Everyone…just download Video Copilot’s Lightsaber pulgin…alot easier, and alot better quality…
I give you props for taking the time for making this…but I know for unpatient people like myself, it’s alot more easier, practical, and alot less time consuming to use a plugin that will produce superior quality than this tutorial or just about any other.
great video dude
THATS AMAZING!!!
were do you download it to do all that
what is the name on the real video?
is it easier with sony vegas ?
I need help i have my after effect all done but the audio that was in the video my voice and such doesnt show up in after effects how do i fix that also, im trying to upload my after E up onto youtube how do i go about doing that
do i have to go frame by frame?
answered?
music is to loud.
it took me hours to figure out the audio stuff..
after you finished making your movie, pick:
compose > add to render queue
then click on the word “Losless” next to “output module”, choose custom and put a V next to the audio at the bottom.
and to upload it to youtube, just upload the video you make (stupid question)
love the music what is the name?
I tried this…it won’t work…mask path only moves it around, you can’t change it’s shape. So I tried to use mask expansion and that worked but it wouldn’t change for each frame. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
i have a couple of questions:
1: Is this also possible with adobe after effects cs4?
2: can you just upload a movie in it and the program seperates it in frames?
In the File Section of Aries-Films you can download everything you need to create your videos and go even further. Just google for Aries-Films…

MUSIC IS SO ANNOYING!
its too bad that horrible music drowns out everything you say….what a waste
Three things for you.
1) don’t play music while doing a tutorial
2) fir mac use ishowu for a screen recorder
3) instead of going frame by frame you can just motion track it
