Question to Make a Ghost Trail

[Enrique Borja]

try with the echo effect( i think is called like that), maybe it could be what you need

[Christopher Noll]

Echo Time in the layer/time menu Your footage must have the motion pre-comped to use this.

Now I tried the Echo Time set up and all I get is my logo turns into a brighter color of itself…I think I am missing something there…

Thanks guys by the way.

you could always:Take your object thats in motion
>duplicate the layer>mask around the object if needed>drag the duplicated layer one frame forward>bring the opacity down or change the mode(screen, add ,etc). and another option is playing around with echo and time displacement. i have made things work using this method, although there is probably a more precise approach to this effect, this is what i have used. hope i could help.

mmm i was close!! hehe thats what i meant

[Christopher Noll]

That’s the typical look of the echo time preset. You need to change the number of echos to more than 1 and the adjust the Echo time setting depending on the length of the comp.

BTW I was so wrong…EchoTime is in Effects/Time…DUH!

i would also add some blur , glow then drop opacity

Good suggestions, depending on the look you’re going for you could also add some large blurry plasma/dust particles to emit from the layer.
