Image Trail: a cursor-style trail of images
A path draws a looping figure and drops a card each beat, leaving a shrinking trail.
Opens in the studio with sample work. Free at 720p.
How Image Trail moves
Image Trail traces a looping path across the frame and drops a small card at every beat, so your images pile up behind it in a trail that shrinks away at the tail, much like the cursor trails on portfolio websites. Trail length, card size and how much each card pops in are adjustable. Twelve slots. A playful option for illustration, photography and studio sites at 16:9.
In the studio you can tune its 5 settings along with the background, shadow and loop length, and your images never leave your device.

Add your work
It starts with 12 spots for images or short videos. Empty spots repeat your images, so a few are enough.
