If you do a screen capture vid, I can take a look and see what you're doing wrong, Star Wars Man.

My tutorial has a lot of steps in it, but most of them are just for tweaking the effect just right. Essentially, here's how my technique works:

Your lightsaber exists on three layers. Each has a black background. The top and bottom layers are set to the blending mode Screen, and the middle one is set to Color Dodge. The top layer has a white blade shape over the black, with ever-so-slightly blurred edges. The middle layer has the same shape, but colored, dimmed, and blurred. The bottom layer has the same shape again, also colored, but blurred even more. The result is a lightsaber that appears to really be glowing.

alright this sounds confusing but it isnt

alright i split the 18 meg movie into 4 parts.

now these parts are located at the urls at the bottom

now the other thing is that (they are in winrar yes)

but they need to be put back together

there is a filesplitter.exe in the last folder...go to the combine part...and then select the move parts (i think u might have to select them after u extract them)

000
001
002
003

make sure they are in order

then hit combine

it will look like it is doing nothing but it accualy is...just wait for it...

then i think it will appear on ur desktop

I think I understand. Unfortunately, I can't do it right now because I'm on a different computer, and my Internet is down on the other. As soon as I can, I'll take a look. Sorry!
