05/07/2013

I need help with this. See my video have individual parts that need to have the obscures in it and I can only put one track matte on the first obscure. Does there happen to be a way to trim the solid on the comp window or a way to add more obscures to the light saber effect?

Hi! Your tutorials are amazing! I have completed many tutorials (lynda.com) and now I'm watching all of your tutorials! My name is also andrew :) I know I'm not your level, but wouldn't it be easier to track the first and end point of the saber and give those positions in your preset?

I knew you would do a LS tutorial at some point. As Brandon from Freddiew said, everyone VFX person plays with LS at some point in their life, same with VFX people who do tutorials. haha.

I'm glad i know how to do it without the preset so i dont feel like im cheating myself when i use it. lol

Keep up the good work im learning so much from you and hope to some day be to your level and maybe work along side you on a project.

06/21/2012

i have to one question to you how to we step the plug-in in the after effect .(trapcode)

06/21/2012

YAY IM GOING TO EXPLODE

05/12/2012

I think the file I downloaded is screwed up. I downloaded vc_presets.zip, and then put all the folders into c:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CS5/Support Files/Presets/AndrewKramer/VFX. Then, I opened up AE and tried to test this. It's basically screwed up, because it shows pretty much none of the new features, and when I select it, it states:
After Effects warning: Class 'Effect' has no property or method named 'Perspective'
Expression disabled.

Error occurred at line 3.
Comp: 'goo! lightsaber'
Layer:1 ('White Solid 3')
Property: 'Starting Thickness'

Like Andrew Kramer said, this preset works only on old versions of after effects (6.5 and 7). After effects CS5 is after effects 10. That's why it's not working

06/29/2012

i got the answer for this prob:
had the same problem....you just have to use another language thats all.
in the projectfolder are different versions for the plugin..so try all out one should work fine (testes with AE CS4)

04/20/2012

hey...! try extracting it directly from the zip file to the preset folder...

04/03/2012

I love Andrew! In a very heterosexual way! "Bromance"? yesss thank you

03/22/2012

i discovered that something that goes well with this is a lense flare

02/14/2012

Thanks, now my school project gonna look EPIC!

01/09/2012

where can I download that file?

12/08/2011

when a copy the preset, AE says that's an error, and don't even open it, please fix the preset :(

11/30/2011

please AND. what have i not done right, am useing CS4 but when i copied the light saber to my preset folder it does not apper on the preset window, what should i do?

02/15/2012

i had the same problem as you when i first used this preset
try zooming out of your comp and when you start the light saber preset you should notice that it has spawned itself out side of the frame, to fix just drag it back into the frame

hope this helped
