Sepia Tones
by Paul Hughes on Nov 3, 2003 at 11:25:16 am
Hi there,
I'm trying to finish off my short film and the final shot needs treatment. The effect that I'm trying to achieve is for the final image (freeze framed - got that far) to gradually drain of colour and become a sepia picture, over the space of maybe 5-10 seconds. Any ideas on how this could be done?
Also, if anyone happens to know what the exact Red/Green/Blue values of sepia are, then that would be very handy information as well, although that's the least of my worries!

Try appling the Color Balance effect...enable keyframing...go to the last frame and set Saturation to ABOUT 65% and play with the Hue slider for your ending color.

Alternatively, if it is a still frame, you could export the frame to Photoshop, create the sepia effect there, then do a cross dissolve between the original still frame and the sepia frame.
