excuse my ignorance.. but what is a "2cc to mask?"

okay.. I put a "luminance" mask on with the sephia. Looks awesome but not what I am going for.

let me explain.

an apple tree 360 shot:
the sky, tree, branches, grass, roots, leaves, birds, and everything Black and white but just the apples bright red.

is that possible? I know of the effect on a camera (a shooting mode) but can it be done in Vegas??????

thanks.

For a single color pass > Use the color corrector secondary filter.

For a multiple color pass > I made this tutorial:

Il's in French but you can download a sample project:

I believe there is also a turorial at VAAST and there may be one among Edward Troxel's tutorials as well.

And here's mine!

I have gone a bit further, using 2-Colours and BnW.

Another way this can be used is to reduce the saturation of all the other colors just a little. This can make one color seem to really pop. Works well with reds e.g. lipstick, roses. It took me ages to figure out how this was done in some TVCs as the reds looked too red to be within gamut.

Awesome stuff! Looks great and easy to do. French was no prob for me. thanks a million.

I am so happy. For some reason this effects is like the Mother of all Effects for me.

Grazie, thanks for posting your tutorial...you've taken what is common knowledge to some and made it accessible to the rest of us in a very straight forward manner. Our dance company did a performance of "Beauty & the Beast" with a nod to Cocteau and I have been wanting to produce the performance video of it in B&W with only the reds and this has made it possible to do...Thanks!

You're very welcome.

My approach allows for multiple layering of a colour and have them come in and out of view on a whim. Once getting a hang of there being a controllable Alpha Channel for a colour then there are other options too.
