Actually, the "change colour effect" proved useful once again, allowing me to keep the rest pretty much the same, while desaturating the dark green/blue colour of Han's boot.

Also, up until now, I was working with compressed video and the videos I posted were single pass encodes. I repeated the whole process working with uncompressed video every step of the way, making some more, very minor tweaks and I am now encoding a high bitrate 2 pass clip, which I'll upload shortly and which should be the final appearance of the clip at pretty much the same quality as the high bitrate MKV release is going to be :-)
