	Looks good. Anyone know how to translate that tutorial for Combustion? -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=23892791&brd=10477&start=25017068 The Force Legacy Saga - Part 1: Relics of Fate Latest Update 09-14-06 Chapter 4: A Hop, a Skip, and a Jump.

	Sorry I couldn't post later... That was a interesting tutorial there, Ryan. I like the way this one works a lot better than the other one. Just a suggestion, but maybe you could make a more, uh, in depth tutorial for lightsaber curves, because a lot of people don't understand how to do that yet... Nice job! -----signature----- Working on rotoscoping my LCC4 Entry 3. A couple more fight scenes to do, then the closeups and wide shots. Lightsaber Sound FX Uber Addict!

	Wouldn't that simply require a better understanding of masks? -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=23892791&brd=10477&start=25017068 The Force Legacy Saga - Part 1: Relics of Fate Latest Update 09-14-06 Chapter 4: A Hop, a Skip, and a Jump.

	I just realized, if you like this method, and you already have a movie made with the old method, all you gotta do is take the rotoing layer, add a couple of adjusment layers, and boom, you got the new method. -----signature----- aim/videomik3 http://www.MichaelFrisk.com It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way. -Aristotle

	Yes, it is a lot easier than the previous one. I'll have to adjust the settings to my liking. -----signature----- Working on rotoscoping my LCC4 Entry 3. A couple more fight scenes to do, then the closeups and wide shots. Lightsaber Sound FX Uber Addict!

	Top notch as always, Ryan! The only downside... now I'm gonna have to find some footage to try it out on... lol.. I especially like that last bit about actually being able to (easily) roto WHILE the glows are visible, so you can see what it's going to look like while you're working... awesome stuff! -----signature----- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Have you seen my baseball?!"

	Brilliant Ryan. Just watched it and found many of those new tips to be very ehlpful. Any advice for when the shots are at night? -----signature----- Aaron Greer-Director/Writer/Producer http://www.nexthorizonfilms.com/ "I'd rather direct than produce. Any day. And twice on Sunday."

	Thanks for the new tutorial/method Ryan. The bonus to the new method that I see is that now if I have to fix the size of the saber core, I dont have to delete the previous glow layers that I made and re-duplicate the new ones. I can do it all in one shot! I dont know if you meant to do it or you spat it out spontaniously....but before I watched this, I was thinking you were gonna take a jab at ILM somewhere in there! -----signature----- * SIMPSON QUOTES * Maude: We're talking about S-E-X, in front of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N!

	toocoolkid posted: that tutorial rocks even though it is a longer process than your old one. it is the first video tutorial that shows you how to do two lightsabers!! I dont think its a longer process.. in fact, you save a lot of time for the future if you wan't to tweak an specific frame where the mask didn't look OK... -----signature----- My own tutorial organization: http://www.manger.cl/tutorials.htm

	Ryan, did you try this with gaussian blur? It's not working with gaussian blur because it fades out on the ends when the saber gets near the edge of the screen. I have after effects 6.0 pro so maybe things are different in 6.5.

	That's in FAST blur, not gaussian blur (unless they added that in 6.5).
