video tutorial on how to make a lightsaber effect on your star wars or whatever movie.
It's a nice effect, very easy to do on your pc, only download adobe after effects
tip cheat microsoft MS
thank you very much.. i learnt to do it with this tutorial. (also your video for photoshop ;) ) at first after i exported, always the black solid were coming front of my movie, and i could see only my mask, and black solid. no movie :-s ... later i tried to take out the black solid. and it solved my problem :D now i can see my video.. BUT
but only one question....!
what is the black solid for? :S
first, im lad you liked my videos :D
second, the black solid is only for the part when you put the blur on your 4 white solids, so that you can see how it looks like and if you want to change it, you can. You can take the black solid away if you feel like so, it doesn't matter
third, if you want to keep the black solid, just drag it under your footage on the timeline, so it will be under your video and u wont see it
thank you
thanks from turkey.. you go on. dont give up ;) i will be watching :)

By milestrider 1254260687 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removefor the record, you can find lightsaber sound effects in the form of a soundfont on th web. for reference on which sound to use when, just watch the movies.

After Effects errror: retrieving frame from video stream
:( `the hell is wrong ?
Good tutorial, we need more like these. I used it and some other tutorials to create lightsaber, fireball, lightning, shooting and some other effects. Check it out comment on my first try using these.
By Bertuseng 1219987245 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt doesn't want to change color on color balance, why?
By Tobba92 1213291743 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethis looks pretty awsum, uv made it reeli easy mite give it a whirl but i was wondering where you got the soundfx for the lightsaber from? if you downloaded them could you give a specific name/ keywords that would be great!
By hairyboy_6 1211309207 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSomeone has unfairly rated my homegrown Star wars CGI short as 1 star (It's my only rating) Please watch and give an honest rating - just need some more ratings to average out - It's called DROID RAGE. Thanks and may the Force be with you!
By stopmotion8 1194566709 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHey man, great video, but my trial account with Adobe After Effects has expired, and I need a keycode to continue. How do I continue to make lightsaber movies after AE isnt any use, is there another program that will do a similar thing, or can i download it again from the site to get another 30 days...? Can anyone please get back to me?
Thanks,
r4z2
Well, it's not AS good, but if you google "LSmaker", and download it from their page, you can make more lightsaber videos.
By generalbeaner 1197846327 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removebut it takes alot of time to that :S

By darkday_93 1181413423 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehow do i get the sound ?
By darkday_93 1181404252 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeok, so i've tried your tutorial, and many others, and in after effects, the video looks fine, but when i export it, its completly mested up. then lightsaber is way slower than the actual footage, do you know why this is?
By rellified 1181359978 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhat is the name of the program ?
By darkday_93 1180541489 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhen I rotoscope, after I get about 10 frames deep and check back to the beginning, the first masks are off either left and right or top and bottom, they arent sticking to where I put them. Any idea why?
By Citsur86 1180039404 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removedouble-check that you have the stopwatch turned on for that layer for the 'mask shape' property.
I know this works! Keep trying.
Great tutorial...I have question...I have done everything in the video but I cant seen to let my saber change colors.....i have followed all your instructions....i must add that I am using Adobe after effects 7.0 and I have it installed on Windows Vista...thbaks for the tutorial.....also were can I find more good tutorials like that one.....keep posting videos they are good......
By DigiLusions 1177512078 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeso freaking great!!! but i dont get on wich solid you the the mask? i do it on the white but it still doesn't looks like yours! please answer
By MagicGenie 1176112256 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removefriend.. i started to this program after seeing your video.. actualy i had it, but didnt know what for, and how to make it work. now i can do something what i want to. just want to thank you again :D.. if you check my videos, you can see what i did.
success
What Format Should The Video Be In ?
Mpeg Or What ?
Great tutorial, I did what you said and am almost finished but have hit a brick wall. Somewhere along the way I accidentally must have changed the composition white layer size. Now if I change the composition size to fit comp all the hard work I have done with the mask will be severly messed up (light sabers in incorrect places). What can I do? I can't start again.
Thanks for your help.
Should also add that I need the composition to be bigger now because when my saber is on the far left of the screen the mask is clear not white because the white layer composition is not big enough. I'm really stuck. Thanks.
By DaveHHH1 1173399462 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYeah, this way works, but theres a better way.

Now this is the type of tutorial that I love to see. Good work dude!
By Ziggenx 1172465570 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removego to www.fxhome.com they have this program called vision lab or effects lab. I tried the demo and let me tell you it is cool. You can make any movie you want even a starwars movie.But it's a demo so you can't really try it but you can buy the vision lab for $499 or you can by the effects lab for $139.
By whittier 1172199652 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei think iv followed the tutorial like u said, made the 2 solid layers, made the mask in the white layer, which is now in my footage which is good. selected the stop watch symbol like u said, went to next frame, adjusted my masks position, went to next frame etc. but when i tried to play my footage the mask stayed static in same position, didnt move. any idea what im missing?
By mem_aryan 1170690991 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewell, the only thing i think could have happened is that you pressed the wrong stopwatch... make sure you select the stopwatch for mask 1 on the white solid. If that doesnt work i dont think i know what it is... tell me if this helped or not
By thetunney 1170717009 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeis very much appreciated, i still cant get it to work unfortunately, but will see what i can find in the program's tutorial
