Overview

Mograph Mill's free After Effects project shows how to create a smooth motion trail on animated text using only native effects. The Echo effect builds the trail, Colorama colors it, and a few small compositing tips finish a quick retro look, with no plugins needed; the version is not stated.

The project is a Gumroad product titled 'Motion Trail Effect - After Effects Project File' offered at $0, so it costs nothing to grab. A neat, reusable trick for retro titles, lyric videos and sports-style graphics.
