back in highschool i found a MUCH EASIER way to do a lightsaber effect without going frame by frame:
all you have to do is cover the lightsaber in a keyable color like you would a green screen and key it out. underlay a white screen underneath your keyed out layer and blur the edges with a little color.
voila! simple lightsaber effect that saves alot of time and hassle!
I miss the old film riots. Longer skits and less talking. I know it's like a tutorial show but the skits are my favorite parts. Ryan, you should totally make just separate clips of only skits.
I WILL TELL AM MY FRIENDS ABOUT FILM RIOT ..... that kind of message is illegeal in some countries... European countriess :DD .. no shit man, you cant control people like this.. everthing said here is truth
Dear Ryan, can you teach me how to do a lightsaber clash effect and an effect of a lightsaber bur mark like the when Qui-Gonn cut a hole in a door? Please!!!!!!!

star trek is way better in ever way. 1st, it's more realistic. it's pretty much a bunch of naval astronauts, 2nd, it's very well written instead of a bunch of space ninja/knights. 3rd but not least, sci nerds r trying to come up with warp drive, a force field has already been made but a much smaller version, and lastly if u have a itouch phone, pad, screen whatever u can thank star trek for that. god bless star trek and america. u dont see anyone kissing their kid sis in star trek lol

Hey Ryan, I've attempted this effect using everything you've said but unfortunately I only have motion 4. When you talk about pre comp could you give me any advice to how to achieve this effect in motion 4 when it come to the pre comp.
@JakesHouseProduction no. unfortunately it only works on after effect and vegas (and afew othersbut i dont no their names). pinical dosent have layering, masking and frame by frame editing like the others do. its more of a composition thing than editor. what i do is use pinnacle to put all my vids together n then run it through ae.
Yes, but the Andrew Kramer presets look just like that... Presets. Everyone uses them, and they've been overused, try originality. After watching a few tutorials you should be able to know the tools and not need to use presets.
yea, but it's not as efficient since the edges are round. what if you're not using a rounded stick or sword to use as a light saber. And you still have to move the thing frame by frame so it's not that much faster.
Wish I could increase the FPS of my eyes to see those Flashes (Yes I replayed, trying to hit pause at the right moment...*sigh*)
I wonder what is the actual rate an eye captures a "Frame". I bet it captures everything, but our Memory of it is unable to play it back slower.... Oh, to be a Vulcan, I bet they could.
After Effects should cost you around $1000 depending on who and where you buy it... but if you're a bit computer savvy you can always download a cracked version to test out. But always buy the full version if you're gonna make a living out of it!
I'm a bigger fan of Star Trek specifically the next generation but for coolness factor it would have to be Star Wars. Star Trek has nothing that compares to the force or light sabers.
I can watch these videos all day. I'm learning a lot. Keep up the good work guys.
