I need to change the color in the video background, I use color mask, but with sliders and curves hard to achieve a certain color, is there a way to get the color that I need by setting its parameters? (RGB/HSL/HSB/HEX)
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3
Here's an example: I have the original video (the first one) and I want to change the background color to yellow (as in the second screenshot). The problem is that I find it hard to achieve exact color with built-in curves

Is the background on a separate clip?
If not, add a mask around the kitchen to get rid of the background and add a colour generator under the clip.
You will then have numerous ways to alter the colour using the Published Parameters. This should be easier than using curves.
You could even use a gradient generator though that may be somewhat OTT !
Your kitchen has simple straight edges so you can select the Draw Mask from the Effects panel and draw round the edges.
Then simply put your colour generator underneath.
Are you trying to replace some parts of the background with a solid color?
Could you post a screenshot illustrating the area that you need to replace?
I was able to create a mask with a color, but how can I remove this mask to make the background transparent and I could put the needed background?
It seems that you are adding a mask to a color effect. Instead add the Draw Mask Effect to make everything outside the kitchen transparent. Add the background as Ian described.
Thank you! It worked
Thank you!
When I said draw round the edge I meant put points at each corner and the straight lines are drawn automatically.
