Use the Invert (video) effect to invert the color information of an image.

Invert Effect Channels and Controls	Description
Alpha	This effect inverts the image's alpha channel. The alpha channel isn’t a color channel. It specifies transparency (inverts transparency values).
Blend With Original	This effect adjusts the percentage of the original image that blends with the inverted result (0–100%). For example, if you set this value to 100%, the effect has no visible result on the clip. The original image doesn't show through if you set this value to zero %.
Channel	This effect lets you choose which channel to invert. RGB, Red, Green, Blue, Alpha, etc.
HLS/Hue/Lightness/Saturation	This effect inverts all three calculated color channels. Hue, Lightness, and Saturation each invert an individual color channel.
RGB/Blue/Green/Red	This effect changes the color of your video. The RGB effect inverts all color channels together. The blue effect only inverts the blue channel. The green effect only inverts the green channel. The red effect only inverts the red channel.
