text trail

Is there a way to make a object or a text in AE leave a trail when it move on screen?

Much like the opening title in superman movie.

I did try motion blur but it didn't give the result i want.

I can't quit recall the Superman title. But, a particle effect with the word as a custom particle and the velocities turned down might be what you want. Use a darker (or lighter) color for the particle trail. Put a lighter color of the same word over the top. Animate both layers to move as you want them to move.

You could use Trapecode Shine to leave a short trail behind the word.

I assume you tried a motion blur, and that was not enough of a trail.

you could also use "Effect/Time/Echo" with a high value for "Number of Echoes"
