Videomerge Eyedropper not working in 2019?

[OzGobo]

Hi there,

I'm trying to make Videomerge work with a specific colour that its not doing too well with, so I wanted to use the eyedropper.  In the effect, I tick the Select Colour box and that's fine.  I can bring up the colour chooser palette fine too, but whenever I click on the eye dropper as soon as I release the mouse click the pointer returns to normal and the eyedropper function doesn't seem to work.

I've tried just click on the colour afterwards and this didn't work.  I've also tried not releasing the mouse click until I'm over the colour and that didn't work.  Has anyone else had this issue?

I can't speak for anything that happens on the latest Mac OSes. They sometimes do some weird stuff to Adobe products.

But that said, on Windows if you check the Select Color box, you can use the eyedropper to designate a key color in Videomerge, as I demo here.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply.  I had a look at your video and the eye dropper in the Videomerge effect on my system definitely isn't working like that. Thanks for your help though

Cheers,

Scott.
