Last night before dark I thought I'd try out the Selective Color Effect in V-I-D-E-O mode on the Nikon. Before I went outside I shot a blue roll & a red roll of vinyl off the rack to get a color sample.As you'll see it's a nice quite street with an occasional passerby. It was working great, only red & blue thingys were in color, just like it was spoz' to be. Then at the end some joker messed it up. :dontknow:

Be sure to turn your sound up. I uploaded this @ 1080 so if you have a slower connection you may want to select a lower res. like 480 or so to keep the video streaming.

cool............

Great job, ProZ! It has a certain atmosphere. Loved the sound, too! WC1

Great job Gary. Loved the healthy sounding truck too.

That's cool stuff there... bp

Thanks Jean N' BP. WC, it was windy that day so I deleted the audio altogether & replaced it with off the shelf sound effects from the FCP X library. The background wind noise is a sea shore audio clip turned way down & ramps put in to vary the sound a little. The cars going by are all the same sports car clip with just a volume change to make each sound a little different. Dogs, birds & a couple other sounds thrown in. The P.U. is a drag car audio, chopped up, duplicated & the volume was ramped up & down to get it to somewhat match the clip. There's 5 separate audio tracks all together all but a couple have multiple sound clips on each track. Like photoshop it's fun playing around with different combinations to see what works & what doesn't. I did a down N' Dirty speed up of the P.U. I have a plug in for FCP X called motion that does a much more realistic job of changing speeds of the video, but I haven't messed with it much yet. There's a ton of special effects plug-ins that I'd like to try eventually. Sort of like Photoshop in that ....there are so many menus & sub menus, it's like a huge maze exploring all the options available with this program.
It's fun.

Funny stuff. I loved the pickup getting it and then the cops coming... Bill

Awesome!!!
