After further colour experiements I have discovered that it would be better if I render my hand animations from flash with alpha channel then I can do more controlled colour manipulations in AFX. BUT! Quicktime 7 doesn’t support alpha channel from Flash and Mac OS Tiger won’t let you install an earlier QT version. BORING.
But I have solved it by exporting a PNG picture sequence from Flash which supports alpha channel. But this is a drag as it isn’t a supported format of FCP where I have been trimming my clips.
I like having the hands as white lines on a solid dark color.
I will do a test with a projector to test how these colours look in situe.
Changing the colour with each gesture is too distracting from the original gesture. I will show an example of this in my presentation.

Looks like an old vector display - like Asteroids :)

Export the sequence as a white line on black background QT movie.
Import into AFX and position the clip above a solid in a composition - turn the clip visibility to 'off' - and turn on the 'silhouette luma' transfer mode.
This will use the luminance information from your clip as a mask for the layer below; effectively attaching an alpha channel of your animation to the solid.
Better late than never...
