Leaving an Animation Trail

You can cause the map layer, text item on a text layer, image on an image/movie layer, or drawing on a shape layer to leave a trail as it animates by choosing the appropriate option from the Trail drop-down menu in the Trail section of the Properties panel for the layer.

For example, you could leave a trail behind an image of a plane to show the route of a journey:
