Trail

Parameter Type
Keyframeable. For more information, see Global Versus Keyframeable Parameters.
Description
Adds a trail to an effect as it moves across the screen.
  You do not see the trail when you step through the effect because it is a cumulative effect. Also, you cannot render a Trail effect.
  Trail and Shadow (described in Shadow) are mutually exclusive; you can have only one enabled at a time.
Use of Controls
Enable button
Click the Enable button to turn the Trail parameter category on or off. The button is pink when the parameter category is on and gray when it is off. Alt+click (Windows) or Command+click (Macintosh) the Enable button to reset the Trail parameter controls to their default values.

Decay
Move the slider to change the rate of the trail's decay, or dissipation, during the effect's motion. Adjustment ranges from a quick decay (close to 0) to a slower decay (close to 100), where 75 is the default.

Use Sparkle
Click the Use Sparkle button to paint the trail with sparkles. When Use Sparkle is not selected, the effect paints a trail using the image itself. The button is pink when Use Sparkle is on and gray when it is off.
