    Hi, try the plug-in Radio waves. It should do just what you are looking for. You will find it under plug ins than generate.

    hope that helps….

    the radio waves effect may be the easiest way to do an effect similar to what you are describing….

    I doubt you’d be asking if you had access to the Boris Continuum Complete third-party plugin set, but just in case you or anyone who does just hasn’t thought of using it for echo fx, the BCC Motion Trails plugin makes doing this very easy and also gives you lots of additional controls to do all kinds of variations of the same effect.

    And, if you wanted to get really fancy, you could also use any particle system plugin that can generate custom particles.
