Can I create a portion of a clip in b&w with some specs of color in the b&w clip?
As an example: Bride & Groom clip in b&w with the brides flowers in color?
Thanks........

The effect is called 'Color Pass" and MSPro can do it on the timeline using the video filter of the same name.
It works best when the color (or color range) being passed is not too similar to those found in the rest of the frame and is well saturated. All other colors then go monochromatic.
To pass multiple dissimilar colors I use multiple copies of the same file.
First I place one copy of the clip on a background track and apply the Hue and Saturation and Auto Exposure video filters to it. Its saturation gets turned down to 0, causing it to go mono. The Auto Exposure filter gives its contrast and sharpness a boost.
This clips job is to provide a bright and stable background for the clips where colors are to be passed.
I then place as many other copies of the same clip on overlay tracks as I have colors to pass, all stacked on top of each other.
Each overlay clip then gets a transparancy of about 90% applied in its Overlay Options and the Color Pass filter applied.
From there each clips instance of the Color Pass filter gets its own specific color assigned to be passed.
Simple.

Hi Rich2Putt
Using VS 9
You could try this, providing your background is different to the Bride and Groom.
Place your clip in the overlay track and use the chrome key effect.
Use fit to screen and then keep aspect ratio.
Use the colour sample dropper to select the background.
You will have to experiment at this stage.
Place the same video clip in the main timeline and apply the Monochrome filter.
I have just tried with the video sample V14, the red flowers show pretty good.
Not perfect but does give the effect.
