STAR WARS
Hey, I’ve made a small clip for a friend who wants to be a jedi, I’m at the point to make his lightsabre glow.
I wanted to know if the only way to make it, is frame by frame or is there a faster way?
I have a moving backround with many different colors so auto tracing is not possible.Thanks for your help!

track the top and bottom or batch out a sequence into photoshop.
frame by frame is the best way to do it and it really doesn’t take that long — its just annoying.Nicholas Toth

Motion tracking the effect point of the BEAM effect would be faster. Perhaps try a search of the archives here first and see if anyone has tips on how to do it.

Most people I’ve seen do lightsabers use classic roto techniques. But make sure your mask incorporates the motion blur from your sword you shot. Rather than trying to ignore the motion blur.
