Hey everyone, Kelsey here and welcome back to Gal. Today,
I'm going to show you how easy it is to change the color of any color in
your scene into a new color.
This could be good when you're editing a commercial for a specific
brand.
I've seen this done in T-Mobile commercials where they change the
color of certain elements in the scene to their famous hot pink brand
color.
Same effect can also be used to isolate a singular color and make
the rest of the image black and white.
This can be seen in the film Pleasantville and many different
types of music videos to create this effect.
We will be using Premiere Pro as our editing program and for the shots
that are a bit more complex that require masking we will be using
after effects for rotoscoping all of the project files in the water
marked footage are in my description box below.
So if you want to download it there and follow along Ang the link is
there before we jump in a huge thanks to appeals for sponsoring today's
video on apealz you can design and create your own unique of fabric

I'm going to upload my own artwork of this Premiere Pro timeline because I
think it looks really cool to have my own timeline on my phone and this
will automatically fit it from my iPhone x and then I'll go ahead and
move on to the next page here.

So thanks Apealz for sponsoring and let's go ahead and jump on into
Premiere Pro.
We'll start with the Easy Shot here this aerial shot from Iceland.
So first, let's go to the lumetri color panel and from curves go to
hue/saturation Curves here.
We are going to use the Hue versus Hue curve.
This will allow us to change.
The Hue of an existing Hue or in other words change the color of an
existing color.
So let's take this dropper tool and let's select the blue color and here
from Hugh versus Hugh.
You can adjust the range of this color just by moving the dots and
here with the middle dot you can drag it up or down to change the color
and our case.
We're going to drag it down to get to the hot pink color.
You might also need to create another point just by clicking on the line
to make sure you've changed the entire range of blue in the the
scene and that's it for this first shot.
It's really easy to do but let's say you're working with a more complex
shot where there's more than one instance of the same color that you
want to change.
This will involve some masking.
So let's duplicate this video layer.
So let's hold the ALT key on a PC or the option key if you're on a Mac
and click and drag this video layer to up with that key held in release
to duplicate now from effect controls underneath the opacity.
We're going to use the pen.
For here to draw a circular mask around the first light and then once
it's done we can select this mask from the effect controls panel and
then we can copy it by hitting command C and then press command-v
to paste it right here again, and now we can move the second mask over the
second light in our scene.
So any color correction, we applied to video layer to hear will only be
applied to the lights.
So now with video layer to selected go to a metre color.
Or again to Hugh versus Hugh use the dropper tool to select the green
light and then let's move the Hue to the pink color and make some more
adjustments until it looks just right.
So that's all there is to this step.
Now.
Let's move on to the third most complex shot that will require some
rotoscoping to a moving object.
So for this shot if we want to go to Hue versus Hue and select the yellow
line and we want to bring this yellow to Pink.
It's also going to make the Skin pink in his legs because there's yellow
color in his skin color.
So to fix that let's duplicate this layer just like we did in the second
shot hold the option key drag it up and release to duplicate now.
We need to remove the pink color effect.
We just applied to go to effect controls delete the lumetri color
effect, and now to rotoscope and mask out these moving legs were going to
use After Effects so So right click on this clip on video layer 2 and
open it up and replace as an After Effects composition.
Now inside of After Effects.
Let's double click on the video to open it up in the lair of you in the
lair of you is where we can begin to rotoscope.
So select the rotor brush tool and then click over the legs to begin
the selection you'll see that it kind of Auto detects the edges if any
mistakes are made just press the ALT key or the option key to remove any
unwanted selection Once the legs are fully selected, press the spacebar
and after effects will begin to work and predict frame-by-frame how these
legs are moving and move the selection where the legs are moving.
It might not be exactly perfect at some point.
You may have to make a few minor corrections, but overall it does a
pretty great job and it's much faster than doing this manually.
So if we go back to the Position you can now see it's black and only the
legs are visible.
You can see if we go to transparency to turn that on you'll see that it's
actually transparent Behind These legs now.
So now let's save it and go back to Premiere Pro and now you can see on
video layer to the legs are in the correct skin color and on video
layer to its the rest of the scene and the yellow is now pink and we
don't have any of the pink in the legs anymore.
