Saber stands out in the Toolfarm library as a free Video Copilot plugin that pairs beam generation with dynamic text and mask outlines, and version 1.0.40 is marked After Effects 2022 ready.
Video Copilot Saber is a free plugin for After Effects, developed by Video Copilot, focused on generating high-quality energy and light beams. It includes realistic glow falloff and advanced core settings, giving you control over how each beam is built and rendered inside After Effects.
The plugin ships with 25 presets and supports built-in distortion, dynamic text and mask outlines, and stackable effects. It can drive glowing outline effects from text and masks, and is used in community tutorials such as retro horror movie titles and glowing outline treatments.
Version 1.0.40 is marked After Effects 2022 ready. Video Copilot notes MFR performance benefits in that release: plug-ins relying on your CPU render faster as After Effects starts rendering multiple frames across all processor cores, with a render pipeline that shares memory and distributes tasks dynamically, while GPU-focused plug-ins no longer hold back the CPU on heavy tasks like keying and motion blur.
Video Copilot Saber (Free) is best for after Effects artists creating energy beams, light effects and glowing text or mask outlines.
