It's a demo, right?

[@MotionDesigner009]

what is the font used ?

[@chiraggorwadkar3358]

Bro please make tutorial in hindi also if possible

[@vinodbabu4534]

Hi bro please make this video without any plugins

[@chinkinsky05]

Are you kidding me?
I have been trying to make an effect like the blue wave, spent more than 1.5 hours watching different videos, and finally succeed within 10 minutes after watching this video for 5 mins.
Dude you’re too good. 😄

[@mojoober]

Btw, just in case anyone's not aware, in the Saber Effect Controls you can open up the "Render Settings" and set "Composite Settings" to Transparent to remove the solid fill instead of using the screen blending mode. You can also use the add blending mode. Just keep in mind that all of these methods will produce slightly different looks, so play around with it till you get what you like.

[@windvega]

DUDE you are a GOD! HAHAHAHHA Me estuve preguntando como puta hacer para fusionar bien, me solucionaste la vida, thank you mate!

[@mt.bikeher270]

I've used your tutorials a lot, many of them, just wanted to chime in and say thank you.

nice tutorial.

[@shikomartins]

Amazing tutorial, very elegant result.
I have 2 questions:
1 - how can I loop it? Alt clicking on a stopwatch and use loopOut(), ok, but which stopwatch should I click?
2 - it's possible to make the waves react to music?
THANKS!!!!

[@avineshkumar4071]

loved your tutorial.... Is there any way to make it play infinite?

[@shmunkyx]

nice video bro

[@mysticprophecyroblox]

Excellent tutorial! Today is literally my first day using after effects, and yet this tutorial was still in-depth enough for me to make the entire neon effect with no prior knowledge. I also realised that you can change the glow type to different ones (I used proton effect) and it turned out amazingly : )

[@dopemotions]

Great to hear!

[@enricovitali-scienzenatura]

Hello Dope Motion
I'm supposed to make electromagnetic waves hitting a metal plate. To show only the wave without color mask. How should I do?
Kudos to tha channel

[@aljenith911]

What kind of computer do you have, everything is so fast for you?

[@ccuny1]

Love Saber but I never used it in this way. Great tut. Thank you and greetz from France.

[@gasolivafilmes]

cool

[@oleksandrzymnytskyi5819]

I like what you do! Thank you so much!

[@aaronrothwell7615]

I think it works better if you precompose your first 2 waves and then use that for your "floor" reflection, that way if you ever edit the mask paths or animation, everything reflects properly still.

[@wildhearts9006]

Always helpful 🔥🔥

[@esharibstream8017]

love your work...

Simple, but superb! Thanks again for sharing your creativity. Particularly enjoyed the top tip with the camera null to fix the missing floor corner.
Always great fun to follow, top geyser!

[@teutschtyphd9719]

[@arshias93]

How do you get rid of the black background? once I use this effect on an image, it darkens everything but the glow line - therefore my image I am adding it on top of is no longer seen. Help please :)

[@ayoww1000]

Precompose all layers then in blending layer ,select ADD

Nothing happens when I double click on Saber and when I drag and drop the effect on my path it just turns into a big black square? Any help?

[@maxkade9133]

It only works for light people

[@dolbyvid]

Hi , I wasn't able to get a neon effect on my shape after I switched it to a layer mask it was just as it as, What should I do?

[@kylersmith7425]

Make sure your layer is selected before you select the pen tool and make your path. If it isn't, a separate shape layer will automatically be created and it will do exactly what you say your problem is. Also make sure you have your layer selected when you double click the saber plugin as well.

[@dinhstag]

You need to create a solid layer in the beginning with CMD+Y

[@user-rz1xe7zt1g]

omg thank u so much@@kylersmith7425

Alt click on stopwatch icon then type loopOut()

@@ruchirajwar7710 But which stopwatch icon should I click?

Thanks

Hello, I like your work and I want to do the same. I have a question. If I repeat your work for educational purposes and post it on my Instagram page, in order to find a job in the future, do I need to provide a link to your lesson on CZcams?

Great tutorial. But had to fast forward the way too long intro. Almost turned it off because of the length and the volume got way to loud

[@Maskerada-k9g]

Can you do animation tutorials based on the ones available on Behance and Dribbble??

[@HareshPatel]

HI Nikhil
When I rotate the copy for reflection I get a black cut, though its a Screen Mode The reflection is getting cut.
Please help

[@teamiex7660]

If you mean it is not transparent, do "Render Settling > Composite Settings > Transparent" in saber settings

As soon as I add saber effect. the wavy line disappears and all that's left is the Saber vertical line. I've spent an hour trying but I can't figure it out. Can you help?

[@Retired_5-0]

Go to core setting and apply it to layer mask

[@ivan_12345]

what font do you use?

[@rakeshshimpi1198]

Nikhil sir... kya aap after effects ka koi paid course bana sakte hai ..kyunki aap se sikhne ka maza hi kuchh aur hai mai aapki videos repeat mode pe dekhta hu bohot achha lagta hai bhai

[@Joel-uk8ov]

Can we use that plugin to make audio spectrum ?

[@Retired_5-0]

Yes

[@amge9452]

Instead of creating 3D layers for the reflection you could simply keep it all 2D, duplicate the layers and scale in the negative and adjust height in the negative too. Just a thought , keep it up dude

[@dopemotions]

Good point!

[@dido3500]

Could You please create a video for any VFX stuff!🤔

Hi Nikhil,
I tried following the tutorial but am stuck at the very start, I don’t see the path while using the pen tool and upon applying the Sabre effect and setting the core type to layer masks the light saver doesn’t conform to the path. What do I do? I’m confused. A little help would be appreciated😅

[@prasadrode8384]

Even i want to know the same

[@prasadrode8384]

I got it bro.. first create solid then click on solid layer on source panel and then draw a curve by pen tool
