Draw a path around the blade that is
FURTHEST from the camera by clicking on the each of the four corners of the
white part of the saber.
For Example:
Click once here.
Put next click on this corner.
Click once on corner 3.
And once more on corner 4
Now you need to close off the path by
clicking once on the first box you made! You know it is closed of when the
little boxes disappear!
Now, DOUBLE-CLICK on the name of the path, you must click right on the
name!
If you did it right,
the following box should come up.
This is where you choose your lightsaber color. To get the following
colors, you must type in the name EXACTLY as it is shown.
AVAILABLE COLORS White Silver Gold Purple Blue
Light Blue Green Yellow Orange Red
Those are the
only colors available and you must type them with the first letter being
capital!!!
I chose the following color for Matt's blades.
Click Ok.
Now make a path around
the top blade, but this time you don't have to choose the color.
Notice how this time the path didn't
fill in with a color. That means it will be the same color as you just set, in
this case it was yellow.
Scroll down to the second frame and draw paths
around Matt's blades.
STEP
FOUR: The fun part!
In the ACTIONS tab
expand the SABERS-LIGHT SETTING folder by clicking on the triangle to the left
of it
Next, scroll down to
the Yellow Saber setting and push the play button.
If all went well, you're sabers should
look like this. If not click
here
for troubleshooting.
If the
blades turned out to your liking then go to LAYER> FLATTEN IMAGE.
Then in the paths tab,
select the yellow path and push the trash can icon to delete it. That way, if
you do blades of the same color, it won't redo these ones.
STEP
FIVE: The other blade.
Just follow
the steps as above, except choose a different blade color if you wish.
As
you're doing the second blade you may notice something different. The blade is
not a perfect shape!
What we
do is just draw a path around the whole blade, and when it is playing back it
will look as if it is swinging.
Finish the rest of the steps, andy your
filmstrip is now done.
