B&W and Colour Hybrid encoding

[madman_looney]

I have a movie which is B&W except the last 5 minutes.
Is there a way to use grayscale encoding for all but the last 5 minutes and colour encoding for the last 5 minutes?

"grayscale" can be checked separately for movie and for credits.

My problem is the opposite. Almost all the movie is in grayscale, only the end is in colour (5 last minutes + credits). I need to encode the first 90 minutes in grayscale and the last 10 in colour.

Check greyscale for the main movie and leave it unchecked on the credits tab.

Thanks.

I thought if you don't check "use grayscale" in the credits tab it uses whatever was used the rest of the movie.

I tried it on a little clip and it worked. :)

I did notice a bug that when checking "use grayscale" and encoding this way a colour source, the b-frames (and only the b-frames) are still in colour instead of grayscale.
