Okay, this took me awhile to get, too. everybody elses instructions were kinda confusing, so i'm gonna make this as easy as possible. Here We Go!1) right click the projects window and select import->file
2)choose your lightsaber footage and open it
3)drag the little icon signifying the existance of you footage into the right hand window. when you do this, you should also see it appear in the timeline window.
4) in the right hand window, move the little bar at the bottom of the window to the place where you want the flare to start.
5) select the icon signifying the existance of your footage in the TIMELINE window, causing it to get a dotted line around it.
6) right click the newly selcted footage in the timeline window and select "effects"
7) choose "Lens Flare" and click add.
8) press okay
9) when you see a little blue bar over the footage window in the timeline window, that means you gots it 
10) render it!
there ya go, in ten easy steps, too! funny how that works out enjoy!
