for the brown tint you were after maybe try using the colour calibration wheels and seeing if gives you the desired effect if you move the midtones/shadows over towards yellow/brown.

Cheers Paul, having a fiddle now but there's no colourwheel for colour balance so I'm having to mess around with sliders to get the desired colour which is annoying...

Mods, any chance of a video editing board like the music production one?

[Paul B]

Really? It should look like this

[andy_e]

Ah, there's no midtone/shadow options are there? Or is Low/Mid shadow/midtone?

Cheers, I tried to use the cookie cutter but it wasn't precise enough in its fit. I'll look into masks.

cookie cutter is what they call masks in Vegas. You don't need to be that precise with a decent feather etc.

cookie cutter is the lame masking tool on Vegas

you can make your own shaped masks via the event pan/crop icon - the square crop icon on each clip

click on that and there's a create mask option

this sort of thing - I'm at work, so can't see some internet stuff

That's the badger. Thanks Lagers!

It's just struck me that Paul might have been banging his against cookie cutter for some time without knowing about pan/crop

perhaps I should have told him?

No I did work it out, that's why there isn't a photographer on a rope to ruin the New Statesman video. I'm quite proud of how I managed to remove him entirely. Nobody seemed to notice either.

I just watched the video and can't tell at all where the cameraman was. Good work.
