That is white with the Red moving Arrows Can you swap white to black  and yellow for red ? Is this how they did their ETK 10 demo?

are people in the video/film industry that make a good living doing just that.

On that note, this reply doesnt really help, but in short, yes you can do it, if you have the tools to do it.

What are you using for editing?

I don't have Vegas on this PC so I'm going from memory here  
  1. Drop the Color Corrector (Secondary) under VideoFX onto your clip.
  2. Select the Define Effect Range Eyedropper tool and select your color (or drag to create a color selection/rectangle)
  3. Click Show Mask to see is you're getting the color you want (you'll probably need to adjust the Limit Luminance, Saturation and Hue settings to get your mask right)
  4. Once your mask is right, adjust the Rotate Hue slider at the top of the dialog box to change to the color you want.
  5. If you're doing more than one color or can't quite grab all of your color in the first pass, just add another FX to the chain

The cool thing is... if you don't feel like bouncing over to your imaging app or just wanna try a different way of doing things... you can also use this for any still images you drop on your timeline

The method described above will work on all colors but not so much on white - to change white to something else...
  1. Drop the Color Corrector (Secondary) under VideoFX onto your clip.
  2. Select the Define Effect Range Eyedropper tool and select your color (white)
  3. Check INVERT Mask
  4. Move the little dot in the center of the color wheel to change color
  5. Adjust Saturation (to the right of the wheel) as necessary

This may not be the right/best way to do this but it works for me - SORRY for missing this the first time  Guess I got thumped by that wave harder than I thought yesterday
