Magic Bullet Colorista IVĬolorista IV lets you apply correction directly to your timeline without switching to a different app to grade your footage. The plug-in features a simple, integrated color-correction tool from within the plug-in to streamline the editor’s workflow and minimize rendering time. Magic Bullet Looks features over 200 fully customizable looks and lets editors use more than 40 tools to customize or build new “Looks.” Think of them as digital filters for video. This is the original Magic Bullet plug-in. Here’s a snapshot of the seven Magic Bullet Suite 13 plug-ins: Red Giant offers trial installers for each plug-in to test things out on your system that, aside from time restrictions or watermarks, are fully functional. (Other editing systems like Magix Vegas Pro, Apple Motion, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve and EDIUS are also compatible with some of the plug-ins, but not all.) Lack of space precludes me from expounding about my experiences with each plug-in, but needless to say, Magic Bullet Suite 13 is a sophisticated, streamlined package of visual tools that lets me efficiently shape and polish almost every aspect of my video. They can also perform very fast changes to videos for quick edits when deadlines are short, as well as offer ways to preview final color grades.Įvery plug-in with the software suite is supported by Apple Final Cut Pro X, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. That saves a lot of time over learning several new plug-in systems. Once an editor learns the interface and controls for a given plug-in, generally the interface is shared across multiple plug-ins, increasing efficiency and saving time because operations are similar in each window. Software suite effects packages like this one offer several advantages over putting together a library of plug-in solutions. Used by over 100,000 film editors worldwide since its initial release in 2001, Magic Bullet Suite 13 builds on the historic plug-in, adding several new features, as well as enhancing the original concept: to make digital video simulations as film. Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Suite 13 includes seven separate plug-ins designed specifically to let editors manipulate, color, style, refine and polish videos, and is available for $899 for the full version.
