hi,
i am trying to acheive this effect, maybe someone can help me out!
i want to have, in my footage each seperate colour appear at a diffrent time along the duration, i would like it to fade in as the video plays. how would i go about doing this?
thanks.
I'm assuming you have certain colors in your footage you want to fade in individually. There are a few ways to do this. You can roto the different elements and fade them in seperately using Hue/Saturation. This method is generally a last resort.
Using CC and some layers and a few mattes might make it easier. Select your colors with a CC tool and create multiple layers for each color and then adjust saturation accordingly, but this depends on your shot, i.e. moving/static and where and how the colors are arranged within the frame.
Some CC tools allow you to select a secondary color and control it independent of the rest. I know color finesse (which ships with AE6.5) has this ability. This would be the easiest way to do this effect, but you need clean, well-lit footage to begin with.
