Step By Step 6: Eyedrop Effect

 So to start this effect you first need to import your footage, i needed some form of footage that has an a ray of colors to really accentuate what this effect can achieve.

So first of all you will need to click "alt" and drag your original clip up to the next timeline creating a duplicate. You will then need to select the eyedropper effect and drag that onto the duplicate. Once you have that set you can move onto the next step.

 So the first thing you will notice is that your screen will be all one color that is because the eyedropper tool takes the color that is in the center if the frame and fills it. So to be able to create the effect im looking for which is a light spill, i needed to change the sample point to 1151.0 % this gave me a better range of color as the center point had changed on the eyedropper.

so now what i needed to do was to make the second layer to have some form of transparency, i achieved this by selecting the opacity & changing the blend mode to "Screen". Below you can see an image of the warm look it creates. I really like this effect it would have great use when trying to accentuate a lovely day. When using this effect you really need a shot with some form of movement as well or you will have a very boring shot, that will do nothing for the effect as it needs movement & color to work.

Below is the finished effect, this is how the effect is suppose to work.
