CHAPTER 9
Strobing and Trails

Trails

The Trails parameter creates an afterimage that follows a moving image as it moves on
layer 1. The DMX value of the Trails parameter varies the length, or duration, of the trails.
The suggested default DMX value of 0, creates no trails. A value of 255 creates very long
trails.
The Trails effect is available only on Layer 1. However, trails are also applied to all content
on other layers that become visible on Layer 1. For instance, if other layers are masked or
turned partly transparent to reveal Layer 1 beneath, the Layer 1 Trails effect then applies
to those layer's visible content as well.
The Trails effect requires transparency of the layer, either from the Color
Effects parameter, or by reducing the Intensity parameter of the layer.
