Hey there!
I'm seeking your help in a video-editing problem:

My goal is to have a black and white video with a colored selection like in the image below :

How can I obtain this? I have access to adobe premiere, but other tools can also be used..
Thanks in advance for your help, fellows!

And.. Adobe Premiere doesn't do that?

well, i don't know if it can do that... I tried, but I don't know how to do it, since I have not very much experience in premiere yet.

Can't you just add a saturation or luminance layer ?

Use two versions of the image/video and just use a mask for transparency. This is video-editing 101 really :)

Oh, and I haven't really used Premiere for years and years, but this is the sort of thing that is a breeze to do in Sony Vegas.

Two video layers, color on top, crop the area you want colored.

Consulting fee $100.

But why do you want something so gayish? :|

Probably for an 'anime music video' (which has been non-gay a single-digit number of times. )

Yes, zero is a digit.

Well, the obvious way to do it, would be to prepare a "blending rectangle" in your graphics editor of choice, put it in a preceding layer in your video editing software of choice, adjust position, hue and saturation/opacity and be done with that. This should be doable in premiere pro (even elements, I guess) without much hassle.

Just saw this project: http://www.vimeo.com/1079124 (beware: AWESOME!) - and reminded me of this thread. Perhaps it's of some inspiration..

nice. it's like a torch revealing a parallel universe, or something.

Sander: great!

thank you guys for all your help. :-)
it turned out to be as easy as you have written here.
i'm still a total video editing newbie but i think i learned quite a few things while editing the whole thing...
for those who wanted to know what kinda film i'm editing : it's a short film (presentation of some things) for a university project.
