Question

How can I replace a green color in a gif?

I'm trying to replace the green in this gif with a red, however I can't use the action macros because it'll say the replace color tool is unavailable for any other layer. Any ideas? Simply wanna replace the green with a red color.

Thank you!

I recommend completely avoiding Image > Adjustments > Replace Color; it is a destructive adjustment and therefore, in my opinion, worthless for serious work. 

But it seems the greens are not uniform and »narrow« enough for a quick solution in Photoshop.

    The colours are all over the place, and what I assume the OP is calling green moves from green to yellow and even into the blues, so trying to track those changes automatically is not going to be easy.  I had a look at separating similar layers into groups and clipping a hue/sat layer to each group, but even that gave unsatisfactory results, and nothing that I would want to put my name to.

     

    So if I absolutely had to do it, I would bite the bullet and do it layer by layer, and accept that I had at least an hour's work ahead of me.

      I wonder if After Effects may offer better options for isolating the »green« areas.
