# Motion trail

Visual element sample: Motion › Video effects
Source: https://visual-gallery.asami.tokyo/en/styles/motion-effect-motion-trail

Fading copies of a moving object are left at its recent positions.

## Visual traits
- The moving object is drawn sharp at its current position
- Behind it, several copies along its path fade and shrink with age
- Copies are evenly spaced in time, so spacing shows speed
- The background stays still and sharp

## Prompt
Motion trail: a moving object drawn sharp at its current position, with several copies along its curved path behind it that fade and shrink with age, evenly spaced in time, over a still background.

## Avoid
motion blur smear, single object, multiple unrelated objects
