==Standing Trail==

'''Standing Trails''', usually done manually, ~~consist~~ of ~~instances~~ of ~~the~~ layer ~~being repeated so many times that it forms a trail~~. Famously popularized by {{Sid}}, they often can be dozens, if not hundreds of layers long.

'''Standing Trails''', usually done manually, have the important distinction of no keyframes; the position of each layer is completely static, or "standing". Famously popularized by {{Sid}}, they often can be dozens, if not hundreds of layers long - a very arduous process! Editors with scripting libraries can use [[Expressions]] to make this process a lot easier, as you can simply have each layer's position a certain distance, times whatever layer it happens to be.

Creating a 3D trail is similar in process to a 2D one, however you now have to repeat the layer through 3D space. As a result, usually you must do the effect manually as traditional video effects do not apply to 3D space.
