Edit: Special - Using the Pick Color to change colors in your Patterns
With Smart Edit 4 and higher the developers increased the number of ‘ink wells’ in the Color Palette and gave us the ability to select or sample colors directly from a video scene by using the ‘Pick Color’ button.
This feature is found in the New Scene; Pattern buttons in Edit Screen as well as in the other menus where you have the option of selecting color for a screen/effect. Once in the Color Palette, click on Pick Color, then Select Scene and then adjust size and position so that the color picking box icon is sampling the color you wish to select (the large color swatch indicates the color you have selected). Colored Patterns 1. In the Edit screen, click on ‘New’ and then select ‘Pattern’ 2. Click on ‘Select Pattern’ 3. Where it says ‘Type’ you can choose from any of the add-on products you have purchased like the Split X collections, Ultimate Spice Box or you can use the masks provided with your Casablanca like Smart Edit (called Casablanca in earlier OS versions). 4. Under ‘Type’ select ‘Masks’ In the Smart Edit – Masks you have 6 different patterns click on one of them. 5. Then check the box next to ‘Colorize’ and click on ‘Colorize’ 6. You can now adjust or add 1, 2 or 3 colors to this pattern a. 1 Color is from the top ‘ink well’ b. 2 colors are from the top and the bottom ‘ink-well’ c. 3 colors is from all 3 ‘ink-wells’ 7.
