[thefirechaser24]

[1998adam8991]

[wassupyo453]

IS THAT GUY CONSTIPATING????

[beatallhalos]

get a picture of a lightsaber with a black background

use chroma keyer

done

[richw4]

@beatallhalos but why would you chroma key something with a black background when all you need to do is use the 'add' or 'screen' composite mode????

[beatallhalos]

@richw4 You would still see the black but if you chroma keyed it and set the keyer to black then it'll look pretty legit and it would be faster.

[JeffroTV]

I see my schwartz is bigger than yours.....

[c4r50n1]

One way to do it with NO special effect is get a cheap lightsaber toy and have a light shining on the actors.

[iteachvader]

I can't drag a point left and right... it stays in a vertical movement.

[XeniteJB]

Star Wars must have been a BITCH to edit.

[JasonAndOwen]

or you can use motion tracking...? does sony vegas pro have that?

[TeamRedFilms]

@JasonAndOwen no

[oKrytex]

Turn dildo to lightsaber

[dubefest]

EVERYONE LOOK! I KNOW HOW TO MOVE THE POINTS!

what you need to do is:

After you draw the points (and connect them), right click and select DESELECT.

Then you click ALL. Now go to the normal edit tool (cursor button above the pen tool) and click and drag a point.

You're Welcome:)

[richw4]

@dubefest Right at the beginning of the tutorial there is an annotation to a video I made on how to use masks and move points - a lot simpler than you just describe :)

[HardcoreMachinimas]

@richw4 What if you don't have the mask option?

[mrcarbine541]

@richw4 will this work with 10 ?

[DreysIndustries]

@dubefest tk´s



[KuRdKiD13]

[SiggMiseter]

Please answer my question! When I move the dots for the light saber it doesn't let me move the dots verticaly, just horizontally

[richw4]

@SiggMiseter make sure on the left hand side of the Pan/crop window that you have the 'move freely x and y' button checked (it cycles between just horizontal move, vertical move or all)

[royandfrida]

[richw4]

@ckeroable I use Camstudio 2...it's free and really good quality :)

[ckeroable]

@richw4 I use it too but it my recordings dont have the same quality as yours...

[Henke99n]

@ckeroable are you nuts camtasia is the best make shure that you use the techsmith codec

[ckeroable]

@Henke99n yes but if i use techsmith codec, then i wouldnt be able to put the vid in vegas, adobe aftereffects, ect..

[heinygore2]

does anyone know how to stop the mask moving between keyframes?

[richw4]

@heinygore2 right click on the keyframe and set to 'hold' . That will keep the mask in that position :)

[kissmyass112]

[jeffinator12345]

Hey! thanks for uploading this...i just have a question: my lightsaber effect is only showing the generated media effects, not the event FX (neither the Gaussian blur or the glow FX is showing up in the preview renderization). What am I missing?? Right now, my lightsaber just looks like a little white/red blob....very ugly haha.

[SeACt2]

i cant move the points like you do... someone know how?

[SeACt2]

@SeACt2 oh problem solved XD

[reyesryanmjaube]

damn how can i post a video reply. i wanna show you mine. thanks :D

[TimeTravellerTV]

[Personator561]

i dont have a mask box on my pan/crop thingy

[CerebralAssassin1983]

@Personator561 only the Pro version has this.the platinum version doesn't have it.

[hellodarkness84]

Excellent!! Seeing that pool stick reminded me of an idea I had awhile back about filming some pool shooting and using the chroma-key. I don't know how well it would work on the table itself, but I assume that the 3 ball using a red chroma-key then having an under layer with something would be cool. Now if you could get enough 3 balls to fill a whole rack...

[SOSODEAF5]

Me:you have an oldly shaped head

You: THANKS!

Me:WTF

You:Thanks again

Me: For WHAT?

You: For saying ftw

Me: i didn't say that

You:Yes u did wtf is ftw backwords

[JustMeHavingFun1]

Great Tutorial, worked well for me par from it took 1/2 hour to match the mask to my 'stick'. Thanks :D
