I am a newbie to Premiere. I just bought 6.5. I figured out how to simulate sepia tone using the B&W then Tint under Image Control. However, I want to make a clip go from sepia to color over about 2 seconds. How?
Not sure is this will work, but you can try . First off, cut your clip into two using the razor tool (making video A and video B). Now apply your sepia effect to video B. Finally, add a fade transition between clip A and clip B. Adjust the length of the transition to suite As I say, haven't tried that myself, so just a guess/thought!
All you need do is toggle the animation on for the effects that you want, set a key frame where you want your effect to begin and one where it will end, then adjust your effect values at these two key frames.
eg - keyframe 1 - saturation normal, tint value 0, Keyframe 2 - saturation -70 (or what you want to achieve black and white), tint - (insert your sepia value here). Your effect will now take place over time.
Just about all of premiers effects can be animated in the same way.
I'm running Premiere 6.5 on a Win 98SE box. (I trust that's the system info you meant.)
I was having trouble getting the B&W control to accept setting a keyframe for starting the effect. The sepia was working great, however.
Thanks for the saturation hint. It works great.
