amazing dude incredible way of giving a tutorial
by Paul Martinez 04/09/2008
I was wondering, is there a way to chain the start and end points to a motion tracking layer? May be tape the top and bottom of the sabers with a solid color and track those points....maybe?

hey, i got this thing unziped and in my documents but i dontknow how to copy it onto after effects

can you help me please?

"Where do I put the presets?" - Heres an answer for you guys.Video Copilot even has a demo on where to put the presets...otherwise copy and paste them in the plug-ins folder.

Please watch the vid Andrew made especially for inserting these presets. Yes it's in the free preset download section. Just remember after you paste them into the plug in folder, you need to restart AE.(AFTER EFFECTS)

Thanks for all your help online...but I have a problem. I downloaded your presets and put them in the preset folder. When I went to use the lightsaber effect the saber control area says Missing:Saber_Control and the saber does not appear on the screen. What do I do?

Hi,

I tried to use your presets in AE 7, but my Vista won't let me so I tried it with the newest version CS4, but there I have a missing effect and the lightsaber will become really big (no chance to configure it right because of the missing effect). You don't have any version for CS4 or at least for CS3?

By the way you did a great job with this lightsabers, I just have to get this effects!

by Frankie 11/25/2008
