Since HitFilm doesn't seem to have any effects equivalent to AE's inner shadow/glow, how would you go about achieving a result similar to what is being done to the animated character in this video?
Basically like layer styles in AE/Photoshop where you can add an inner shadow or rim lighting effect with a specific angle to cast it.
I am using HitFilm 4 Pro if that makes any difference.

Here's a way to do it that works in either Pro or Express. One thing to note, though, is that your source material can't be too closely cropped. It needs some space around it for this process to work. If your source IS closely cropped, then drop it into a new comp first to give it some breathing room, then use that comp as your source for the steps below.
Another thing to note is that this process won't work with the built-in Drop Shadow effect. At least I couldn't get it to work, so I found a workaround.
Here's how my test looked, using an image I snagged from the Interwebs.
Nice one...
Definitely a messier process, but a great substitute. Thanks!
