Creating a Technicolor look in After Effects without plug-ins

That's a much better pic to test with. I would bring the saturation of the last one down a bit though because way too vivid for real-life. Good tests!

 

yeah i think that is the key if you combine the two methods you bump the sat twice when once should do it.
if your looking for a bleach bypass in AE its real simple
import your footage then duplicate it
set the top to multiply
apply hue/sat to -100 on the top layer
bam there you go.

 

Yeah, bleach bypass is a pretty easy one to create. What's really cool is if you add a white diffusion effect on top of a bleach bypass - that can yield some nice looking results.

Later.

 

when you say white diffusion what do you mean by that?

 

It's basically blurring the white areas of your video. I'm not quite sure how else to explain it lol - it softens the white areas so they almost glow...it just has a nice look.

 

A follow-up question for you DV (or anyone else) how would you achieve a look in After Effects like the one found on this page - http://www.archive.org/movies/thumbnails.php?id=10356

Do you think that this look can be created using the same method but by playing with the Master Saturation level or would additional steps be required? I toyed with some settings a bit tonight but couldn't get it quite right. Not sure if the problem is the method or just that colour theory isn't one of my strong suits.

 

Hmm, that looks kinda like you could take a sepia filter and wash it over the original footage. There is a lot of brown in those images so messing with the saturation on a sepia filter might do the trick too...if I get a chance later I'll see if I can give it a shot. Hope that helps!

 

Yeah, it does thanks!

 

Nice - thank you

Finally I can make my own 3strips techniccolor

 

Glad it worked for ya!

 

Hmmmm, rereading this tutorial, it's basically exactly what I explained for doing this in Photoshop, only, in After Effects.

You owe me royalties, residuals, and some cake. Not neccesarily in that order.

 

Lol, yes it is Fig. I guess I owe you some cake. However, I DID say these things earlier...

"I combined a few of the methods shown on this topic to create the effect. Kudos to JustinZ, FigChrystie, and Jairen for the pictures and head start on this."

"I really did was take the information from the other thread and shuffle it into After Effects - JustinZ, FigChrystie, and Jairen were the ones that came up with the original theory. Want to make sure credit goes in the right direction(s)."

So again, cheers on a great tutorial Fig!

Whosyurbitch? Whosyurbitch?

 

I just tried this effect. All I see is the footage with a yellow color

 

Sounds like you forgot your blue channel layer. Go back and check to make sure you turned on all 3 color layers in Comp1

 

Nope. I did the blue

Edit: I stand corrected. I just did it again and found out that somewhere I screwed up. Where I'm not sure.

 

Glad you got it working!
