Neon Glow Tunnel Loop Motion Graphics in After Effects

Introduction

To create an awesome neon glow tunnel effect in After Effects, we will be using the free Saber plugin. Begin by applying the Saber effect to a solid layer and changing its render settings from black to transparent. Keyframe the opacity of the layer from zero to a hundred percent and duplicate it, positioning the duplicated Saber effect to the other side. Adjust the angle, color, and add a floor glow to the layers. Make the layers 3D, duplicate the Sabers, reposition them, and adjust the X rotation for the bottom layers. Introduce a camera layer and a null object, parent the camera to the null, and enable depth of field for a nice blur effect. Animate the scale of the null objects to make the lines converge towards the viewer. Finally, pre-compose everything, duplicate the pre-comp a few times, and the layers in your timeline to create a neon glow tunnel loop in After Effects.
