character in colour rest of street bw--how?

[glkl]

If I wanted my character to be walking down a crowded street in colour and have everything else be b&w how would I achieve this in fcp5?

With the scenario you described, you'd be doing a lot of rotoscoping...

Unless your character was wearing a color that didn't appear anywhere else on the street.

You could mask out an area around your character every couple of seconds, and then try the pleasantville effect. Could work.

I agree. My tutorial was for a single color. Although you could layer on multiple colors... the best way to do what you want is rotoscoping.

Dig in.
