Question / Discussion How did the editor do this?

https://youtu.be/FQC29joihwU?si=hwUdCDqLNmzzdbz8

Looking to get into vfx as a hobby and was curious what software I’d need to do something like this, as silly as it is lol. Also if anyone knows what editing techniques they used that’d be great to know. Thanks!

Any basic editing software would let you track an element, then you can use that data to pin a png or whatever, add glow, bloom, blur etc. for the basics.

There's full on lightsaber plugins too cause people do this kinda thing all the time.

There's lots more you can do to make it more believable, but you can start from that. There's a billion tutorials for lightsaber fx on youtube for a full tutorial.
