How do you do 2 sabers at once? Do you have to only make one at at a time, save the video then add the other?

@edvine20123 No you're not stupid lol,I took forever to figure out too. What you do is go to the mask opacity settings by clicking the mask arrow for the options and then you can press the stopwatch button right next to it. then you just keyframe it so when you need it gone you just set the mask opacity to 0% then when you need it set it to 100%. As for the extending you would just go to mask path and go frame by frame and extend it. Hope it helps!
Thumbs up so other people can see?

Thanks!!
Hi! I've been doing a test video and it works. But I'm not so good in after effects. I'm more used to Photoshop. I can't find any video that shows me how to simply make the saber disappear in the middle of the video. I can't find a way to stop the saber effect. I want to make a video of the saber coming out of the handle/grip and then back in to the handle/grip. How do I do that? Or am I just stupid?

That was the most simple and effective lightsaber tutorial I've come across.
Thanks
