Hi @slicedcheese

You can make a color clip change color.
Not automatically, you’ll have to work a little with keyframes.
And not randomly either. But you can make it look like it’s random.

I can see two methods:

1. Using the Hue/Lightness/Saturation filter

   • Create a color clip of any color and drag it to the timeline.
   • Add a Hue/Lightness/Saturation filter
   • Move the playhead to the first frame of the clip an enable keyframes on Hue. Also on Lightness if desired.
   • Move the playhead forward and change the value of Hue and Lightness.
   • Move the playhead again and change Hue and Lightness.
   • Repeat the last 2 steps for as long as needed.
     

2. Using the Color Grading filter.

   • Create a white clip and drag it to the timeline.
   • Add a Color Grading filter and choose the first color in the Highlights (Gain) wheel.
   • Move the playhead to the first frame of the clip an enable keyframes on the Highlights (Gain) filter.
   • Move the playhead forward and change the value of Highlights (Gain).
   • Move the playhead and change the value of Highlights (Gain) again.
   • Repeat for as long as needed.
