This is so easy.... when the colors are highly contrast!

[richardcalcagno]

great video how about if you had two colors the same but just wanted to change one color

[bikotheanimator]

This one should be good. I tried the top two tutorials that appear first on youtube. One shows change to color and the other shows the keylight. I am changing the color of a Yoda. I spent approximately two hours being frustrated trying to get his entire skin color to change. For some reason, no matter which tutorial version I did, there always seemed to be some green spots left and it was irritating. This is the first I have seen a combination of the two. I hope this works. It's 4:48 a.m. I will try tomorrow.

Fantastic tutorial. Absolutely fantastic. Easy to follow along to, & the exact thing I was trying to figure out how to do in AE.

Hi, i wanted to ask how to change the coloring mat? because when i try to color a shirt on a video it does the lips too and i just want the shirt to be the color i want.

[tullymcmonagle]

Thank you very much for this. Very helpful. I am attempting to change the color of my shirt to an exact hex #. Is there a way to do this in either AE or premiere pro? Thank you very much in advance!

[djcodybeatz]

Is there any way where I could change, for example grass, to white color?

[mediozo]

I literally did the "change to color" effects 30 min ago and it did not turn as intended.
Thanks. Will try with this method.

[abuhamzaalsafadi]

if the shirt were red that would be a different story as it would intervene with her skin tone

[Mikelol-lp]

How can I make career in film making?
What should I go for after my +2

[AkashaHabladoraJa]
