The new interface also provides a long-awaited feature, which is a preview of the various Looks on your footage, as opposed to a stock photo provided by Red Giant. Power Masks can be used to select which portions of your video will be processed by the effect. For example, you can create a Look preset in After Effects, and then load it up in Premiere, or even in the stand-alone version of the program. You can then save your new Look in the preset library, where it can be loaded easily from within any of the supported applications. You simply pick a preset that is close to what you’re going for, and then adjust the parameters on the various tools used to create a new preset. Many of these Looks won’t be applicable to your footage, and often none of them provide exactly what you need, but it’s very easy to use them as jumping-off points to create your own Looks. My favorites include Bleach Bypass Light, Bistrocity, Blockbuster, and Color Reversal Old-Style. There are 102 different Look presets included in this version, and they’re all unique and interesting. Some of the presets make overly dark or bright footage look even worse and will often make color imbalances much more noticeable. Incidentally, this is also why you should color-correct your footage (possibly with a dedicated color correcting program like Colorista) before applying these film Looks. This is important, as many of these tools respond very differently, depending on the amount of light or saturation they’re given to work with. Most of these tools can be placed in various orders, such as putting a three-way color corrector either before or after diffusion. As I mentioned previously, this is a complete ground-up redesign of the Look Suite, and it seems like Red Giant decided to put in everything but the kitchen sink! I counted forty different tools, all of which have their own parameters. This update certainly contains a ton of new options. MisFire can make your regular DV footage look like a very hip vintage Super8 film. Microfilmmaker Magazine - Reviews - Software: Magic Bullet Looks, Pg.
