    Opening

    I have this Intro to our show, and I almost have what I want but, I want to enhance the color of the scarf through the clip, and I want to remove all skin color from the clip. I just used the leave color effect to do what I want, how can I enhance it without losing the effect I currently have?

    Thanks

    I thought about doing that, but if you look at the original and how the light reflects off certain things, I don’t want to lose all of that, which could be a overly complicated garbage matte, right?

    But if that’s the only way to really do it right, then I’ll take that route.

    Thanks

    The issue I think I might have is that there are people moving everywhere in the sequence, and they have red, and I also want to keep the flashing red light as it is, so it seems like a garbage matte would have to be a lot more precise, right?

    What is the best method to achieve a clean black and white image? I’ve found a few, but I’m not too happy with them, do you have one that you prefer. And thanks a lot Dave, I appreciate it.

    Dave,

    I understand that, but when there are elements that I’m garbage matting that have the same color, I will need to find an alternative to using ‘Leave Color’ so that’s all I’m asking. Thanks again for your time.

    Thanks Dave, I am almost done with the original clip, still have 20 more seconds to go, but I’m moving along nicely. Will show a final edit when completed.

    Thanks again
