    does anybody know of the best way to create the effect of the little girl in the red coat in schindlers list, I was thinking or creating a matte around the subject in motion and keyframing but if anyone knows of a better way please let me know?

    Actually this is really easy as an old colourist’s trick. Export your clip to Final Touch…

    Okay, if you’ve got this far…. Go to secondaries, create a vignette around the little girl. “Colour pick” her coat. Refine the qualification, knock the colour out of the rest of the scene, fix the red if you have too…. done. 😉
    Render. Export.
    $300 please.

    This might be Ken Stone’s method.. but you can do it in FCP using the 3 way color correction filter Destaturate it then tweak the settings in the “limit effect” drop down menu. Use the check marks to invert the settings. Then adjust the color settings/sat/luma/edge thin/and softening until desired effect is achieved.

    There is a tutorial on lynda.com that explains how to do this in FCP with nice results.
