I know I'm years late, but this is a God send. I remember rotoscoping lightsaber effects in film school painstakingly frame by frame. This saves so much time.

[@izzfoshizz9982]

I'm 2 minutes in. This is the most entertaining tutorial I've ever seen, hands down.

[@PattyMoves]

Hey I have an big issue when it comes to import the plugin into the latest 22.6.0 after effects version? Do u maybe know hot to solve it? Would be much appreciated

[@MusicForHourss]

I have 32 gb of ram and a 3770x but still I can't even get 720p 30fps at half to play right..

Oh btw I'm that one guy, actually I'm two people that have been spending hours doing this the hard way and pulling our hair out trying to put sabers behind objects. You are a magnificent dude, thanks again.

[@RobertAnderson238]

This plugin is excellent. I just taught three 5th graders how to build their lightsaber effects for a video in under 20 minutes. They're so excited. Thanks Video Copilot!

[@thenerdherdforum]

Dude, I can't thank YOU enough for my having a successful career in the motion graphics and video production industry. If it weren't for what I learned from you years ago I would never be where I am today. So thank YOU!

[@lopetonceba1059]

Wow! Man he really did that for you , than i can't wait to get started. All the best in what you doing and VIdeo Copilot has got me twisting my head with his effects.

[@ashhasacamera]

What do you do if the saber goes behind you? How do you keep the glow but just cut the saber a bit?

[@stickmanland]

Duplicate the footage and mask yourself out

[@tristanmartineau863]

And the fact that you can copy and paste the effect between masks is incredible. Great job on this!

[@EdEditz]

Congratulations on 10 years of Video Copilot! I remember finding this site way back when I was using AE CS3 in 2008 and I learned everything I needed to know about After Effects from the VC site. This plugin is amazing! Especially for many Harry Potter effects. (I bet the makers of those movies wished they had this plugin when they needed it haha :) ) I can't believe (and am very thankful) that you're putting this out there for free.

[@rezo856]

This is one of the best After Effects Plugin What I Ever Seen. Andrew Kramer You Really Are The Best. You Are The Master Of After Effects. I Want You To Be My Real Teacher In After Effects.

[@Mn8Multimedia]

You are a blessing, and will always be one of my biggest heroes. I love your work, and your tutorials, they have helped me through the years as an animator. I am proud to be following you during these last 10 years, and also looking forward to what you bring to the world in the future you are helping to create! This SABER plugin is amazing, thank you so much.

[@Mn8Multimedia]

Wow, here I am 8 years later. Just downloaded Saber again, and going through the tutorials, and I see my comment here from all those years ago. Thanks! Anyone have any feedback on how to create a lighting effect with this? Trying to figure it out now for a Zeus lightning effect from his hand.

[@caitcancreate]

I learned how to navigate After Effects through you. Your time and effort in this channel is invaluable. Saber is a dope plug in with so much potential.

[@michalstefaniszyn5465]

This is the most beautiful piece of work I have seen! The simplicity is refreshing and the final outcome is astonishing! This is amazing!!!!

[@milhouse777]

WTF how someone can dislike this? awesome plugin Video Copilot Guys! thanks

[@overseerfx]

+Jerry Leon (Leonanim) Yeah... what the internet needs right next to the "like" button, is a "go away" button. For those kind of people.....

don't worry Kramer the best moment about this planet effect is that you never gave up. you kept on making it better and you have done it buddy😁. God is for you.

[@musicdimension3185]

Just amazing! Don't know how to explain how much helpful this is. It's been 4-5 months since i had been working with this plugin and it is keeps surprising on each new project i'm working. Thanks a lot.

[@DeviantPicturess]

Thank you Andrew! Your plugins are shaping industry and I love where you're going with this.

Congrats to your 10th anniversary! Man, this plugin is the absolutely midblowing definition of awesomeness! Thank you so much for creating this! You´re the man! :)

[@themedievalbrick]

I liked how when you talked,about light, the music was building up and it was dramatic, but then then you were like, "yunno" and ruined the drama.

Still gold. Andrew's the GOAT.

[@Markkfg]

Absolutely awesome, thanks Guys!

[@mattisland]

I dont understand how such an epic and powerful plugin is free!!! Thanks Andrew !

[@MrDox90]

My god, it has so many options and features. I can only imagine how much effort someone put into the code behind it all. And it's FREE?! Wow, just wow. And people charge for Photoshop slider presets.... This is beyond amazing.

[@matthewmanucci]

I remember following your tutorials from your website. rotoscoping frame by frame back when I was 13 years old. Glad to see you're still at it!

[@Chocolateness2000]

And it was fine.. at first... But then I became obsessed. The light, the energy... It's all I could think about. Where did it come from? How does it work? Can it lift me from this darkness. Impressive! The plugin was good too..

[@EnterprisezJ]

Hello, a little question about Saber - how could I make a 3d perspective distorion of the beam? When one end of the lightsaber is really close to the camera and the other end is really far from the camera.

[@betraid]

2022 behind the window, and Saber still rocks, what a instrument for years:)

I may have figured this out. Try reinstalling but when it gets to the select which version screen uncheck the 17 and steer it towards the right path on your computer. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2020\Support Files\Presets After that, I reloaded After Effects and there it was. Hope this helps. If it works please follow my Instagram @kayokane and subscribe to my youtube channel Thank you

[@moosedraw3731]

"It's so dense" ahahaha.

[@udmmusic6052]

To be honest this is a really cool plugin and appreciate you giving out to your community for free. But, there is a downside to such a powerful plugin which gives you everything in 1 hand and that is you loose the sense of fun to create things in after effects which is why I started using After effects to begin with. The hardwork just to create a a beautiful 5 second video with glowy effects and smoke and everything which was achieved by pure imagination and the use of after effects core system. This takes the fun out of it all.
