    Hi all,

    I was just wondering if there way to grab only one color and animate it. For example, I shot talking heads on green screen and now all I want to do is grab the green and animate a color cycle. Is there an easy way to do this without keying?

    Thanks for any help.

    Apply the color corrector filter (either one), and open up Limit Effect. Use the eyedropper to select the color you want to cycle, then crank the hue about 180 degrees so you can see a change. If the lighting is uneven, you might have to hold down the shift key while using the eye dropper to select multiple areas of the background.

    After you get everything selected, just go to the numeric display and keyframe any parameter that you want to cycle.

    If you shot against a green screen, you could simply key the background out & lay a color solid under it that has it’s color animated.
