Scaling Video Feedback style effect

[Shea27465034xp7y]

Hi there, I'm struggling to recreate this type of effect. I've scoured the whole internet to no avail. Is there an easy way to recreate this without copying and pasting layers and keyframing the movement? Thanks!

Give the Echo effect a try.

I'm not sure the Echo effect would help here.  The subject isn't moving as much as a virtual camera is and the copies are off to one side before swinging round to the other. 

You might be able to achieve something similar with a nested comp and then the echo effect, but I think you'd get more control with duplicate 3D layers parented to the primary with the position and opacity set further and fainter.

I'm sure if it's really important they could just license Sapphire and its video feedback effect...
