Echo on PNG, PSD and JPEG does not work

Question

I used to just throw my png logo into After Effects, precompose, and mess with the echo settings to get my desired effect. But this method no longer works on any of the file formats (png, jpeg or PSD)

I have tried re-exporting my PNG to webm and then back to PNG, reimporting the NEW file, and directly applying echo, precomp, and apply, and nothing works.

It works on text generated in AE and video. What am I missing?

Hard to tell from the screenshots you've shared. Can you upload an example of what you're trying to do (from one of your older projects)?

Best guess from what you're shown here is that you're moving the layer, but the echo is applying before the movement. I think you probably want the position change inside your precomp.
