Red Giant Unveils
New Magic Bullet Suite
Red Giant has announced Magic
Bullet Suite 12. Delivering a powerful colorcorrection and grading experience, Magic
Bullet Suite 12 includes a host of new
features and improvements to existing
tools, and introduces the all-new Magic
Bullet Film. Built on the same foundation as
Red Giant Universe, Magic Bullet Suite 12
includes GPU acceleration for Magic Bullet
Looks, Colorista III, Mojo, Cosmo and Magic
Bullet Film, bringing real-time color correction and grading directly to the editing host
application.
New features in Magic Bullet Looks
include 198 new Looks presets based off of
popular films and TV shows, as well as nine
new tools such as color space, four-way
color, and film negative and film print.
Colorista III has been streamlined dramatically, and now integrates with Adobe
Creative Cloud's masking and automatic
tracking features. The all-new Magic Bullet
Film gives footage the look of motionpicture film by emulating the entire photochemical process, from the original film
negative through color timing to the final
print stock.
Magic Bullet Suite integrates seamlessly within an artist's host application of
choice, providing powerful, real-time tools
directly on the user's editing timeline. GPU
acceleration further improves the workflow
by making previewing and rendering faster
than ever. The tools are fully compatible
with Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro,
and include additional host support for Final
Cut Pro X, Avid and other industry-standard
110

NLEs. (Support varies depending on the
tool.)
