    Hello

    I have a reference link: https://img243.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=ref1.tif

    The first one is where the animations start and the 2nd is how it ends – I have been asked to adjust the colors of blue in the sky ONLY and i am not sure how to do this within FCP/

    i tried using the CC filter and the 3-way as well but no luck – again i only want to effect the blues in the sky and while doing so i have to adjust because there is a zoom in – would i do a crop of the rest of the image to only effect the top and then key fram that as it pushes in?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    best

    Lisa

    You need to use the Limit Effect tools inside of the Color Corrector 3-Way Filter… its hidden – you have to twirl down the arrow (>). This will allow you to effect parameters on specific color ranges that you can choose with the eye-drop tool and chroma/luma sliders. I’ve used this tool quite a bit to create cool “Sin City” like looks.

    If you google search “pleasantville effect” you’ll find a lot of tutorials on how the Limit Effect tool is used in certain instances…

    I think Ken Stone might have some more information about this on his site.

    You could also key out the color of the sky and replace the background with another layer behind it.
