ABSTRACT

The effects in the Time category all fiddle with time. Some of them, like Echo and Time Displacement, can create some really interesting visual effects using time tricks. Time Difference is a huge help for visual effects and color correction. The Echo effect creates copies (echoes) of a layer by adding duplicates from different places in time. The Echo effect only works on layers that change over time, but the motion must be either rendered or precomposed. The Echo Time (seconds) parameter determines where, in time, that the echoes come from. The Posterize Time effect is as simple as it gets. The purpose of the effect is to conform a video layer to a specific frame rate. With the Time Difference effect, identical frames become gray. And by default, the Time Difference effect compares the current frame with the current frame.
