That’s one of the nice things about building your overall look inside of Magic Bullet Looks. It is flexible enough to apply to a vast number of situations but it is not so intimidating to tweak to your own tastes.Įven though I am inside of Looks more often than some of the other included plugins from the Suite, I will frequently pull in the Cosmo and Film tools within Looks to apply to a clip. Magic Bullet Film is perhaps the easiest way to get up and running with a tried and true film look. Most recently, I used only the Magic Bullet Film plugin to quickly add some needed punch to this flat footage I shot with a GoPro HERO4 at a friend’s CrossFit box that’s opening soon. There are several popular Kodak and Fujifilm film stocks to choose from.Īfter selecting a particular negative and print stock, you can further customize the look using a variety of color, exposure, grain and vignette sliders in the effects panel.

Magic Bullet Film is a another easy tool for finding a starting point with your footage to yield a more filmic look. As noted, Red Giant has assembled 22 negative stocks and 4 print stocks to create dozens of combinations of film looks. It works well with Premiere’s built-in masking feature that continues to be more and more useful.

The overall look and feel of the interface is just more natural and user-friendly than before.Ĭolorista’s quick access in the effects panel of Premiere Pro is seamless and so fast to make adjustments in a clip. While the layout inside Looks is very familiar, the little things like the preset and controls now lock out if you want them to. Previously, they would retract when your mouse hovered off of them. There are a ton of new features and presets in Looks and Colorista however, the thing I noticed right away is that Red Giant listened to feedback from its customers when tweaking the user interface. LUT Buddy is a free LUT tool from Red Giant but is packaged with the Suite as an easy tool to import, create and export Lookup Tables. It is a solid tool for shooting HDSLRs in low light and/or high-ISO settings. Denoiser IIĪlthough not updated, Denoiser II remains in the MBS 12 collection and provides one-step noise reduction while retaining detail. Cosmo 2.0 allows you to quickly select skin tones and reduce wrinkles and blemishes.

Strong integration with Adobe Creative Cloud.Magic Bullet Colorista IIIĬolorista III has a new and simplified design that is easy to access directly in the effects panel of Premiere Pro CC and now Final Cut Pro X as well. It provides quick access to great looking film stock presets, which are a also included inside of Magic Bullet Looks 3.0 as a separate tool. Magic Bullet Film includes 22 negative stocks and 4 print stocks, giving you 88 possible cinematic combinations. New tools build off other Magic Bullet products and include: Additionally, there are over 40 tools to customize the presets or build your own looks from scratch, which you can then save as custom presets.
