Leaving colors on a movie clip
Hi:
I’m trying to make one part of a avi clip stay in black and white while the rest of the clip stays in it’s origonal color. The clip is of a man walking. I want the man to be black and white while the rest of the clip stays in color. Anyone know how to do this.
Thanks

If you can grab the colors of the man, then use
effects>Stylize>Leave color
If you can’t grab the colors, then you need to duplicate the layer, rotoscope the man and add a hue/sat and pull all the saturation out.

Actually you want the opposite of my first suggestion, so do the second. It will look better anyways.

OK, I’m dumb because I’ve no idea what you are talking about. I looked up rotoscoping with the help en AE and they where talking about using the paint brush. I think you’re going to have to treat me like a newbee on this on. OR if you know a good tutorial for this. I tried masking and using the paint brush tool but every time I preview I can’t get the mask to or the area painted to follow the video.

Well, first look through the Cow archives for ‘roto’ there should be a ton of info.
Roto in AE is using the pen tool to draw a shape around your subject. Then turn on keyframing for the mask shape parameter. Now whenever you change the shape over time, AE will interpolate the movement for you. But before diving in, we have written lots of tips in the Cow for roto techniques.
