow Map Resolution menu.

Choose Comp Size or a resolution larger than the composition size for best results. Lower resolutions may result in
shadows that appear blurry.
