Q&A: Making fake thermal imaging footage for a home movie?

Question by Meilien: Making fake thermal imaging footage for a home movie?
How can I make normal video look like thermal imaging video? For example, making “Predator vision” for a Youtube spoof of the movie.

Are there any filters or tricks/techniques that I can use to tint/color my video, or any conversion filters that I can download?

I have True Image and Premier, and a couple of other editing packages.

Hi Meilien

In Adobe Premiere Pro (Any versions): In the Effects palette, Select “Channel”, then “Arithmetic”. Apply that effect to Your clip on the timeline. Select the clip. In the “Effects Controls” window for the selected clip, adjust the “Red Value”, “Green Value”, “Blue Value” parameters until you like what you see.

Have Fun
