A tutorial for lightsaber effects.
Be sure to watch part 2!

I made a mistake in the video...
I forgot to mention to keyframe your points before you move them.

This is the link to my video on keyframing your lightsaber...

Important: This effect will not work with footage from the built in iSight camera, because the frame-rate is too low.

  • i need help

    the sliders on the left do not affect the rectangle on the right

    like softness, size, color, and aspect

    does anybody know what to do?

  • make sure your clip is double clicked

  • please help! when i click on the plus to move my garbage mat it will cut me off from moving it after a second or two, and i see you dragging it for as long as you need to. can you please help me?

  • Are you moving your points over one another?

  • the begining was done with live type right? if so how did you get the back round to show up.... when i olace it as a new track or somthing it renders as a black backround, but with the right lettering, please help.

  • when you render you have to select the option to render background

see all
