![]() ![]() Magic Bullet Suite 13 is comprised of seven plug-in products, which include Looks 4.0, Colorista IV, Denoiser III, Cosmo II, Mojo II, Film, and the newly added Renoiser. With each iteration of the suite, Red Giant shuffles the mix of products in the toolkit and this version is no different. As in the past, you can purchase it outright or as an upgrade from a previous version. A few months ago Red Giant released its Magic Bullet Suite 13 update. I reviewed Magic Bullet Suite 12 a couple a years ago. ![]() As their banner states, they focus on “color correction, finishing and film looks for filmmakers.” You can purchase individual software products or a comprehensive suite of tools. There are some ways around this (such as splitting an event and doing a cross-fade) and this hasn't really bitten me hard, but I would like to have it.The hallmark of Red Giant’s Magic Bullet software products are that they are designed to enhance or stylize images. Besides those offered here already, one that doesn't really cause me pain is that you can't "animate" it. ![]() I find it so pleasant to use that I often jump the gun and apply looks before "editing" (not a great idea, I realize). There are some helpful tools (my favorite is the scope that highlights skin tones and lets you know when they are "right"). My preference for looks is that it is intuitive (yes, there's is some learning curve). And, to those who have complained that a "look" slows Vegas down, I suggest that a similar slow-down would occur when using various Sony FX's to get to the same (or similar) look. And, Boris Continuum Complete has many similar tools. I agree with others that most things in Looks can be done with combinations of Vegas built-in Sony plugins. You must manually do it (I'm not aware of any that do it automatically, but Boris Continuum Complete does have a tool that makes the process semi-automatic, I think). 1) color correct clips to match 2) apply a stylized "look" to alll. This is what I understand to be "color grading". At that point, you can then apply another instance of a Looks FX, apply a same new "look" to all and the look should have a similar effect on all. This is what I call (or understand to be) "color correction". But, I find the user interface in Looks to be far easier to use to get said cameras to look the same. veg.īigrock - no, not the way you've implied it to work. veg where one imports whatever one wishes to use it on and then export it as a render back into one's main 64-bit. It may sound counter-intuitive to use a 32-bit version of Vegas just to use that plugin, but one can simply have a "Movie Looks HD". I certainly wouldn't fork out that kind of cash for something I can work around with my 32-bit Vegas. Once installed, it may seem that there is only a dozen or so in the drop-down, but hit down-arrow and the list will expand to many more.įrom what I've seen, Looks 2.0 is not that much of an upgrade from the original (Movie Looks HD is technically v.1.0.) It may be legacy and not as slick looking as Looks 2.0 - but it's stock full of effects. ![]() Look under Vegas 6 - at least that was where it was when I downloaded it last year. IF one has a 32-bit version of Vegas also installed (at least this works with v.10), one can get the earlier free version of Looks ( Magic Bullet Movie Looks or Movie Looks HD) at the Vegas Pro download page here at Sony. Before dropping USD $250 on Looks 2.0, use Magic Bullet Movie Looks HD - it's free. ![]()
