So here is my situation....I have some 4x3 video that I want to manipulate the following way. I want it in black & white. I want to have one color actually show through in color. I want to add 16x9 letterboxing. To create this effect, I created 4 video tracks (A,B,C,D), and I copied the same event to three videotracks (A,B,D)
For video track A, I added a secondary color filter, and selected the color I wanted masked. I added video track B as a child to parent track A (with source alpha selected as the composite method). So now I have my mask, where only a single color shows, and everything else is masked (black). Video track C is just a photoshop file (psd) with the letterboxing. video track D is a child of track C. I added a black&white filter to track D.
For the most part, this effect worked well,...EXCEPT...the color masked in track A shows up over the letterbox mask...wherever those two intersect...i tried some variation w/ multiple child/parent composites, but this didn't seem to do the trick...
I'm wondering if there's a way to accomplish this in one project without having to render out to avi with the initial effect, and pull in separately and then apply the letterbox mask...any tips would be much appreciated!!!
