How to use Saber Plugin in Adobe After Effects - Welcome to my First Tutorial

So here I am: My first blog post and my first tutorial. I’m not super confident at filming myself and trying to look natural. That’s why I work behind the scenes. But I wanted to teach my skills to people who might be interested. The video below took a few takes, and I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out, although I could still take some practice. Check it out, and I hope, if you like Adobe After Effects, you find this useful.

I decided to do my first tutorial on the Saber Plugin because I love that Plugin. As you will see from the video, I have used it many times in my professional work.

Here’s a quick quide on how to install it, which I didn’t go through in the video.

Download either the Mac or PC version from https://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2016/03/new-plug-in-saber-now-available-100-free/.

Mac

PC

Find the downloaded .dmg file, usually in your Downloads folder.

Double-click the .dmg file to open the installation package.

The installer will prompt you to drag the Saber plugin file into the appropriate directory. Navigate to your Adobe After Effects plugins folder, typically: Applications > Adobe After Effects [Version] > Plug-ins

Drag the Saber plugin file into this folder.

Locate the downloaded file (usually in your Downloads folder) and double-click the installer to begin.

The installer should automatically detect your Adobe After Effects folder. If it doesn’t, manually point it to the correct directory, typically: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects [Version]\Support Files\Plug-ins
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish installing the plugin.

So now you’ve installed it, check out my video to start creating some awesome stuff.
