The Clone and Paint-collection

Four different features can be applied:

Trail - A trail adjustable with lots of controls (shown in red to the right).

Numbers - All points will be numbered with this feature.

Points - The points can be shown in various ways on the trail (shown in green to the right). You can define them as a shape or an image taken from an Quicktime image sequence.

Markers - A marker can also be defined. This marker can be a shape or an image you can apply.

If you have used the filter version of Trail you can also define if you want to show the source-clip or not. If you turn of the source you will get the same result as if you have used the generator version of Trail.
