    use effects -> time -> echo.
    dont forget to precompose your animation first

    good luck,

    This is working really well. The only problem I’m having is the echo doesn’t return with the logo. For instance: I pre-comp and animation of the logo flying out, it hol,ds for a second, then flys back to it original location. The echo follows the logo out and holds, but it dosn’t return when the logo flys back.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks, this is very helpful

    Render out two scenes… one where the logo flys out and stops. Then render out a separate one where the logo starts in the “flyout” position and flies back to the origin with the echo following. Then just drop the two renders in another comp back to back and it should look right.

    I’m sure there’s a more elegant way, but it should get the job done.
