Lightsaber effect
PLEASE HELP. so i just started getting into vfx and i figured a good way to start is to make a lightsaber video. i looked at a tutorial by bouchandre on youtube and followed the masking instructions to the letter, and when it came to pre-composing my white masks so i can add color later, the saber effect(in this case its white because i haven’t added color yet) just disappears. i tried rendering the whole video but when i open up the video, all of the effcts OTHER then the masks for the lightsaber(basic color correction, cinematic black bars) are seen but i just see the plastic saber i started with, and my effect is lost. how i can i fix this? i click precompose and when bouchandre did it the effect stayed, but when i did it it dissapered. please help, i’ve gotten really frustrated about this because im such a newbie haha.

Mr. Jordao try to use Video Copilot’s Light Saber Preset. Its is very easy than using mask shapes and gives you better results.
Here is the link:
