13 out of 14 Total Reviews for Magic Bullet Suite
The magic bullet suite is simply great for correcting problematic footage. I use it every day for fixing up clips and correcting the color.
Colorista is better than any of the Premiere or After effects built-in tools for color correction. The ability to control the chroma and luminosity of individual colors is simply astounding and opens up world of creative possibilities.
Very often, footage will come back to us grainy because of under exposure. We used to have to reject it but now using denoiser- It's really easy to remove the noise and then color correct using colorista.
Cosmo is also great for performing cosmetic changes in your videos. While you can achieve a similar effect in colorista using the keying options, it's still an easy way to touch up faces without getting too technical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Once you get one or two Magic Bullet effects on your footage (like denoiser and colorista) premier and after effects really slow down. Like to the point of almost crashing. I'm on a Mac Pro (cylinder) so it's not a hardware issue. One thing that could be done to improve this is adding preview/quality controls to remove this slowdown during the editing process.
That's about my only dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Integration with Final Cut Pro X and ease of use. It just works! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much to dislike! Some of the effects are a little dated looking, however, there are plenty of ways to customize them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the quantity of effects offered with each package and that they keep them updated according to the apps that implement their software as a plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike here. The suite software can be a little obtrusive with updates, but no more than other software really. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Red Giant's Magic Bullet Suite is a plugin suite for Adobe After Effects and Premiere. The suite focuses on color correction and grading tools.
Adobe Premiere is my editor of choice, but one aspect of Premiere that I've always thought inadequate was the color grading tools. Colorista III has a full set of grading tools in order to create high quality color grades. One could also use the presets in Looks or Mojo to quickly choose a preset in order to save time or find an inspirational starting point. Looks is fully customizable as well, and a "look" can be built up from scratch.
The suite comes with many other plugins that have very important roles in the color correction process. Denoiser II is crucial for cleaning up grainy footage, and Film can be used to emulate the look of film stock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is not much to dislike about this suite. If I had to pick, it would be the price tag. At $800 per license, this suite does require deep pockets. However, there is a half priced student version, and each plugin can be bought individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Approachable, consistently easy to use tools that work on every platform that matters. The Red Giant team as astounding support and continued to make better and better tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Subtly is not the strength of the Magic Bullet color tools—I've used them for years and they really are happiest when applying a strong grade to an image instead of simple color correction. Denoiser is good, but Neat Video is way, way, way better. Magic Bullet Film is off to a good start, but needs better controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
