Magic Bullet Looks - Examples

Side-by-side comparisons of a few presets available in Red Giant Software's Magic Bullet Looks color grading plug-in, for Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro etc.

The original footage was shot by me on a Canon EOS 550d / Rebel T2i.

A second part showing more presets and custom looks is available here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBEtYpv2Cqc

@DezinqCustomzz Yup, recognize a few places then?

[MartinCanMakeMovies]

If you get this plug-in... please don't use the presets :/ Do it from scratch please

[graemeh2]

@MartinCanMakeMovies Ideally yeah but if it's someone's first introduction to colour grading, the presets are the best place to start. Then tweaking those as you get more confident about what look you want and how to achieve it. Then eventually building your own. Nobody starts out with some in-built knowledge of how to do these things.

@RCVIDEO2012 That doesn't make sense. This is a suite of tools for colour correcting with a high degree of customization. Just because it has pre-sets doesn't mean it doesn't offer a lot of in-depth control, too. What do you think the three way colour corrector, Lift-Gama-Gain, curves and other tools are for in Magic Bullet if not for colour correcting? That's like saying if you know how to shoot video, you don't need a camera.

What is the full name of the software because there are 2 versions if this I think one is cheaper are they both the same ??

[VisionArte247]

i love '' Block Buster'''

[ChainedEarth5]

Magic bullet is super cool . . . But you can achieve these looks with Adobe Premiere Pro alone. You just have to learn the program well.

@87kroker Thank you!

[87kroker]

@MaxxEPM You've got a couple different options. In the preset, which you can create your own, it's called the "Diffusion" in the "Matte" functions. As long as you don' t pump up the "Size" control too much you should get a nice tight soft look. And when I say much I mean keep it around 3-12%. Another method is in the "Lens" function use the "Edge Softness" and take your inner dash ring/focus ring and pull out the focus that you desire. Everything on the outside of that ring SHALL BE BLURRED!

[xNightRider360x]

Where do you get this ?? Especially the block buster one ?? Can anyone help

[saguaro]
