    Very nice. Personally I use after effects with the saber plugin, but a free alternative does sound rather enticing

      As a user of hitfilm until my birthday (when I get Adobe Creative Cloud) I can officially say he uses light sword ultra which isn’t free
      The regular light sword effect is though

    • @jaydengillies
      @jaydengillies 3 роки тому

      you should use the same technique as him but in after effects, the saber plug in is really limited for some shots.

      You mean the Hitfilm app? if so yes, there's a setting in the lightsword effect called "stability", you just raise that to about a 50. If you are talking about a different app, I'm not 100% sure so it would be tough for me to say anything of use. Hope this helps.
