How do you create a sith lightning effect? I am getting into special effects, and was wondering how you do this. I have FCE 4 & 3.5. I'd rather not have to use a different program, but...

With FCE I think your best option would be a plugin or something. I know you can make them with Apple Motion and After Effects though, or a really simple one with good ol' iMovie HD.
Good luck in your search for the force.

After Effects has built in lightning effects. Tutorials are all over the place... for example youtube.com/watch?v=puN_qxndOoI. As for Motion, I don't think it has a built in plugin, but according to this post you should be able to find loops you might then edit. forums.creativecow.net/thread/170/862970 Aug 23, 2011 at 1:45
