I recently saw an promotional video on the Apple website for Final Cut
and during the showing of its features showed a taxi cab SELECTIVELY
colored while the background was black and white. Upon my recent
search for this I couldn't find anything pertaining to this on the
web, per selective desaturation is mostly a photo techinque. Anyway
have some information on this, since that has a GREAT potential in
different applications.
I am currently using Sony Vegas 7.0 + DVD, so it would help if you can
make it applicable to this program. Thanks!
I'm surprised you couldn't find anything as Vegas has been able to do
this since version 3 :-)
For details, check out Vol. 1 #11 (doing a Color Pass), Vol. 2 #10
(Color Pass Reprised - Passing Multiple Colors) and Vol. 3 #4
("Pleasantville" Effect) from jetdv's excellent newsletters athttp://www.jetdv.com/vegas/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54
Do yourself a favour while your there and download all of them (PDF
format) as they're an excellent resource/learning tool.

Wow. that's a lot of work to do it.

Oh really? 15 years ago I couldn't even dream of doing something like
that!! Nowadays almost any NLE can do it.

What about non linear objects like
water or fluids, like in the Gatorade commericial. How do you think
they do that by choosing the liquids colors and sweat, etc. Seems too
much work for a mask, any other ways to do this?

Just a stab on the dark here but probably a hardware/software combo
that's a LOT more expensive than you or I could ever afford :-(

Ouch. I've been searching the web and remarkably little is put out on
this effect.
