  continuous footprints with trail at centre of screen

  Posted by Nick Frewin on October 2, 2014 at 11:44 am

  can anyone point me in the right direction..

  i want to create a trail of footprints that are centred on the screen (with the footprints scrolling off to the left as the new ones appear in the centre).
  I can do this manually easy enough, but there must be a cleverer way using effects/expression to do this?

  Have you tried using one of the particle generators(I’d use particular)? That would be a pretty easy way to create footprints.

  Shape layers with a repeater?
