 Hello everybody! Welcome back to another Adobe After Effects tutorial and this one's going to show you how to create Neon text and animate it using the free Saber plugin by the guys over there at Video Copilot. It's free to use and the link is in the description below. Let's start from scratch. It takes less than two minutes or so. So here we go. Everything's gone. First step, grab your type tool after you've set up a new composition and then type in whatever you want it to say. I'm going to write Neon. That sounds good and I'll just move it somewhere in the center and presto. The next step is we're going to layer new solid and we're going to create a black solid. It doesn't matter but black works for me. Create that and then just add it in real quick. Now head over to effects and presets panel. If you don't see it, just go to window. Make sure there's a check mark beside it and then type in the word Saber like I've done here. When you do that, you'll see Saber under video copilot. Drag and drop it onto the black solid, not onto the text layer, the black solid and you get this beginning of this isoramon type looking thing going on here. All right, that's where we want to be. Now drop down into your effect controls panel and the first thing we're going to do is we're going to customize the core. Now the core type is set to Saber by default. Switch that to text layer and then under text layer change it from none to neon and now you're going to get this heavy duty bright neon effect and maybe that's what you're going for but unlikely. So if you want to go ahead and reduce that just go ahead and reduce the glow bias a little bit. I'm going to drop it down to let's say 0.3 for this one but again you guys can adjust it as you see fit. You can also reduce the spread depending on the effect that you're going for. Feel free to try out all these different options, the intensity but again for this one we'll go with something like this. I want to show you now how to animate it. So we've got it applied. The animation is very very simple while you're still under customize core go down here and you're going to see make sure your play heads at the beginning part of me. Now check click on the stopwatch beside end size and end offset. These are the two that matter. Set them both to zero actually. Let's go and at the beginning set them to zero and then move forward to say two seconds or so and then just set them to 100%. It's nice and simple. You can actually go over 100% for end size but we'll go with 100% for this one but again you guys can experiment with this as you see fit. Now let's take a look at what we got. We have a cool animated neon text effect inside Adobe After Effects with the Saber plugin and again try out some of all these other different options down here to get the exact look you're going for. Thanks for watching.
