RED GIANT SOFTWARE

this product replaces Magic Bullet Editors v2

What is a Look? Traditionally achieved with filters, filming techniques or chemical processes, a "look" was any treatment applied to film stock to lend it a color, appearance, or mood. With digital editing, many more sophisticated effects are now possible. Often referred to as color correction, the process is similar to working in a virtual darkroom. Ordinary footage can be made to look like old films or TV, colors can be adjusted to turn a daytime shoot into film noir, and camera tricks can be simulated digitally.

A Designers Interface
For the first time, you can design and refine a look with a user experience that balances ease of use with the power of 36 distinct Look Tools. The new interface offers Quick Drawers for accessing tools and presets without taking up valuable space. Tool controls keep clutter to a minimum. Also, a linear-light processing engine provides fluid interaction using the power of your graphics card.

100-Look Library
More than one hundred unique Looks, conveniently organized by category in the Look Library, are a great starting point for defining the mood of any scene. The presets range from simple exposure and film process emulation to radical color changes. Best of all you can use the Look Theater to browse through the library using your own images—finding a look couldn’t be easier.

Looks with Legs
You can use Magic Bullet Looks as both a plug-in and a stand-alone application. The plug-in launches the LookBuilder design application, accesses presets and renders looks inside a variety of applications, including Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Apple Motion, and Avid Systems. The application lets you refine and create looks anywhere, from on set to your edit suite, using any image as a foundation. Go from pre-visualization to final output, all with the same look.
