Apply StepTime to a clip in your timeline, like any built-in video effect. (Don't know how? Click here to see how to apply and use CreativEase effects.)
Create a custom effect by manually adjusting. Generally the power of StepTime can be most easily accessed
in two steps:
STEP 1. Adjust the effect's tempo. You may find it easiest to set the Tempo value while the effect's preview plays.
STEP 2. Fine-tune the effect's style. Adjust the Style and Blend menus and Hardness slider as desired. Blending the source video and the StepTime effect produces more of a ghosting/echo
look rather than a low
frame rate or stop-action effect.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The StepTime effect combines frames from different times in a clip. It is available only where (and as long as) such frame access is possible (Premiere, After Effects and VEGAS currently). Note that applying the StepTime twice on the same clip can dramatically increase the rendering and response time.
After Effects: A clip's mask and any previously applied effects are ignored when StepTime is applied. The workaround is to pre-render the clip's other effects before applying StepTime.
