Aside from price, what makes Nattress Film Effects stand out from the rest?

I can’t speak for Nattress, but I’ve had amazing results with Magic Bullet.

Nattress stands out as it will convert 30i video to 24p rather well…better than anything else out there. Plus it has film look presets.

Magic Bullet Editors are color correction looks only. The larger magic Bullet package does the conversion, but it is pricier and slower, and you get about the same results.

Nattress is the best thing going. Used for the Superbowl and the World Series…BOTH HD shows.

Nattress is worth getting….stop hesitating…just buy the damn thing will ya 🙂

I’ve used Nattress at work on some projects and it’s pretty good. The one thing I don’t like is the conversion to a 24p film look makes fast motion look a little “choppy”.

Also, if you want a “free” way to get a film look out of your video, check out this article. I’ve experimented with this technique and got a pretty good looking result.

Unfortunately, you will get choppy results on video that moves to fast. However, if you’d shot film on the same subject matter, with the same speed of pans, it would also look choppy – that’s part of the nature of 24p. You can also do 30p with Film Effects, which again, by it’s nature is less choppy, and because the Film Effects de-interlacers are superior you’ll get better results than the free method.

Not forgetting, of course, the gamma plugins in Film Effects, and what they can do to even very well shot HD video, are worth their weight in gold, never mind the rest of the package.

Oh, and did I mention the best darn tech support in the business…

get the nattress… it’s really done well. it has good functional presets ready to go and enough ways to customize your own look from scratch or by tweaking the presets. if you need more, just go ahead and shoot film!
