Magic Bullet Editors v2.0

[Rick Mac]

[Russell Robertson] “I have a colleague who is pushing to use Magic Bullet film looks on a project we are collaborating on. Is anyone familiar with this program, and if it produces output any better/worse than the Ultimate S film look options?”

There film emulations are some of the best out there,
however they are cpu intensive. Render times are long but
the results are impressive. Ultimate S emulations are much
faster to render and framerates in the preview monitor are much higher. Ultimate S is a good program and the looks are pretty good. As for the end result I would say that Magic Bullet wins.

[Russell Robertson] “Does Magic Bullet Editors v2.0 even work with Vegas 8”

Yes it does. However, Editors V2 is no longer available. It has been replaced with Magic Bullet Looks which does not have a plugin for Vegas yet. However, they do have a stand alone version.

Rick – many thanks for you insight – I have Ultimate S, but I guess there is no harm in giving MB a test since my partner already has it – last question: is there a quality difference between the old V2.0 and the new Magic Bullet Looks?

Thanks again

Can’t say since I have not tested the new MB Looks program.
I do have MB V2 and love it. The quality is excellent and the
program is quite tweekable.
