Zoom/Pan questions for photos - drop shadows and borders

I’ve got a project going doing photo montages, and I wonder if there is a way to do what I want, or if I missed something somewhere.

Part 1. I have a number of photos on a track, and I’m panning and zooming some of them. So far so good – this is one of VV strong points. What I want to do is put a drop shadow on individual photo events for when I pan out beyond the frame. I know I can add a drop shadow when in the track motion control, but the event pan/zoom does not have that option. Other than adding a drop shadow universally across the whole track, and keyframing, is there an easy way to add the shadow to just a single event on the track?

Part 2. If I add a border to an event, the border doesn’t track the event if I pan, zoom, or rotate. It apparently stays the same size as the original frame. Any way to lock the two?

Thanks in advance!
