  • Chroma key “ghosting” FX?

    Posted by Carlos Fantano on September 5, 2026 at 4:18 am

    Morning! I’ve been trying to recreate a multicolor, echoing motion trail on a chroma keyed TikTok dance video (similar to the Sandevistan effect from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, where like several colorful “ghosts” lag behind their moves to indicate that the person is moving really fast). I tried doing this manually but couldn’t get a clean result, any help for this workflow?

    You could try duplicating the chroma-keyed clip several times on separate tracks, then offset each copy by a few frames. Apply a different color tint to each duplicate and lower their opacity slightly to create the colored “ghost” trail.For a cleaner result, you can also experiment with track motion to slightly offset each copy as the dancer moves. This should give you a similar motion-trail effect without having to animate every frame manually.
    This might help as a starting point: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=VEGAS+Pro+motion+trail+echo+effect+tutorial

    I did it full manually 😅 thanks for this, will apply this workflow in near future!
