    There is an easier way to create a lightsaber.
    First I did it like he did (BT: this was the first after effects tutorial i´ve ever seen), but since today I use the Beam Effect for lightsaber! Play around with a few settings and all will work pretty well, and the best is: You just have to animate 2 Points not 4
