Trails
Draws light or dark trails following an object’s movement. This filter is only effective
with moving images.
Parameters in the Inspector
Duration: Sets the duration of the trails. Values range from 0 to 1.00.
Echoes: Sets the number of echoes trailing behind. Values range from 1 to 30.
Decay: Toggles whether the trails decay over time or disappear at the end of the
duration.
Trail On: Sets the kind of values that trigger the trails. This can be set to Light or Dark.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the same controls as the Inspector.
Widetime
Similar to the Echo filter, but Widetime holds frames both before and after the current
frame to stretch the image’s motion out in time.
Parameters in the Inspector
Duration: Sets the number of frames before and after the current frame that are
blended. Values range from 0 to 1.
Decay: Sets the amount of time the added frames are held. Values range from 0 to 1.
Amount: Sets the amount of opacity of the delayed object being overlaid. Values
range from 0 (no reduction) to 1.0 (transparent).
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the Duration, Decay, and Amount controls.
Original image
Decay is turned on, and Trail On is set to Light.
