I'm looking for a clean blue tint that you put on clips. I've tried the tint filter with blue but it dulls the contrast which is bad. Anyone wanna help?

Kinda like that new movie underworld. The whole movie is in a blue tint.

if it were AiST products, that would be easy:

crop the section(s) needed and make them the 2nd Layer in the Animation,
make the Blue/Animated wavey Blue your First Layer in the Animation,
and then set the Transpartcy Level of Layer 1 to view the tint on Layer 2.

I'm not sure that THAT is an option in Primiere !?

You could use the Color Balance effect from the Video Effects pallete. When you configure the options, drag the Blue marker towards the right to get some nice, light shades of blue. Drag the Red and Green markers over to the left if you wish to achieve the darkest shades of blue.

- but . will that add a coloring Mask or just change the Video's colors ?
because my way mask's the entire render and its a consistant mask 8)

Yup, Color Balance doesn't apply a mask over the footage, but it changes the colors by differing RGB values. This way you wouldn't have to fiddle around with transparency settings, but instead, you would directly change the colors of the footage. Your method would work also but it seems to add an unnecessary step in Premiere.

Yeah I was gonna just say that about transparency. Then you can't have full editable footage because you have this transparency.
I'll try that toast

I think the best way to get a blue tint is to export your clip as a filmstrip and import it in Adobe Photoshop and do a color balance, it's much more effective and powerfull than the shitty Premiere filter.

I think that will be to0 complicated because atleast 1:30 of footage is gonna be that blue tint.
