    In Premiere, you can do it using a Color Pass effect and use a Traveling Matte to apply the effect to the color target if it moves within the frames.

    Often the person stands out from the background enough that you can make it monochrome and play with the levels to get it to be all white or all black. Using a garbage matte, isolate the person and use that as a track matte.

    i’ve gone the after effects rotoscoping route before, and if you’re just editing home movies, i wouldnt suggest it – it took roughly 6 weeks to rotoscope a 12 minute short in the way you’re suggesting. the color pass filter combined with a traveling matte wont get the most accurate results, but it will be a heck of a lot faster
    good luck,
    nick
