The free update includes the following enhancements:
In the meantime, you don’t have to wait to get new features out of Magic Bullet Looks. Magic Bullet Looks has been rebuilt on the same flexible, GPU-enhanced technology, and it opens the door for us to do a lot more with Looks and other existing products in the future.” “That technology allows us to quickly create new effects and update existing ones quickly. “A few weeks ago, we announced an entirely new development platform and effects library called Universe,” said Red Giant co-founder Andrew Little. Rather than continuing to build Looks on old code, the developers chose to spend the last year rebuilding it entirely from scratch – preserving the hugely popular Magic Bullet Looks experience while giving it new life and a bright future. The free update includes new color correction tools, better previewing of presets, and a major bump in speed.
Today, Red Giant announced Magic Bullet Looks 2.5, an upcoming free update for current users of Looks and the Red Giant Color Suite. You can see a compatibility table for its host applications on the Red Giant website.
Magic Bullet Looks is available for Windows XP SP1 and Mac OS X 10.6 and above, price $399. The update uses the same GPU-acceleration system as Red Giant’s new Universe plugin library, with the developer quoting speed boosts of “up to 95% on Windows and more than 25% on Mac”.Īside from raw performance, there is a new keyframable overall strength slider for overall Looks a new S-Curve tool for adjusting contrast and support for LUTs in.
Red Giant Software has announced Magic Bullet Looks 2.5, an upcoming free upgrade to its colour-grading toolset for After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, Motion, Media Composer and Photoshop. The developer has announced a free 2.5 upgrade to Looks, building on the same GPU-acceleration system as its new Universe platform.

I tried trashing preferences, fixing permisions, reinstalling Magic Bullet Suite, restarting computer. Something is very wrong here and it is frustrating me. In these screenshots, notice that the exposure in the first image is -16, and the exposure in the second image is +16, yet there is no difference in the image. If i go into the presets and select one, the image changes to what the preset represents, but changing the controls (for the most part) does not alter the image at all, and if it does, it turns it into a completely disgusting result that was not intended.Īnd then, sometimes even if i just leave it at the preset, i hit finished, and instead of the nice result the preset gave in the working window, the image in final cut is disgustingly not what i had intended. Similarly many other control values do absolutely nothing to effect the image. but when i drop in an exposure and change the value, nothing happens. I apply the effect to a clip in FCP7 and enter the MBL interface. I just got MBL 2.0 and am having serious trouble getting it to work properly. I know many of you use Magic Bullet Looks so hopefully there is a solution to my problem.
