isolating one color in video image
Hello, I have a scene in which I would like to desaturate the background to black and white and leave a green object in the foreground in color. Is there a function in FCP for this? And can anyone point me to a tutorial that will help me learn how to do it? Much thanks to all,
Chris

Search the forum for Pleasantville effect. Plenty of tutorials out there, even on YouTube. Discover the “limit effect” tool in your 3-way color corrector, or learn Color.

This gets asked a lot.
There is step by step instruction right in FCP Help (in the Help Menu)… go to page 609 and read the section where they do this very effect with a red bicycle.
The page number is accurate for FCP 6.x, in US English. Might be different elsewhere, but it will be in the color correction section.

Color has much more powerful tools for this. Give it a whack!

Here is a great tutorial for how it can be done with Color.

Sorry to re-cover old territory here, but I’ve got the problem figured now. Thanks much for the help, everyone.
