What would be the best way to turn video into B&W? I use the B&W effect button but the results are not as good as I have in mind... I do adjust saturation, brightness etc. but still not as bright, clear and saturated as I would like. Any other ideas ?
Thanks,
Thanos

Did you try:
Do nothing else to the clip, just these adjustments.
Clip Mode
Fix/Enhance > Color Adjustment.

Saturation all the way to 0 (zero).
Increase sharpness, just a little bit, too much is not good

Leave all the rest of the sliders at normal.

Very often, simple things are better in life.... and so are in video editing!!! Much better results. I overdid some adjustments.
Thanks Carl,
