Nice TIP JD, Funny you posted it, as I was just watching Grant Swansons “Creating The Sin City Effects” over at Creative Cow

His tutorial takes a longer rout than your GREAT TIP, but you get the job done either way.

Thanks JD

Hi John,

This is a great tip, little things like this are really appreciated. Its great to learn some new things whilst waiting on renders.

Elijah’s music is also very pleasant on the ears he is a great composer for your dynamic visuals. You two make a great team.

FCP has no such effect natively. You can try this though: Duplicate the layer, remove color from lower layer, on top layer apply chroma key and choose the color your want to keep, then invert the selection.
