  tracking line

  Posted by Gabriele Mariotti on May 20, 2016 at 1:12 pm

  Hello everyone. after a long research seems like i can’t quite find what i need.
  It sounds simple in theory (and maybe it is) but I’m stuck here.
  So, I want to create a line/streak/trace of a path (null object or just position keyframes)
  I tried Echo but i had to add too mane “copies” in order to make it stick and not disappear.
  If i use stroke or trim path they follow the movement but not at the same pace of the object.
  Question: how can i creat this line out of a tracking motion?

  Thanks in advance for help
