I have a video example of what I'm trying to achieve. I was thinking the drawing canvas plugin could achieve it, but I don't know how to make it gradually erase images rather than clear the whole canvas at once.
I want to achieve an effect like Quick Man has in this video.

You just need to keep track of the last position, and as you move, create a copy that fades away. You can't shortcut this, since you need each image to fade away independently.

I did what you did but created drawing canvases instead and pasted the object in question into it and it worked exactly how I was shooting for. Thanks for the example to point me in the right direction.
