What Is The Best Way To Create This Effect? (Gradient)

[memorylane19]

I know there are many ways to do it, but I've seen some people try to remake it, but sometimes it can look trashy.
What would be the best, and nicest-looking way to do it?
I only have sony vegas.. so yeah xD

I'm guessing it's a gradient effect of some sort, but yeah

For the most part that just looked like variations on a digital cross processing effect.

>Apply color curves effect.

> Create 'S' curve on the red channel

> Create 'S' curve on the green channel

> Shorten the top and bottom ranges of the blue channel.

He changed the effect up sometimes, but it was all pretty much curves variations on that. There were a few scenes that appear to have a gradient overlay as well, for that just create a new layer, add and typical B to W gradient, and set the layer to 'overlay'. (it's in the track options on the left hand side of the screen.)
