Just like other apps (or was Cosmo first and did the others follow?) in Red Giant’s portfolio, Cosmo ‘sees’ skin tones using a fairly intelligent algorithm that recognises skin colours. Cosmo 2.0Ĭosmo is, to put it simply, a skin enhancer. I know you’re not supposed to use Log when shooting in Protune CamRAW with a HERO3+, but should I use Flat or Video? Professional film producers may know it, I am not so sure. There’s one thing that I lacked in Magic Bullet Film: a thorough explanation of when you better use the initial “Flat” setting in the footage type drop down menu. Film also lets you protect skin tones, something other film emulation plug-ins won’t. The adjustments in terms of hue, tint, grain, etc are slider based and with realtime visual feedback, are as simple as they get. The combination allows for endless variations. Magic Bullet Film gives you a generous choice of negative films to choose from and four “print” films for output. That makes it a bit more complicated to work with, but to be honest: much more rewarding. Let’s start with the new module in all supported hosts. I also briefly tried it within Adobe After Effects. I tested Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite 12 with Final Cut Pro X. Those two apps unfortunately haven’t been updated and still only run in the Adobe apps After Effects and Premiere Pro. The Suite also includes Denoiser II and LUT Buddy. I tried every one of them and had a lot of fun, not in the least because this is the first truly professional colour grading/looks suite that I don’t have to switch applications for to work with. The new Suite includes one completely new application, Magic Bullet Film, and new versions of Looks, Colorista, Mojo and Cosmo (which also for the first time runs within Final Cut Pro X). That’s the first big change - improvement in my book - that makes Magic Bullet Suite 12 a need-to-upgrade. It preferred Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro or FCP 7. Until recently, Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Suite didn’t run from within Final Cut Pro X. Magic Bullet Suite apps are also faster and the interface fonts finally look perfect. You don’t need Adobe After Effects anymore to get perfect skin colour or to work with Colorista. With Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite 12, you get a myriad ways to create perfect video in terms of colour accuracy, colour creativity and film emulation - in any editing environment, including Final Cut Pro X.
