Marc, do you have a look in mind? Colour Curves is good . .. but I'm wanting to know a bit more? I'm understanding you want to create subtle "S"-curves.

Is this near to it? http://www.utipu.com/app/tip/id/2648/

In which case - sure! - But I could be very very wrong.

There has been much work done here on using Presets and sharing looks.

Grazie

Ahh, memories!
I worked in C-22 / C-41 / E-4 / E-6 labs in the 70's and 80's to support my music habit, and got lots of requests to run Ektachrome through C-41, often with stunning high-contrast results.

I read a post elsewhere that this look could be achieved with Magic Bullet, but you'd have to do your own research because I've never tried. I'm also sure that you could do it natively in Vegas using a combination of curves/levels, and New Blue FX might have something, but again you're on your own here . . .

[Edit] You should be able to adapt this Photoshop tutorial to Vegas -- let us know what you come up with:

Grazie & Musicvid,

Thank you both! The tutorials you both linked me will produce exactly what I'm looking for.

The PS work flow should be fairly easy to adapt to Vegas.

Better yet, it's time I learned what's behind those "click of a button" effects I've been using for so long.

Cheers,
Marc

>>...I'd like to be able achieve this look with video in Vegas...

Though certainly cumbersome, you could export your video to an image sequence, the batch process the still images as needed, then re-import into Vegas as an image sequence.

I did this once for something years ago, but it was a short video segment.

A pain to do, but it would work.
