To change the colour of a section, but leave the rest as it is

Is this possible? I need to change a colour of a moving object, but keep everything else as it is, are there any ways of doing this on FCP? If advice is in colour, please give detailed instructions as I have it, but am yet to use it.
Many thanks
Martin

It's interesting to see this post this morning, as I have just this minute been trying to resolve this issue. I'm also a beginner with Color.
1) The essence of the capability is the 'keying' of chroma. You can pick a point (with the eye-dropper in secondaries) and the computer will select every point that has the same chroma values (digital values which represent Blue, Red, Green, and the Luma (black and white)). You can pick several points, and all chromas that you choose will be selected as singular a range. To the top right of the secondaries screen, the chroma value (values) you selected are displayed on range bars. You can then readjust the range using the bars. The eye-dropper gives you a rough estimate of the chroma you want to select, but the range bars help you hone-in on the precise chroma range you are seeking to change. Each chroma bar has three different adjustable values...the middle white line which can be moved left and right, and two other lines which effect the range of hue and saturation.
2) Once the chroma is 'keyed' (selected), you can change it as it appears throughout the shot you are working on. You can change the hue (the color itself) or the saturation (the intensity). You can open another secondaries tab to do this process again for another color.
3) Masking in the geometries tab is where you choose only part of the image to apply your corrections. You can choose to key and correct 'outside' of the selected shape or 'inside' the selected shape.
Those are the important details which I found under-emphasized in the instruction links that the real editors on this forum have posted in recent threads.
Please don't click 'helpful' as I would rather have no points than 5 or 10 points.

  • Creating that blur using my brush my entire image changes too and becomes blurry. Not only that but the area I painted also becomes over exposed. What can I do am I missing something here all I want is to blur a section and not change the rest of the area

    Creating that blur using my brush. When I paint the area, which highlights in red, I bring the clarity down to create more of that blur but what ends up happening is that my entire image changes too and becomes blurry. Not only that but the area I painted also becomes over exposed. What can I do am I missing something here all I want is to blur a section and not change the rest of the area I am painted by automatically becoming over exposed. Does anyone else have this problem that can help me?

    Do you think I should try to find a cheap mobo to OC my current CPU?  How about trying to find one (mobo) used?  I fear that my only realistic choice will be to scrap the CPU and eventually buy a new mobo and CPU, but as the CPU was only released just under two years ago I would value being over to overclock it with a cheap enough mobo to last me another year or so.
    Who knows what additional problems may be run into by switching mainboards & such. The OS would have to be reinstalled fresh, etc. Money wise, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to invest more into a system that is rather outdated. The small performance gain making the switch to another board using the CPU you have, just doesn't really make much sense, especially if what you have now is completing the tasks asked of it. Save up some money, set it aside for a future build. There are plenty of new platforms in the works.

  • Is there anyway to increase the number of minutes to your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

    Is there any way to increase the number of anytime minutes for your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

        CBaker13,
    An important question. Most calling plans established by Verizon Wireless are designed to cover calling plan minutes as part of your calling plan rather than a separate feature. You can generally keep most other features if you change your calling plan if that is what you are concerned about.
    Maybe I can provide a better answer with some details and make a recommendation to you. Could you advise us what calling plan you currently have? What specific concerns do you have regarding what features you might lose?

  • How to change the default "no data found"

    Hi,
    Is there a way to change the default "no data found" message of the "When No Data Found Message" in the Report Attributes?
    I would like to change that message for a French message. I know that I can change it manually in every section, but I would like another default messages appearing when i create a Report Section.
    Thanks

    Can you point me to a tutorial?Sure, Users Guide > Managing...Globalization (Chapter 15?)
    Is this not happening at run-time?Yes. What happens at runtime is the selection of the application to run. If you run a page in the Application Builder (app 4000) and that application had not been translated or your browser language were set to some flavor (flavour) of English, you get 4000. If app 4000 had been translated to French, say, and you request a page in 4000 and have your browser language set to French, then you'll really run the requested page from app 4002 which is a copy of 4000 translated to French long before your request came along.
    If you look at our distribution, you'll find 9 (or more) versions of each of the internal applications in the builder directory.

  • How can I put 1 object in a photo in color but the rest in black and white?

    I have iPhoto '08, and I have seen many photos that have interesting effects like the one I mentioned before. I would really like to know how I can allow the main object in the photo to remain its natural color, but change the rest of the picture to black/white or sepia.

    This was created by Photoshop. But it's a little over the top for must of what we want to do. Photoshop Elements can do the same as can some of Larry's other suggestions. I've worked with PSE and it's an excellent editor with about 75% of PS's capabilities at about 1/7 the price.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • How to filter the Rest Api data based on Taxanomy columns

    Hi Everyone,
    We are using SharePoint2010 Standard Edition.
    I wanted get the library details through REST Api. I am using as below:
    https://SiteUrl/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Documents?$filter=Title eq 'SharePointDoc'
    Here I am able to get the info regarding "SharePointDoc". But when I am trying to get the details from Taxonomy filter, it didn't.
    Can anyone please tell me how can we filter based on Taxanomy fields.
    Thanks in Advance
    Krishnasandeep

    Hi,
    I understand that you wanted to filter the Rest Api data based on Taxanomy columns.
    Per my knowledge, in SharePoint 2010 , not all types of column are available via REST, most annoyingly managed metadata columns are amongst this group of unsupported column types.
    However, in SharePoint 2013, we can filter list items based on taxonomy (managed metadata) columns.
    Taxonomy fields can be now called via REST API using CAML query in REST calls.
    Here is a great blog for your reference:
    http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2013/09/23/how-to-filter-on-a-managed-metadata-column-via-rest-in-sharepoint-2013/comment-page-1/
    You’d better to change the REST calls and the CAML query to check whether it works in SharePoint 2010.

  • I have multipule iOS devices, if I made a folder for apps will it go on the rest?

    MY school has iPad 2s and we are tired of fixing each iPad one at a time. So we were wondering if insaed of doing one at a time can we just do one and have them all connected to iCloud and it'll automaticaly change the rest of the iPads? Thanks for the help in advance.

    Neither apps nor their arrangement are stored in iCloud. Make a backup of one iPad with the arrangement you like and restore the other iPads from that backup. It might be quicker just to rearrange the apps on each iPad.

  • Newby question. Trying to fill a section but using fill and/or stroke only changes line colour

    Hi,
    Been trying to work this out for hours now so if anyone can help I will be forever thankful!
    Basically, I traced an image earlier, expanded it then wanted to change the line colour. For some reason I couldn't get this to work even though I've done it in the past. So, I used the magic wand to select the line then dragged it into my new document and changed the line colour.
    Now, I want to change the fill on certain sections, however when I change the stroke it changes the colour of the line and when I change the fill it changes the colour of the line.
    I'm not sure if that makes sense or if anyone can help based on that but I can post pictures or something if that would help?
    I also understand that the magic want thing might be where I've went wrong at the very start maybe?
    Thanks for any help at all!

    I don't know if that helps you understand at all?
    For example I want to fill the inside of the square but when I'm hitting the fill and stroke buttons they're just changing the colour of the line.
    I think I might just start from scratch again! Don't know where I've went wrong.

  • How to change the color of same coloured sections of an image according to the colorpicker..?

    Hi.. How r u all..?
    I'm doing a small program to change the color of those sections of an image which are having the same color, according to the color selected from the colorpicker..
    Say we have selected a color from the colorpicker, and then the mouseclick event on the image changes the color of those parts in the image which are having the same color as the clicked portion (or pixel) to the selected color.. If we've selected FF0000 from the colorpicker, then clicked on 3300CC coloured pixel in the image. This should change the color of all the 3300CC coloured pixels in the image..
    I've a colorpicker [colpickr] and a movieclip [mc] of the image on the stage. I created a bitmap of that same same image (imag1) using code. Selecting the color from the colorpicker and a mouse click on the movieclip (here I used getPixel) will change that color in the bitmap to the selected color (with setPixel). So here I've two images; one is a movieclip (inorder to add listener for click event) and one is a bitmap (inorder to set the property setPixel). But I need only a single image.
    Please help me regarding this.. Given below is my (horrible) code..
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.display.Bitmap;

    Jerry,
    Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
    Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
    However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
    Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
    Thanks,  Maz
