Need help creating a movie with sabers
Hi, i am using adobe aftereffects to try and create a movie that will be shown next year for a class gathering. I am trying to create a saber battle. the issue i have is that the saber rotoscoping is intensely time consuming for a video which is 10 minutes long, which is what i am trying to create. therefore i downloaded and used for a 15 second (a 1 hour task…) video Andrew Kramer’s saber preset. this made the task easier, but it looked unrealistic compared to many other videos ive seen, such as ryan vs. dorkman.
What is the most effective saber method?
also, is aftereffects the most effective editing program for sabers or should i use vegas pro?is there maybe some sort of program that would allow me to use like a green stick (since i heard that green is used in greenscreens, etc.) and the program would superimpose a saber over the stick and it would track the sticks movement. is that possible?
must i rotoscope everything? -

Tracking the sabers will most likely not work because of the high motion the Saber will be to blurry. also one way to do it is use the andrew kramer preset to rotoscope and then use the ryan vs dorkman method. heres his sites link https://www.ryan-w.com/ryan-w/index.html hes got a tutorial there, although he uses masks just use ak’s preset and
pre-comp it and and duplicate blur, however it goes.
