Gradient transition

[Graham Bernard]

Well there are several ways but as your original “sky” colours are shared amongst the NON sky areas then this becomes tricky.

Here are some Options with which you could experiment:

Option 1] Add a 2-Section horizontal banded Generated Media Gradient above the Event. Make one Band Pink and leave the other transparent.

Option 2] Copy the track to track above and Mask out the areas of Track1 you want to add a 2nd Colour Corrector and select the sky elements and change these to PINK

Option 3] Check out my tutorial I did here on the “COW” in showing a 2-Colour result against a Black and White background – but here make the lowest Track FULL colour, not BnW. ( https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/24/894346)

Thoughts:-
Option 1] is a compromise in terms of sometimes your head coming into the PINK area. Option 2] can be a PITA. Option 3] Can quickly become cumbersome and needing more tweaking than you may think is really necessary, however it DOES offer amazing control, but you will need to keep tally of the inter layer effects!

Maybe others have a simpler and more effective way on this?

Thanks for that response and the video. Learned a lot from watching it and will try it out on my project.
I’d like to know if you have any other videos that I might watch.

Hi Roger, sorry for the long delay.

Making Tutes for Vegas has not been a core business for me, but there are a few I would highly rate. Anything by Johnny Rofrano and Douglas Spotted Eagle. Also the official SONY Tutorial DVDs. IMO there are many Vegas YouTube tutes that at best are dreadful to sit through and at worst dangerous in terms of misleading info – ugh . . . .

I should do more myself, on some of the more creative and expressive options that Vegas can deliver. I’ve been considering banging-out a PSD layering tute. I don’t think that users have yet got to realise the powerful opportunities that are within just that one feature alone.

Mostly tutorials weigh-in on the “How to Operate” and then mostly don’t supply the “oh wow!” resultant factor on then using it.

I’ll give it some further thought 😉
