If you have seen that star wars kid movie clip thing then you know what im taking about. he was spinning around with a broomstick then he put it on the computer and put a lightsaber light on each side of the pole on his computer so it looked like darth mauls light saber. how do i make something like that? how would i add a lightsader to the end of a pole in a movie editor? what do i need? here is a link to what im talking about http://www.sickjokes.net/media/SWK_2.wmv


Please Help me

You lost me.

What are you trying to accomplish?

You need a compositing package like Adobe After Effects or Discreet Combustion. I'm pretty sure that kid didn't do this, but someone with video/graphics abilities that downloaded the clip and had a little fun with it.
The industry terminology for doing this type of graphics work on video is called rotoscoping.

how did he make it the lightsaber on the end, he used a broomstick and put lightsabe on the end?

I think this should get moved to Digitial imaging for better assistance.

 

[toddfather]

Rotoscoping/Compositing is the process of adding to or taking away elements in moving pictures i.e. film or video. The entire film and video community, from Lucas Films to the local TV spot production company, uses this in one way or another. If you want to learn more, check out the book: The Art and Science of Digital Compositing ISBN: 0-12-133960-2
The concepts and practices are too involved to discuss and learn over a forum.

You've got Forum A.D.D. don't you? Keep all your questions under one post and you'll get better help.

Adobe After Effects would be your best bet. Then read the manual and a how-to book about After Effects.
