Magic Bullet Looks is a powerful suite of tools and presets for your NLE to help you dial in, achieve, and explore new looks and styles for your motion graphics or visual effects work. Obviously there are better people in the world at this, who do far more to their images than I have, but these are grabs from an XF305, on a low budget short, graded with consumer priced software, which does have limitations but is ultimately amazing for the price. Color grading, stylization, and correction tools. I'm writing this up as I took a few grabs from the film to show Michael's college class how I altered each image to show them how you can alter images in grade to affect the mood and style of a scene. Total downloads: 52,105 (120 last week) Operating system: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11. Also the plugin only selects a frame from your playhead position to give you a reference when grading, it's not a playable video clip and on a slow iMac like mine, playback is out of the question on un-rendered video that's been altered by third party software. Edits images working on their colors and light. It can be slow and doesn't allow you to check continuity between clips easily without closing the plugin first.

One big downside to Magic Bullet, is that it is NOT a standalone programme, but in fact a plugin that works inside premiere, it essentially sits on your clip like a single filter and you need to open that each time you want to make adjustments. I'd purchased it to better my grading as I find the tools inside Premiere good but limiting, Magic Bullet allows you to change the exposure in certain areas of a frame and has better colour controls. Coupled with that, our new engine no longer supports CPU rendering, which was the main. Search for Magicbullet Looks on window, right click on it and press ' open fileway' then you will come to magicbullet again, you press 'open fileway' again. I ended up cutting out around four minutes from what was originally an 18 minute film, and when I showed it to Michael he was unsure what I'd cut, which was essentially a lot of traveling and coverage we had to make sure we had room to play later.Īfter we were happy with the edit I started work on the grade, which was my first grading project using Magic Bullet Looks. The new render engine in Magic Bullet Looks 3.0 was updated to run on the GPU to provide faster playback and rendering, and while this process works well for footage up to 4k resolution, it does not scale to the potential size used for still photography. I was initially the DoP so knew the footage well, and knew where there would be fixes to make also having a third party look at your edit can be very beneficial as the director can sometimes not see where cuts could be made to better the project. I offered to finish the film for Michael as I wanted it to be truly finished and Michael didn't have the time to complete it how he wanted. He was a little rushed for time and handed in what he could do in the time he had, the film was good but was essentially a first assembly with some tweaks and effects added to it it was still well received when screened though.

#MAGIC BULLET LOOKS 2015 UPDATE#

Sporting a major update to its UI and UX, Magic Bullet Looks. We completed principal photography in January 2013 (after running over a little bit) and Michael got on with the post production which he did on his own. It works as a standalone application and an advanced Adobe After Effects plugin, enabling you to apply various changes to the input and combine color and light. Magic Bullet Looks: Easily apply one of over 200 preset film looks, import LUTs, or work with individual tools for color correction, film grain, chromatic aberration and much more. Magic Bullet Looks 3.0 is the easiest, most powerful way to make your video look great. Since late 2012 I've been working on a film for my brother, it started off as his final project for his Masters degree and ended up being a bit of a passion project for myself.
