  Easier way to repeat a footage

  Posted by Tayla Frances on November 21, 2017 at 5:51 am

  I’m not entirely sure how to describe this so I apologise in advance.

  I am interested in creating a video where there is pretty much the same piece of footage overlay a dozen or so times but each layer is offset by a frame (or more) now obviously the manual way would just be to copy past as many times as I want offset and then set each layer to a different mode so they all show through, I am wondering if there’s an easier way to achieve this, either with an effect or expression.

  Here’s a manual version (done in premiere but just because I had it open)
  

  Example of a unedited footage
  

  Example of footage overlayed 18 times
  

  Any help is appreciated!
