What effect can you apply to make a clip black and white without using color correction?

The black and white effect from the Effect tab is specifically designed to remove color from a clip, rendering it in shades of gray. This is a straightforward method for creating a black and white appearance because it automatically converts all colors in the clip to their corresponding grayscale values, ensuring a smooth and even transition without the need for manual adjustments.

Other methods might involve more complex manipulations. For instance, using a vignette effect could alter the focus or highlight certain areas of the clip but would not achieve a true black and white effect across the entire video. Adjusting contrast and brightness primarily affects the light and dark aspects of the image without eliminating color. Using a grayscale filter may also work, but it may not be as efficient or consistent as applying the dedicated black and white effect from the Effect tab, which is specifically intended for this purpose.
