if you are looking for that EXACT effect, it's done using a plugin called Saber. This plugin is used in After effects.

#

The plugin is free

#

I tried to install it

#

But I cant

undone umbra Jun 17, 2024, 2:17 PM

#

And you are using after effects not photoshop correct?

lyric warren Jun 17, 2024, 2:17 PM

undone umbra Jun 17, 2024, 2:50 PM

#

wohoo

#

ok so after you have installed the saber plugin for ae, the preset you are going to want to use is called energized

#

lyric warren Jun 17, 2024, 2:51 PM

#

Where do I find Saber plugin?

undone umbra Jun 17, 2024, 2:51 PM

#

did you download it already?

#

or not yet

#

undone umbra Jun 17, 2024, 2:51 PM

#

https://www.videocopilot.net/dl/zu2TeXAuyz/

#

plugin download ^

#

close out ae

#

and then install that

#

after install, open ae back up and create a new composition

#

once you have typed out your text on a text layer, create a new solid layer and apply the effect saber from the effect tab at the top of the screen, saber will be most likley at the end of the list under videocopilot

#

now click your solid layer with the saber effect and after selecting the preset energize, change your color to your desired. If you are looking to get a little more glow, tweak your glow bias setting. To set your core to a text, scroll down to core customization or settings (i forgot lol) and make it a text layer, setting your source layer as the text layer you typed out.

#

to remove the black background from the saber layer, scroll down in the saber effect settings to your render options, i beleive it's at the end, and change to transparent

lyric warren Jun 17, 2024, 2:57 PM

#

#

So i put the text

#

like this?

undone umbra Jun 17, 2024, 2:57 PM

#

perfect yep, now create a new solid layer

#

and apply the saber effect to the SOLID layer not the text

lyric warren Jun 17, 2024, 2:59 PM

#

Sorry i'm completely new to this where to I create a new solid layer

#

New composion?

undone umbra Jun 17, 2024, 2:59 PM

#

no worries, just right click on your layers box at the bottom left corner

#

or go up to layer at the top, new, solid layer

#

not a new compostion, that's different

#

#

#

OOPS

Yes, you can composition > save frame as file

that will save your entire comp

#

that's a little diff

#

once you start playing around a little more with the plugin you will get the hang of it. Andrew Kramer has a great video on it, but i have always preferred to self teach myself

lyric warren Jun 17, 2024, 3:18 PM

#

#

any way

#

to retun back

#

if I make

#

a misstake

#

Like in photoshop

#

You can go back

undone umbra Jun 17, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

yes just save your comp

#

and then you will be able to edit in ae

#

just re-export your frame when you make changes

#

when you go back into ae, just hit open recent

you are also able to save presets of the ones you make by going to animation> save preset

lyric warren Jun 17, 2024, 3:22 PM

#

I fixed it

undone umbra Jun 17, 2024, 3:22 PM

#

if you are looking to change the smoke effect around the glow, that would be under distortion > glow distortion

#

if you are looking to change the lightning like electricity it's under distortion > core distortion
