While performance is good and certainly improved, you’ll have the best experience in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. I’ve dabbled a bit with all of these tools in various Avid, Apple, and Adobe hosts. If you are comfortable with Premiere Pro’s Lumetri Color panel, you can now instead work with Colorista, in this exact same manner. There are plenty of refinements throughout, but if you are an Adobe user, you’ll note that Colorista IV has embraced Adobe’s panel technology. This provides real-time color correction. The big selling point of this release is GPU acceleration across the board using OpenGL/OpenCL. Therefore, what you cut or composite with will determine what your best purchase will be – full suite or individual plug-ins.
Colorista only supports the Adobe and Apple hosts, while the other tools support the bulk of possible choices, with the exception Media Composer. Looks supports After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, Motion, Magix Vegas Pro, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, EDIUS, and HitFilm Pro. Magic Bullet Looks 4.0 provides the broadest host support, including some less common choices. All of the tools will work in Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects, as well as Apple Final Cut Pro X. The tools are cross-platform compatible (macOS or Windows), but depending on the editing or compositing software you use, not all of these plug-ins work in every possible host. Magic Bullet Suite 13 is comprised of seven plug-in products, which include Looks 4.0, Colorista IV, Denoiser III, Cosmo II, Mojo II, Film, and the newly added Renoiser. With each iteration of the suite, Red Giant shuffles the mix of products in the toolkit and this version is no different. As in the past, you can purchase it outright or as an upgrade from a previous version. A few months ago Red Giant released its Magic Bullet Suite 13 update. I reviewed Magic Bullet Suite 12 a couple a years ago.
As their banner states, they focus on “color correction, finishing and film looks for filmmakers.” You can purchase individual software products or a comprehensive suite of tools. The hallmark of Red Giant’s Magic Bullet software products are that they are designed to enhance or stylize images.
