Hi, I'm an italian Vegas 4 user ( sorry for my simple english ) and I'd know if is there in V4 a Color pass FX Filter like Premiere 6.5, that is the possibility to put the entire imagine B/W except one only color ( for exemple: imagine a shot of Bryce Canyon with the sky blue and the remainig B/W ).
Could you help me?

You can apply filters to the video bus (the one at the bottom), doing it there affects everything. You can also apply filters on a track by track basis as well as at the event level.

The secondary color correction filter should do what you want, I think there might be a few you could try, I'm caoturing at the moment or I'd find it for you. If no one's helped you out when I finish I'll have a quick look and let you know.

The Secondary Color Corrector is very close to what you want, except it lacks an "invert selection" checkbox in this version. Here's how to work around that:

Track 1: your video with "Color Corrector (Secondary)" with "Show mask" checked. Get it set up so your desired "pass color" creates white where it is, and black elsewhere.
Track 2: your video with no FX.
Track 3: your video with the "Black and White" FX set to full blend.

Now, turn on the "Make Compositing Child" button for Track 2. This will use the "Show mask" features in SCC to key the color track over the B&W track.
