    or search the forum for “Pleasantville effect” or “Shindler’s List”

    one simple way is to have duplicates of your footage. the bottom one black & white or what ever you desire and the top layer you can key out your unwanted clours using your colour ranges key. you might have to use multiple instances of the plugun….simple

    If you have the Pro version with SA Color Finesse you can do some pretty fancy stuff with colour processing. If you click on the “secondary” tab, you can select a number of colours with the eye dropper. If you check the “invert” button you can then use the sliders to desaturate all the unselected colours. The problem is that this plugin takes a lot of practice to get the best out of it, but I would say it gives the best results.
