Chrono Trail
This effect creates a soft afterimage that flows over time, creating a dreamy atmosphere. It is perfect for scenes where you want to emphasize smooth movement, such as dance videos.

Chrono Cloner
This effect makes a fast-moving subject appear to be layered. Use it when you want to visually emphasize a group dance or complex movements.

Ghost Paths
This effect emphasizes speed by giving the feeling that the subject's movement is connected by a line. Recommended when you want to add intense dynamism like in sports videos.

Tunnel Vision
A dynamic effect that makes it seem like all movements are concentrated in the center of the screen, maximizing the sense of speed and space. Use this effect if you want to emphasize fast movements.

Pen Hatchings
A unique style where the afterimage of the subject appears separated by the passage of time, perfect for adding a retro feel or creating a sense of time passing.

These effects are not just simple filters, but powerful editing tools that can further upgrade the style of your videos. You can use individual effects or combine them to create more creative results.
