    Why don’t you colour correct an example to look like sunset and then dissolve through the three.

    well to give you an example of what I’d like to do… In the scene, I’m sitting in a hot tub and the weather gets real dark and grey and I get struck by lightning. How would I fade into that?

    Razor the shot at the point where you want the effect to be half way changed. Grade the first part normal and the second part with the day for night look. Add a dissolve between the razored clips. Adjust to length, voila!

    cut a few white flashes in with a few frames of the scene inverted ie negative, white is black.

    Thanks guys – by the way mike… is “razor” a hip term for “cut”? or is this something else?

    I bet the manual explains the difference between a cut and razor blading a shot perfectly.

    If not, then hit the b key and try it on your shot.
