    I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking here.

    You could write your text, make it move, then precompose it.

    Apply the time effect, “echo” to your precomp. Play with echo’s settings.

    Is that what you’re after?

    will try but it’s pprobably not the solution because I would like a blury effect like a comet particle trail. Any other idea? Thanks for your help!

    Get ParticleIllusion, Particular or use one of the included particle effects. Tweak the parameters.

    Was just watching the demo tutorial of trapcode particular but wondering how to make the particles follow the text path? Parents?

    Thanks for your support!

    mmm…bad idea of course I cant parent the particles to the text path itself! let see something different!

    You could use expressions to do it. Parent nulls to your text and have different emitters’ positions pickwhipped to the nulls.
