Background Color

I have a video clip which was shot with a grey wall in the background.

I would like to change the color to make it more presentable.

Does nayone know how to change the background color or if it can even be done.

Tks,

Jeff

simply use the color correction plug in supplied in vegas. put the identical video on another track while masking out the part that you don't want changed. Thats one way to get it done i would think

Thanks Chris for the advise but I could not get that to work. Will keep looking.

The tool you want is the secondary color corrector.

This allows you to select a color or color range and then adjust the color for that range.

This will be easy to do as long as your subject is not wearing colors similiar to the background.

You could also use difference masking. Dave Hadden (FridgidNDEditing) has a great tutorial up on VASST.
