how to use the renderlayers and make this render my video and not the scene (3d animation)?!?!
Mr Profit. I'm very new to blender, I'm still in process to learn blender just by YouTube videos that's it. Can you please help me. Since I found your videos actually easier than other channels you are my only hope here. Sir, please help me out, after tracking a video what are those boxes and doing this 'matching the following thing' is?? I wanna add objects in video.. Can't get to it by myself.
Greetings. I've used your method on several scene clips and seems to work out great. I am having trouble in one scene clip where the camera moves backward on a gimble. It appears that prior to adding the mesh, that the motion tracking in spot on and the bone stretch is spot on. The issue I'm having is that when the mesh is placed and parented with motion weights, as the camera moves backwards, despite that the bone previously would shrink to scale as distance increases, it stops doing that and the light saber remains the same scale despite the background shrinking with distance. Is there an easy way to make the lightsaber stretch to match the stretch deformity of the bone properly?
I should learn from you earlier! Thanks
How to render the movie??
hello, i have a problem. I have two points and use the stretch to modifier, but my szene beginns with the guy being in the background and comes closer to the camera, but the bone is only stretched and not scaled at all, this makes his weapon (in this case a rifle) extreamly stretched and long. please help đ
He doesn't use prefetch
the strech to method does not give you a good result, it streches it sometimes to points where it just looks horrible
The force is strong with this one
Thanks to your wonderful tutorials for visual effects in blender, I could make this video as a beginner in blender. https://youtu.be/VtlNoETgnvk
Can you also do a tutorial on force lightning?

Need help will this keep any audio and does it work for fast motion
16:51 full focus at the green arrow
you could have used prevouse frame instead of keyframe
amazing tutorial…
loved it…
best for me…
I don't know if its just on my computer, but when i try to open the footage he used, i don't get a video but a foto for every frame. Does anyone else have this problem?
kenan proffitt i motion tracked the stick of my video and it was done perfectly… but when I added materials and composited everything but my render 'lightsaber' was not on my stick and was off…pls help…pls…pls anyone!
good video, think you got confused while node editing, which is my problem too
Pls make a video on how to render blender videos
SUCH A GOOD VIDEO! KEEP DOING MORE PLEASE, just a suggestion, sometimes the sound isn't as clear which makes it kinda hard for me to understand (my personal opinion) but other than that, the vids amazing!
Is there a way to make the lightsaber's glow interact with its environment somewhat, like illuminating the guy's face and so forth?
this vid is really helpful
Very thoroughly explained and got straight to the importants. Thank you so much. Great tutorial! đ
my camara did not change
14:11
Heh Heh
And then Video Copilot made Saber and rendered this tutorial obsolete~ đ
Awesome tutorial! I subbed! However, for some reason, my mesh won't follow the bone. When I click "with envelope weights", The bottom end of my mesh does follow the bottom empty, but not the top end. I know I have followed your steps exactly, maybe the fact that I have blender 2.78a might be the problem?
"hmm…these bricks are infused with the dark side of the force… how is that possible ?" , great tutorial thanks , may the fork be with you
hey i am new to blender, and a couple nights ago, my friends and I filmed a fight scene. we used long rulers in the fight scene, but we want it to look like lightsabers. is it possible to use this same technique in a short fight scene?
This is a really good tutorial, please make more.
Thanks so much! I am a brand-new Blender user, and I created the following video using your tutorial for Christmas, https://youtu.be/z8QSaCcB6No Our family and friends were asking me where to buy these amazing light sabers!
