  • From B&W to color

    Posted by Anand on June 13, 2005 at 4:23 pm

    I have a very colorful footage and I wish that the clip starts in Black and White and seamlessly turn to color as it progresses. Since the B&W effect is not keyframable, I have used the Tint effect with its default settings, keyframed from 0 to 100, to do this. Although the effect is OK, kindly let me know if this is the right way or is there a better way to do it.

    Razor your clip in the timeline(the color version)at the point that you want the effect to start.
    Make the first clip(prior to the edit)B&W, no keyframing involved.
    Place dissolve at the edit point and adjust to you liking(duration).

    The Color Balance (HLS) effect allows you to keyframe the saturation to manipulate color intensity using keyframes. Very easy to go to/from B&W in a single clip this way.
