How to make this ‘trail’ effect?

[John Cuevas]

Maybe there is a plugin, but it looks like you could accomplish that with multiple layers, offset the position and play with the opacity & perhaps change the faded layers blending mode(screen?)

Thanks.
Yeah I thought of that, but it seems really tedious and random to do it like this. I’m sure there is a plugin somewhere!

looks to me like chromatic abberation…it’s an undesired byproduct of shooting with poor quality lenses…think of the album cover for Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon…with the prism and the rainbow emanating from the white beam of light…. well when this happens through a lens it looks like what you see in that video.

there are plugins that can do it….just google it.

good luck!

Thanks Patrick!

I think you are right when you’re talking about prism. But I don’t think this effect is related to a chromatic aberration though : the colors are not altered, nor is the quality, and the distance/scale between the multiple images is definitely different. I would say this video uses chromatic aberration : https://vimeo.com/10922419

But here’s another video that uses something similar to what I’m looking for : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3shX5CuyTs0
