Yup. Lightsaber tips. Hey, Zach, maybe I want a juddering track because I'm trying to recreate the look of the ORIGINAL films (before all the lightsaber shots were redone for all the Special Editions, which are, most likely, the only versions you've seen.)! 👍😁😉😉😆 Actually, I've never done a complete lightsaber shot. Think I did a couple of seconds of one to train someone else, but that was the old school method of hand roto on a plane... A method for which Axel did a tutorial long ago...
Is there also some kind of effect so you can overlay an Eskrima stick (pretty much a rattan stick) with those effects, so you can film some real fencing sequences and then overlay the entire thing accordingly to make it look like a lightsaber duel, or do you have to carry some some kind of shadowboxing kind of motions against each other, without no real impact to the weapons, whatsoever? I am asking for a friend...
Hey! Fxhome at motions tracking the motion blur in my video kills all tracking 😞 it just can get the tracking please recommend some tips to avoid motion blur in video
@@FXhome Thanks oli but most of the time I shoot at 1920×1080 at 60fps, ISO=200 and shuterspeed 1/120 but still at last I get a motion blur which is total imposible to track 😥
@@FXhome Hey, I've heard that the reason that motion tracking doesn't work with fast motion if because of blur, but my lightsaber videos are stop-motion animated, so there is no blur, and it still doesn't track it! is there something that I'm doing wrong, or can it just not track ANY fast motion, blurred or otherwise?
@@Samdeeshh The shutterspeed is your problem. Crank the shutterspeed up real high (towards 1000) and the motion blur will disappear, but you might have to adjust the other settings to compensate for how dark it will get.
You sound like the type of guy that plays d&d. I sledgehammer the goblin in the face! Roll for attack damage!! 3? Damn! As you raise up your sledgehammer it is too heavy for you and it falls on your head and cracks your skull. Well shucks!
Increasing shutter speed will make the video darker but have less motion blur. Decreasing will make the video brighter but have more motion blur. I advise having your shutter speed but as close to double the frame rate your recording in as possible. For example, when I’m recording in 24 fps it looks best when my shutter speed is at 50. 48 shutter speed is what I want since it’s double of 24 but the closest I can get on my camera is 50.
Can't do anything like this any more, as the last update you offered me keeps crashing my PC every time I try to open it. Would've thought that a long-standing customer (of well over a decade) wouldn't have to deal with such sh*tty things ... and don't ask me to submit a crash report, as I've sent four of those things over the last two months with absolutely no response from your company. May be time to vote with my feet, I think.
This tipps are much helpul. But is it also possible to track the mask woith moka hitfilm? In the video was auch dark background mentioned and this remembers me on the video that Javert creats one year ago. In this he shows how to create a Magic Energy Ball VFX with the Particle Simulator (m.th-cam.com/video/_eAFpKtpmQE/w-d-xo.html). In this Video was a nice black background used that was created with unreal engine 4. When this lightsaber video addressed the dark background, I remembered it. However, there was never a video that showed how the background was made, although the background looks really great and is pretty basic so you can use it in many videos. That's why I wanted to ask if a tutorial for absolute beginners could be made about how the background was maded.
i considered tracking at some point but gave up quickly, in any fight shot, with a bit of movement, and on top of that more than 1 blade... yeah, i doubt it can really work.
They're showing the more advanced version because the technology has improved over the years and so they can make them look better (or idk maybe they are just making the same videos but I really hope that's not the case)
@@sophiequiche I have never seen a tutorial on Boris FX including the title studio. From day 1 fx home released HF pro with that product there was never a proper tutorial
Sorry, this is my first time seeing this channel. Is this dude for real or is he playing a character?
Ikr? He might be cosplaying
You’re so talented! Love your videos ☺️💕

The ORIGINAL original film, A new Hope in 1977 used Retro-reflective blades. Corridor Crew made a great video explaining about that.
This dude's voice. Wow.
Thanks brother
You're welcome!

Yeah! like it
really good for a fan movie
Amazing! Love this channel

Can you do a Hawkeye arrow effect?
Better than Disney
300 movie tutorial please
This was so brief, it doesn’t really explain to a newbie how to do what your talking about. Do you have more in depth tutorials on the subject?
I would love to see a sharper tip in the lightsaber preset. Is it possible to learn this power?
you don't need to track u can simply luma key it
his voice is so calm compared to his face

Shooting at a higher frame rate will reduce motion blur 😊

Can you please make a video on how to use the motion tracking with hitfilm express
You can find a tutorial on motion tracking here: th-cam.com/video/brA-Bmk5V1U/w-d-xo.html

just put the fries in the bag bro
Ah motion tracking has saved me soooo much time
Would be good if he actualy showed us how to do stuff and nothing was really clear. I prefer using AE with the saber plugin.
Does anyone here know about shutter speed of camera, how does it matter?
Increasing shutter speed will make the video darker but have less motion blur. Decreasing will make the video brighter but have more motion blur.

How do you do a battle with motion tracking
Where did you get that lightsaber from?

Excellent tutorial!

Using CGI is another mistake. Why use it when dueling Lightsabers are better?

Um what the sigma
'Realistic'
To be fair, this isn't a billion dollar studio that has as much resources as Disney and other big movie studios do but I think it still looks cool
@@sophiequiche No, I mean how can a lightsaber be realistic
The effect is amazing
@@Justakidthatrantsisapimp oh ok lol
your voice is unbearable
Bro sounds like he's plugging his nose 💀
Why this has been done already....do something new
They're showing the more advanced version because the technology has improved over the years and so they can make them look better (or idk maybe they are just making the same videos but I really hope that's not the case)
Feel free to suggest a topic at any time!
