To do effects like a light saber you can render to a .rpf or .rla format. These formats can include the G-buffer channel (object) as well as many other channels. These Files can be used in after effects, combustion, and other video programs.

With an .rpf file you can also save the velocity vectors which can be used later to add motion blur.
