    HI.
    I have keyed out a person on a croma key, and I want to make the floor like an old disco floor like you se in movies, where the floor changes color in square-shapes, hov do i do that?

    squares, animated color changes, layer modes, expressions, fun, track floor image to your shot floor.
    or
    shoot real disco floor at the correct camera angle and key the talent.

    Running off of Spaceman’s idea,

    Animate radial gradients, setting the colors of the inner and outer portions by about 15-20% in value. That way the floors look like they’re lit by a bulb, instead of just colored squares on the floor.

    You could get a similar look with a dark glow effect on each animated color square.

    Create a solid.
    Effects-Render-Cell Pattern

    It’ll give you some fun stuff to play with. Might make a nicely stylized disco floor, might not.
