The only problem is that you have a shadow of the original tube.

vey good, yet I`m worried about in instant action, will this follow the lightsaber, say if you have a green lightsaber, and your outside, what do ya do!

[lemmonsinmyeyes]

@clubhenco use a purple tube?

Ughh i just thought of this and thought my idea was original.

[TheFXGuy]

I never, EVER would've thought of that. Genius.

Not very good for clips that are actually outside or have any kind of background, but that is still a GREAT method. One thing you could've done is add a Glow to it for color instead of just blurring it and adding color balance.

Thanks you very much n n, well, maybe I could use Glow Effect instead of blurring it but I guess the principal goal here is to get the saber effect with Chroma Keying.

If you liked it please send it to friends :D

Thanks again n n!!
