Echo or Motion Trails Effect in Premiere Pro?

Hi Maha,

You can search for "Echo" effect when looking for tutorials. Sometimes it is referred to as "Motion Trails." It is a very 70's/80's looking effect. I believe I used to do this kind of effect with a DVE box and a video switcher.

To pull it off with software, I think you'd have to either shoot your subject against a blue or green screen or roto the subject using rotobrush in After Effects (note that the subject you attached is shot against black, which could work). Either way, once the subject is isolated, search for the Echo effect.

Premiere Pro has the Echo effect but only basic masking tools. I think it's possible to pull off in Premiere Pro with green screen footage, but it's easier in After Effects if you have to use rotobrush for rotoscoping the subject.

Thanks,
Kevin

That is a job for After Effects.
