A highlight vignette
Is there an easy way to create a vignette. I have some sports footage and need to highlight a player, and plan to use a lighter vignette. I decided to put a black solid on the clip for 2 seconds, adjust its opacity from 0 to 40 and back to 0. Then I applied an inverted mask. It works, but just wanted to know if there is an easier way.

make it a 3d layer and put a light on it. it is cleaner than the mask.

OK… the Spot light seems to be the only one that get’s me what I want, but I can’t figure out how to keep the area outside of the cone of light visible. If I make the cone larger, it is as if I have no vignette.

You could add an ambient light that would provide light to the whole scene. The spotlight could then hightlight the player.

Duplicate your footage. On the top layer add a circle mask around the player. Feather it A LOT. Then color correct this layer brighter, or the bottom footage darker or a taste of both.
Ten adjust the mask and feathering to taste till it looks natural to you.
BTW use this anytime you want to color correct parts of an image differently. Like darken skies, etc..
