Colour pop: keep the person in colour, turn the background black-and-white
Drop in a clip with a person. They stay in colour and the rest of the picture turns black-and-white, on every frame. There is also a version that keeps one colour you click.
Three steps, a couple of minutes
Drop in your video or photo
Works on people: portraits, talking heads, someone in a scene.
The background turns grey
A small AI model finds the person, then it runs live as the video plays.
Adjust and export
Set the strength, add an outline or a glow, or switch to a blurred or dark background.
Why use CutLuma for this
By person or by colour
Keep the person in colour, or click one colour (a red coat, a yellow car) and keep only that.

Questions? Answers.
Is it free?
Yes. It runs on your own computer, so it is part of the free editor.
Can I keep one colour instead of the person?
Yes. Use “Keep one colour, the rest black-and-white” and click the colour on the preview. A range slider widens or narrows what counts as that colour.
Does it work on pets or objects?
The person version is trained on people. The one-colour version works on anything.
