  1. Once you set the Decolor to 100% the video instantly goes black and white with the exception only being the color you want to leave. I tried the same thing and it didn't work. Did you skip a step you didn't show in the video.

    Can you leave in 2 colors at a time instead of just 1?

  2. so how do you do it if the object of which you are trying to keep the color in place is a moving object and is in different places per frame????

  3. i cant find my leave color effect in my adobe premiere pro cs6 pl tell me what to do

  4. Dream sequences or places where you need to draw attention to one item to make a dramatic point. Otherwise you wouldn't use it much.

  5. You're in to masks if you want to do that kind of thing and probably more looking at using AE or Mocha for AE and tracking and masking items. PP isn't really the right product to keep all the colour of one item in place. I can probably be done in PP but it would take a lot work …

  6. Just a tiny suggestion – instead of duplicating a clip (or "layer" as you say it) in the timeline, it would be better to nest that clip, and then use two instances of that nested (tone/color corrected) clip. This way one escapes a trap – if one later decides to do changes to the original clip, one would have to do the same changes on two different clips/layers (or make changes on one and then copy&paste to the other), which is unnecessary time consuming and prone to errors.
