1. Basics
Light is divided into main body and glow
- Presets: Various preset effects
- Enable Glow: Peripheral Light
- Intensity: Glow intensity
- Diffusion: glow distance
- Bias: Intensity within glow distance
- body size
- Location: starting point and ending point
2. Subject
There are two types of subjects: lines (mask) and text
- There are three types of masks: rectangular tool, pen, adding automatic tracking to the picture (selecting color mode + new layer), splines appearing, and adding Saber
- The text appears directly according to the font shape
- Saber has a big head and a small tail: starting size - ending size
- Smoother: Smoothness
- Make flow: start offset-end offset; mask evolution (mask mode, direction)
- Halo outline, size, feathering: all subject-specific
3. Flashing
Overall flickering effect
- Intensity, speed: adjust flickering
- Mask random: Make multiple rectangles, check them, and the rectangles will flash irregularly (light and dark) (randomly changing to a random seed style)
4. Distortion
Divided into two parts: glow and main body; distortion is both a detail and a disturbance
- Distortion Type: Smoke, Fluid, Energy
- Blend Modes: Distortion and Overlay (Distortion is hugely disruptive)
- Invert: Show direction
- Wind speed, wind speed direction deviation: speed and direction of disturbance
- Noise speed:
- Noise size: when it is very small, it becomes dots
- Noise Bias: Range and glow bias set
- Noise complexity: it’s all about the details
- Noise aspect ratio, blur, random changes: details
5. Glow settings
Detail settings for glow
6. Rendering settings
Configure overall effects and animation afterimages
- Motion blur: moving afterimage
- Gamma, brightness, saturation: overall adjustment
- Alpah addition, synthesis-transparency: change to transparent channel setting
- Alpah mode, invert mask: enable mask (rectangle, text, etc., the effect will appear inside or outside), mask core (glow, etc. are mainly centered on the core, relatively uniform), mask glow (enable Based on the mask, a little glow is added to the outside)
Saber creates business card following effects

1. Tracking
- Create a business card tracking: On the MP4, right-click -> Tracking and Stabilization -> Track Camera. After the analysis is completed, you can add a tracking background to the picture; at this time, a tracking background is affixed to the business card
- Create a new solid color layer and select the 3D layer; now one layer will track the business card;
2. Create a text lighting effect
- On the white background map, add saber, select Text Layer in Customize Core, and select your own text for Text
- Glow Intensity, Spread glow diffusion, Bias glow bias, Core Size
3. Create a dotted edge
- Add a shape, change the stroke to a dotted line, and set the dotted line offset as animation
4. Make a traced Saber stroke
- Make a solid color layer to track the camera
- Make the layer larger and stroke it with a pen
- Join Saber, select Layer Masks, and adjust the effect
Saber creates cool fiber optic special effects

1. Make dots of stars
- Draw the pen, select the mask layer, remove and enable glow
- Increase the distortion intensity, adjust the size, adjust the distortion type, adjust the noise, and make stars appear
- Set the start size and end size; set the start offset and end offset (animation)
2. Create glow
- Create a new Saber, copy the settings of the original Saber, and turn on the glow
