New Magic Bullet Suite 12 Features Film Stock Emulation and Real-Time Playback

No Film School by Ryan Koo

Red Giant Software today released Magic Bullet Suite 12, the latest version of its popular post-production plugin suite.

Personally I'm a big Colorista fan, which is a deceptively simple plugin ? at first glance it seems like a glorified three-way color corrector (something that's built-in for many NLEs), but it offers much more advanced features like a keyer (to restrict corrections to certain colors), HSL wheels, and secondary corrections. The new version is also GPU-powered for better playback performance. Looks is good for when you want a really strong over-the-top look (don't overdo it, though!), and Film is a new tool from Red Giant that joins others in offering film stock emulation. The suite also includes new versions of Cosmo and Mojo (which are fast-and-dirty skin-smoothing and grading tools, respectively), and includes the current versions of Denoiser (self-explanatory!) and LUT Buddy (a tool for creating and exporting Look Up Tables). read more...
