Selective Color variation
I’m attempting to change the color of a scenic background in this short film but I can’t figure out how to do it selectively a la this music video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6I2Ek_j_Xc
The clip at 2:27 where most of the background trees have been altered to purple, except for one!
I know this is basic, but can anyone tell me if this is do-able in FCPX?
Thank you!

Search the FCPX Help system for- Target a specific color using a color mask.
A color mask isolates a particular color in the image. You can apply a color mask to a clip to correct a specific color, or to exclude that color from corrections to the rest of the image, or both. For example, you could mute a brightly colored shirt in the background that distracts attention from a clip’s main subject.
Using a color mask to control the color correction allows you to pick a color and then independently adjust that color (reduce, enhance, or change it) or adjust everything except that color (for example, add a tint or reduce the brightness or chroma levels).

You could also try using the new free effect that I shared just this week, see here for details:

It addresses precisely this question and offers some advantages over doing it via the Color Board.

Thank you, finished downloading MTT , about to download your free app and give it a go.James- I tried doing it that way but I couldn’t get it to catch only some greens (I want some greens to stay green, and others to change to purple). Still trying though.
