3 Steps to Better Video Using Magic Bullet (Video)

Magic Bullet Software from Red Giant is a powerful post-production plugin tool for video editing.  It works with such programs as the latest Adobe After Effects, Final Cut X, and Adobe Premier.  Here are three programs, that is part of the suite, which I use in my current video editing workflow:

 

Looks

Magic Bullet Looks is a tool that allows you to apply a variety of treatments to your video project.  You can use an overall theme (scope), which applies prescribed treatments, much like a filter for Instagram, or you can adjust your video using the individual effect tools.  There's a lot of options for creating that look and feel you're after, including everything from applying an indie look to a Hollywood look.  

Mojo

Magic Bullet Mojo, is like the finishing gloss for your video, in that it applies a Hollywood style effect.  I tend to use Mojo last, as it helps to add that last touch of warming up the subjects in the shot, while adding a subtle blue tint to the background.  

Cosmo

Magic Bullet Cosmo allows you to smooth out skin tones and add a more pleasing look to your actors.  It is like applying makeup to your actors, without them necessary having make up on.  It allows you to fix blemishes and can make the people in your video look younger and more vibrant.
