    The native AE filter is called Echo. There are also several third-party plugins that do the same things better and with additional controls … most of the ones I’ve seen and the ones I use are typically called something like “Motion Trails” or just “Trails”. The same effect is also sometimes accomplished by using multiple instances of the same footage.

    It’s also important to note that other techniques (i.e., rotoscoping) were used in combination with an echo/trails filter in that example and it is well done so making something like that will not be nearly as easy as applying a filter and tweaking the settings.

    I tried the Echo effect, but i think this it not the result i want. I think the effect of the example is done with the help of some kind of masking. Echo only provides the options to get the know motion trail effect by multiplie the different pictures. Any other suggestions?

    Thank You!
