Use color correction and keying to create a snow scene.

In this tutorial, I'm teaching my wife all about @AdobeVideo After Effects. Mrs Cactus has just started using AE and wants to learn.

In this episode, we take a drone shot from summer of a lush, green valley and using Keylight, Hue / Saturation and the Curves effect we create a wintery scene. After the initial effect, we look at a couple of different ways to keep the red train nice and bright. We use Track Mattes (mainly to show a different way to use Keylight) and Mask Tracking to isolate it.
