SABER PLUGIN DISCONTINUED! Hope, this is a headline we'll never ever read. Because it's really a handy plugin. But what if? I would call Andrew Kramer from Videocopilot personally ;)
A lot of After Effects plugins have been discontinued in the past. That was sometimes the case when After Effects got major updates.
But luckily you can recreate the Saber Plugin. And I dare to say that you can recreate every parameter of Saber. 100% After Effects. No Plugins!
In this After Effects 2020 Tutorial I'm gonna show you which combination of built-in effects I used to get a glow effect as close as possible.
By the way I make use of the new Taper Stroke option in After Effects 2020.

As amazing as this technique looks, it goes to show how good the Saber plugin really is, especially since it is free to the public. As someone once said, a lazy person is always better for a difficult job, because he/she will find an easier way to get it done.

Thank you 😊. Regarding your issue: the trim worked for me. Did you set the calculations effect to “effects&masks”?. Brute force method to fix your problem would be to put your path into a precomp and apply the effects to the precomp instead.

In my plugin free version you can use any shape layer for a logo reveal. Or you can import a vector file that you convert to shape layers. When you use a text layer you have to convert them it to shape layers as well. Then you can use “Trim” operator to reveal the logo/text. This is what I mentioned at the end of my tutorial.

My question is could this tutorial work on After Effects CS6?

@MichaelPonch 4 жыл бұрын

I’m quite sure this works in After Effects CS6. All the effects I mentioned are in CS6. One thing wouldn’t work: the taper stroke option for the stroke I talked about at the end. But it’s not essential

I’m sorry, I have to correct myself. It’s possible in CS6 but not the way you see in this video. It’s because there’s no “effects&masks” option in the Calculations effect. Instead of using the Calculations Effect, it would be better to work with precompositions and multiple layers.

Sorry man, I’m not into hardware I’m afraid. I had my workstation built by a specialist for VFX PCs that was much cheaper than e.g. HP Workstations. What I know is get lots of RAM and at least 2 good graphics cards 😎

I don't have the saber effect in my After Effect but this seems so complicated to me 😩

Actually saber is for free. You can download it on videocopilot.net for After Effects. But if you have premiere pro check out my easy template (my latest video 😎)

I think this is incredible how you figured this out but at the same time... the plugin took 10 seconds to download and is free haha so that now brings up the question to as why?!!?

@MichaelPonch 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely right. When you are happy with what saber offers then the plugin is the fastest way. On the other hand you can explore more individual look than ‘Ah, he did this with Saber’. And my method allows live action footage 😎

Todo bien pero hiciste un monton de pasos y aplicaste otros efectos, cuando con saber se simplifica el proceso, se ahorra tiempo, sobre todo si se tiene mucho trabajo y varias capas, Gracias. Saludos.

Amigo, el titulo dice SABRE, donde tendría que decir SABER...

@MichaelPonch 3 жыл бұрын

You are right, bud. Grammaticaly the spelling is wrong. I don’t know why this plugin is spelled SABER 😂

You don’t have to know everything 😊. Please suggest a tutorial which could be useful for your videos. Could also be theoretical, independent from software, like editing tricks.
