Echo: How to use?
I have a difficulty in using the “echo” effect. I even tried precomposing the layer, applying the effect but still i cant see the ghost-like effect. Tweaking the settings didnt seem to work. I have this tutorial about echo and it seemed like it was very easy to use. It was applied to a tiff image (a ball) and you can see the reasult immediately. I even copied the settings but it didnt work in my layer. Are there any special do’s and dont’s in using this effect? What am I missing? do you know any online tutorial? Please help. Thanks in advance.

One thing that kept getting me was that you have to precompose the layer WITH the animation, then apply ECHO to the precomp. Also, when scrubbing the Time setting, I hold down the ALT button because usually it only requires a small increment change to see results. Anyone else?
HTH.

I’m guessing it’s a pre-comp issue as well. Because echo is completely straight forward. I would just try it on a video clip first (which wouldn’t need pre-comping). Just to make sure all is well.

In case, in AE if you have something like:
Layer
* effect1
* effect2and effect2 is something that access other frames or layers
You have to transform this to:
Comp 1
Layer
* effect1Comp2
Comp1 (layer)
* effect 2Pierre
