Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Open the Adobe After Effects program and open your current project file.

Step2

Know that the timeline window will be open, showing the footage you are currently working with. Select the first video clip you want to adjust by clicking on the name.

Step3

Go to "Effect," then "Adjust," and then "Hue/Saturation."

Step4

Be aware that you can manually enter a number or scrub the arrow in the control window that will open for Effects. Make incremental changes in 10s, by entering the number “10” in Master Hue.

Step5

Manually enter a number for Saturation in the control window also for Effects. Again, make incremental changes in 10s, by entering the number “10” in Master Saturation. The amount of change you make to the Hue and Saturation effects is entirely dependent on the needs of your project and your taste, along with how you want your final project to look.
