Hey guys I just took this lightsaber effect and brought it ti Galaxy's Edge in Disney World. So watch me show Rey and Chewbacca my true jedi powers!! Here's the link - I know you'll love it! @
Thanks man, theres a lot youtube tutorials out there but they do not give complete details on how to do it, then when I stumbled upon your video and now I understand better!
Great, is there any possibility that you show us a quick tutorial of all functions in the program...I think it is necessary to know basics of the whole program and then advance with those complicated plug-ins...!? Thank you very much!
Change the mode for Advanced Lightning from 'Direction' to 'Strike'. From there, you can add an ending point, such as on the core of a lightsaber. Hope I helped!
Hey, great tutorial. My son is trying to make some SW fanfiction, and is editing is AE. We tried to follow your tutorial step by step, but the problem is that the black solid layer covers the main clip. When we hide the layer the lightning also disappears. What might the issue be? We kind of get stuck at that point.
Your tutorial is (fun, short, and easy) (bonus: no plug-ins/not a d-BAG) Your nailing it!. hollA!! good tutorial! so ive gotten pretty good at photoshop and just recently upgraded to trying to learn video editing. no complaints on your tutorial which is a super fun effect and well explained. I couldn't complete your tutorial which I used... to make jar jar binks throw me into a wall by the way... because I couldn't add the commands... Specifically when we clicked alt exposure then added the wiggle(50,2) command. I couldn't figure out how to do that. you cant enter the text directly next to the effect text and I couldn't figure out how to enter the wiggle command about 4 lines deeper as it appeared in your tutorial. as soon as (ALT-CLICK) became a thing we were doing I could no longer follow. hit me up if you have any time to let me in on how that works. I know its simplish, but im new to the game and that detail eluded me
hello ! why i can't add my curve or any effects on all the layers who are in tracking mode ? i mean you you just bring the curves effects on the lightning and change the colors but me i do it too and nothing happen. do you know why ? thank you
Hey can you help me, when I put the glow effect on my solid layer the ratio of the glow it doesn't change, also when I put the curves after that the color stills the same, can you help me please???
Neo Beis Try setting the blending mode to add. The button should be to the right of the name of the layer, but if it isn't you can right click on the layer name and click on blending options and hit Add
Hello Will, everybody in the comments is wondering how to do the curves and glow. I think we would all appreciate if you could explain how to do it. Thank you in advance.
What should I do if the lighting doesn't move at all when I set the conductivity state to 100, it tracks my fingers but I cant get it to wiggle or move around like lighting should
I’m in the middle of shooting this huge Star Wars fan film. We’ve been working on it for 3 months. Any chance you want to edit? We will give you an opening credit
Same, glow isn't glowing at all barely even at max glow settings. There are like no answers anywhere online so if anyone finds a solution to the glow issue pls respond.
Lol I just use force lightning and record it. These non force sensitives and their photo editing power. JK great job although I didn't understand one bit of it.

Very much appreciate tutorials without a ton of plugins you have to pay for! This was fantastic.
My video production teacher uses your video as a tutorial! That's how good you are at explaining.
FINALLY!!! A lightning tutorial that I can use. Thank you.
Everyone doing this you should put the mode on 'screen' it will make it more realistic and glows and stuff.
The only reason I have after effects is for Star Wars
Same
Very helpful tutorial. I’m just starting out with this software. I’m learning how to do lightning effects for Thor
Thanks man, theres a lot youtube tutorials out there but they do not give complete details on how to do it, then when I stumbled upon your video and now I understand better!
If the glow doesn't work, just go to FILE>PROJECT SETTINGS > COLOR > DEPTH and choice 32bpc
thank you so much man
Can you make a tutorial on how to do this in real life?

Excellent tutorial. Used it to complete an assignment for my After Effects class. Thanks!
Same!!
Sick! I need to try this!
Is there any way for it to begin and end on the screen? For example can i get it to come out of someone's fingers and stop on a liughtsaber?

I'm having this problem as well. Anyone figure it out?
Same...
Try putting it on the black layer and not on the solid layer
Try ticking on the Composite on Original, and then Layer > Blending Mode > Screen.
That worked for me haha
This was an awesome tutorial, thanks!
Need moacha tracking eyes glow
how come the curves aren't working when I add them onto the lightning?
Ikr?
nice work, can't wait to give this one a try
I need help. When i put the black layer on, it doesnt go away like in the video
Neo Beis Try setting the blending mode to add. The button should be to the right of the name of the layer, but if it isn't you can right click on the layer name and click on blending options and hit Add
which version of after effects did you use in this video?

Hey! Coupe you possibly show how to do Harry Potter effects like protego, stupefy or expecto patronum
bro, in 6:14 when you copy the "curves" settings to every layer. What shortcut do you do?
ctrl + d to duplicate and ctrl + c to copy then ctrl + v to paste
Do these come with sound
Thanks!!! That was GREAT!
I’ve learned so many Star Wars effects from you. I can’t wait to use this effect, along with the force push, on my movie making channel
Awesome bro thank you!!!
