    What do u mean by different lightsabers? If you mean, two sabers in 2 different colors, my answer is lol. If you mean one saber in 2 different color, my answer is why? But you can do 2 saber rotoscoped layers, masking a line between them and then color balancing.

    Did you read what I said in Sci Fi 3D? Check it agian please.

    EDIT: Just make a new composition for every lightsaber and change the colour balance for each.

    Paste them both on top of the video composition? I don't really understand what you're getting at, in all honesty.

    Put both saber compositions on the composition with your footage. Change the color balance for each one seperately.

    Seriously, did you even try to do it on your own?

    Well it depends what method you are using. If your Ryan Wieber's tutorials then just watch the videos or read them on his website like you did in the first place. He usually explains everything pretty well.

    Simplest terms, you can use the same method you did for one saber on another saber in the same shot.

    Ignore the people mocking you and tell me exactly what it is you did so I know where the problem is.

    Obviously you're making this harder than it really is. Refer to your tutorial and do some reaserch before posting. Because you're probably using a method than has beeen used by many other people. Especailly if your using After Effects.
