Color changes

Can someone explain to me how to use the "Color changes" feature under Image Optimization? I would like a photo to start displaying normally, but as it zooms into a detail, I'd like it to start turning to a progressively stronger red hue, about half way through its timeline (horror movie style.) I can't seem to be able to do that though, whatever color I pick under the Color Changes selection starts displaying at full strength from the very beginning of the photo being displayed, until the next selection/photo. I tried playing with the settings under the Color changes menu (Total, Selection, Remaining), but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Is there a way to get e progressive color change effect to occur only between specific points in the timeline of a photo?

Thanks,

Umberto

The key to doing this is Keyframing - I would use the Colour effect rather than the colour change - it is more intense using the method shown below.

BTW you should not see the artefacts as the colour changes - this is a result of the screen capture.

Dude, you are awesome. Thanks so much for taking the time, that's exactly what I wanted to do.

Thought I would share the end results here, thanks again John as it wouldn't have looked nearly as good without your input. It's a 25th wedding anniversary video... The horror part comes when our girls were born, about half way through, lol.

Congratulations on your anniversary.

The video is well paced and tells the story beautifully and some humour (the horror part) - a good job and well done.
