Colouring video using Gradient Map - Sony Vegas Tutorial

[yoshiog1]

I'm trying to figure out how to make a preset gradient map that will match the colors exactly as they would normally appear. That is, with full opacity instead of just transparency. The point of what I'm trying to do is to be able to change individual colors WITHOUT chroma keying, but using the Gradient Map effect.

(P.S. I know how to save presets.)

[crepusculedhiver]

I don't have gradient map with sony vegas 11 what can I do to have it ?

Hany help will be good....

[kevkonk]

Just saw this one for first time, I have something else to use now, Cheers...

[O4Orsum]

Hey Rich, if I apply gradient map to two tracks, thesecond layer tends to accumulate and makes the video really dark. How do I make it so that only the final picture is affected by gradient map?? Thanks!

[DocSatori]

Brilliant how you make a very complicated subject easier for everyone to use in such a short time. It's great that you've done your homework and now share it with us in such an easy and fun format. Thanks loads.

[pariastabendesa]

CamStudio 2.0 I used it too, you can get it for free and it's open source.

Will we ever stop calling video files "film?" What would be a better term? Pixels? Just video? Sony's magic moving picture file?

[MrAnnoyingFreak]

1:44 i would scream if that picture was in in a scary mansion, but i know he would teach me some sony vegas tutorial :D

[ATCRyderX]

Awesome, man. I just started dabbling in Sony Vegas and as awesome as it is - self learning the shit sometimes makes me want to murder someone.

[UnipsychleProduction]

...A few months ago!
