Time Filters
Where other filters manipulate objects in two or three dimensions, Time filters manipulate
objects in the fourth dimension—time. These filters are most often used with moving
footage.
Echo
Echoes an object’s motion by repeating frames. The result is that moving areas of an
image leave a streaking trail behind as they move.
This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups.
