Red Giant Magic Bullet Looks Video Filter Software Review (page 2)
Show Time
Red Giant Software Magic Bullet Looks is a joy to use and delivers stunning looks to your digital video. It allows editors to use this tool in different applications (e.g., both After Effects and Premiere Pro). That flexibility is key and reminds us that the Looks software team is looking after its editors. The power is there, too, with improved Power Mask features allowing editors to be selective about the application of their looks. The possibilities seem endless. That's just what we like to see in an application like this.
