Isolate a single color using Color Pass

The Color Pass effect lets you isolate a single color or a range of colors. Adjustments are made in a dialog box showing the Clip Sample and Output Sample. You can also adjust the Color Pass effect properties in the Effect Controls panel.

If you want to color correct a single color or range of colors in a clip, use the Secondary Color Correction controls in the Color Correction effects.
  1. Drag the Color Pass effect to a clip.
  2. In the Effect Controls panel, click the Setup icon  for the Color Pass effect.
  3. In the Color Pass Settings dialog box, do one of the following to select the color that you want to preserve:

    • Move the pointer into the Clip Sample (the pointer turns into an eyedropper) and click to select a color.

    • Click the color swatch, select a color in the Adobe Color Picker, and then click OK to close the Adobe Color Picker.

    The selected color appears in the Output Sample.

  4. For the Similarity option, drag the slider or enter a value to increase or decrease the color range to be preserved.
  5. To reverse the effect, so that all colors except the specified color are preserved, select the Reverse option.
    To animate this effect, use the keyframe features in the Effect Controls panel.
