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.)

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!

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.

Hi Richy,

What sceencast software do you use please???

[pariastabendesa]

Just a few minutes if you look for Gradient Map Effects

[pariastabendesa]

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

I guess it says "Someone you can't deny" not "Come on Candy nye"
