Great tut but never saw a car with a blue-light tail light. Show how to fix that :)

[@MrBonk85]

You could duplicate a third layer that has no effects on it., click on the mask tool and cut the tail lights out or anything do do not want to be affected, and put that layer on top

[@Ruan3D]

+MrBonk85 yup just like that!

[@idan_ronen]

ok thanx :)

[@javiersj2036]

you can try to do that with the rotobrush instead of a mask, it usually works pretty well :D

[@JunaidKhan-fc3bg]

i don't have an option to convert matte to luma matte in my after effects , i don't have the panel like you have in your video. can you please help?

[@melankaya]

Its the name of the layer that has the effect and theres a tiny button on the right of where you select matte that toggles luma on and off

[@d3thedancer341]

I've never had a problem that was solved through an after effects tutorial, but you my man, you are the GOAT!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

haha thank you for watching!

Elon Musk is also South African.

[@luiscarlosealo]

I wish a perfect life when I have to change a high contrast color for another, unfortunately all my color change projects came with a color in similar color range that the background...

[@LevelMinds]

I've literally ran through this tutorial, over and over, every single step down to an absolute T... and still cannot get the color to change... driving me absolutely bonkers... at the end, when you go back to unhide the main clip I can see that it reappears for you, mine doesnt reappear.

[@IceQueenICRA]

Hey great video! I'm studying more about After Effects and I tried this out and loved it but then I got to thinking and playing around with my project and tried out just duplicating the video then just straight up changed the hue/saturation colors right then and just masked out the rest of everything that I didn't want to be changed, I got the same outcome without using a matte layer so could that be just an easier way to accomplish this? xD Since when I used a matte layer and followed everything, there were still some parts that weren't fully colored so I just tried this and it worked! Thank you for the video though it helped me learn this! :D

[@jensclar178]

had to watch a bunch of tutorials to get clean edges for plants. this one finally worked. super helpful

[@midwintersnight]

My version of Ae doesn't have that 'track matte' thing where you said it was and it pretty much screwed me over. everything is still in black and white.

[@melankaya]

@@madz2095 You can find the track matte by hitting the tiny toggle items on the left right at the bottom. One of them expands to reveal the track mattes

[@labdo1801]

I tried, but it can't show luma or alpha whatever... Please help me

[@seasonfilms9375]

How could I differentiate a specific color range that I want to change instead of another similar color range in the area that I dont want to effect?

[@marcowalton3928]

Ive tried this many times with my white car, my black car, and my red one with no success. I need some help and if possible and Ill pay for your time if required. Thanks in advance. Great video by the way. I just cant seem to get it right.

[@rawnac5036]

when i click the area from colour picker , it turns in in black and whole bg in some grey colour please help

[@charliefay]

Hi! Great video! I've basically gotten to the point where you add the adjustment layer, change the track matte to luma matte matte, but my adjustment layer is white, when your's is black. So when I try to adjust the hue in the adjustment layer, nothing happens. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

[@ethaneveraldo]

I'm sorry but this is not a good tutorial, if you want to do this there is a much better technique using After Effect's rotobrush tool that essentially acts like the magic wand in Photoshop and will automatically adjust the selection's position on all other frames so you don't have to manually redraw each frame. Lookup photoshop rotobrush tutorial

[@gingerlemon865]

I dont have luma matte on my setting

[@hopestqr_]

i don´t have it too

[@jg-7780]

It’s in the obsolete section of your effects. You can also get a similar effect using Keying>>Extract

[@hopestqr_]

i realy don´t want ro sound rude or something but this just doens help muc hfor me. it still won´t have everything colored even folowing this and iits going to fast for me to process how i can make only the one part colored i´m confused

[@gbesalvador]

Thank you!!! Was taking forever and to find the right tutorial and reading many things, this was the exact thing I needed!

[@antidelusionalpeeps]

That is AWESOME thank you, personally I just use Tint instead of Hue/Saturation

[@thisissantoshhasija]

cant see thje Luma Matte option in trackmatt drop down

[@bikotheanimator6169]

After he went back into the matte layer and turned off keylight and levels, and used the color picker, that is where my project completely screwed up. Oh well. I will see what else I can find.

[@marshallfrancis25]

how to change white colour object in the video to other colours?

[@AerDun]

Thanks for the tutorial! Do you know if After Effects has a feature similar to Luminosity Masks in Photoshop (to chhange the midtones, lights, shadows and individual colors of an image)?

[@RW_CreativeMedia]

tail-light was not masked out.... the hell?

[@golosok_academy]

Thank you!

[@jesusfreak2017]

Rotoscope would also work well

[@dynishaabreu4544]

As soon as you turn the track Matt of the adjustment layer to Luma matt "matt" your screen goes full black, but it doesn't happen in my case and non of the rest of the steps work

[@JWFilms21]

I don't see the Track Matte in my timeline ???

[@normanhraje7120]

I found it, click right button on your mouse on tab where is layer name and parrent,.. than select columns and than click on modes. Worked for me

[@TruthBeToldTP]

[@arictm114]

[@BLACK_TIGER_OFFICIAL]

Thanks

[@am3319]

Hello, how can I apply a texture to a moving car (not only a different colour)? There are tutorials about this?

[@matthewhibbert7930]

Nothing better than fellow South Africans making it in the content scene. Love to see it and a terrific video too.

[@Filmsbyrose]

How do you get the coloured shadow effect used on your thumbnail with the text “after effects tutorial”?

[@melankaya]

Is this still a relevant method despite the new updates?

[@MrBonk85]

This really only works well if the only thing red or color is the car.......but nice tutorial

[@hashtaganimesh3497]

Thanku sir

[@vaibhavhihoriya526]

Thanks man

[@PatrickWill]

Great tutorial. Do you know how to change the color to black?

[@siemakotangens]

What if then I want to change sth but only in the background? e.g. contrast

[@monique1421]

Tnx for this great tutorial! but I have a question. I did it also with a car. but the license plate and some area in the window is also colored. How can I fixe this within the mask?

[@missNicole485]

Hi Ruan, im super stuck and I feel like it should be so easy to fix. I need to swop out 2 solid colours (white and yellow) on a 2d_ribbon.mov that animates on screen. Any help?

[@Ruan3D]

Hey - hmmm some something with solid colours you can try using the Change To Colour effect in After Effects. Maybe create a mask around it if it affects anything else. Let me know how it goes.

[@theactualarpan]

You made it so easy...Thanks bro

[@mattiasli]

great great video, thanks alot =)

[@rahuldasgupta582]

Wonderful and Helpful video )

[@makomako1424]

you just saved my life thank you so much

[@ThatLostGamer]

this is just what I needed. thanks.

[@Colors.TF1]

You sound South African 🤔

[@andreagoytre7633]

Would you know how to change the car to white color? I've tried to change some objects and with white nothing seems to work. Thank you!!

[@Jauhelihakeitto]

late answer, but maybe turn the saturation to 0 and then brighten it a bit!

[@SpotAngel]

Very informative!! Thank you!! :)

[@Ruan3D]

Thanks for watching!!

[@otsmania7342]

I will put some glow on this

[@yourreelstoryproductions8979]

Thanks

[@serizawareda7831]

you can also put a 3D car with C4D into After effect and change the color setting without affecting the elements in the footage. Mask or rotoscop are limited in precision.

[@Infancinema]

well explained :)

[@Ruan3D]

+Infancinema thanks :)

[@WhiteOwlStudios]

U SAVED MY LIFE

[@ramihassan5387]

Thank you

[@frogiac]

If I need to draw a 'mosk', even a rough one, I can do this in half the time. The whole point in AE is to find tricks that avoid masking.

[@mezmaniaa]

just use hue saturation and bam thats easy

[@skyliner3367]

Or you can use "Change To Color" effect

[@simonbyrnes9654]

terrible workflow totally not the way to do this.

[@Ruan3D]

Hi Simon, thanks for your comment but I don't there there are wrong and right ways when it comes to compositing. As long as you get the desired effect before your deadline... :)

[@simonbyrnes9654]

watch some tutorials on keying. that's not how you key.

[@Ruan3D]

Again many many ways to key! :)
