Changing colour in avi file

[spotta]

Hi

I have created a avi file that i want to import to flash for my website.
It was created using 'Easy Screen Capture Video' from a program on my PC.
It is a black background with white animated 'squiggles'.
I want to change the squiggles from white to yellow, but haven't got a clue what program (plugin?) to use.

Can anyone help me?

In a video or image editing program you can use color to create a mask (often color mask in image editing, or often chroma key in video -- where to check in help files anyway ). Choice for short flash animation depends on what you're more comfortable with.

Could split the vid into images in V/Dub, batch process in P/Shop or other editor, then if needed reassemble into vid using V/Dub.

In a video editor, probably rather then fill a selection with a certain color, you'll use the black background as a mask overlaying it on a yellow video in a lower track.

Might even try adding a yellow tint to the whole thing -- might not effect the black enough to notice. Might be able to limit it to highlights (white) depending on software. Or mapping the white values to yellow.
