    I have a clip of a person in a scene and I want to mask him obviously and leave him in color while everything else is black and whit. Original footage is color

    There are many methods that can work. Duplicate the layer. Mask your subject out on the top layer. Remove the color on the bottom layer by one of several methods. EG use Hue Saturation on the layer and remove the color. Use Channel Mixer to remove color etc

    Try Leave Color or Change To Color.

    you do a better yob in green screening your actor realy. You don’t wanna rotoscope a persons movement for long scenes, unless you have tons of time and realy wanna injoy clicking your mouse.

    for stills a mask will work quit well.
