Red Giant Software, publisher of the popular Magic Bullet and Trapcode Suites, will introduce six new and updated products at the upcoming NAB Show in Las Vegas, NV (April 11-14, 2011) in Booth SL3327C. Our NAB showcase includes two brand new free color grading tools, an updated DSLR video conversion tool, new Guru Preset Packs, and two new iPhone/iPad apps for cinematic color treatment.

Six New Products in Booth SL3327C

Red Giant Software creates simple tools for Giant results. We provide software for motion design, photography and color correction that is used for everything from major motion pictures to worldwide TV shows to web production. The following products will be on display in the Red Giant booth SL3327C (South Hall) at NAB.

Color grading tools: Colorista Free and LUT Buddy (Coming Soon)
Red Giant is staffed by filmmaker enthusiasts who value tools that help us share and communicate, and we feel some basic things should be free. That’s why we are giving away two new tools that bring simple color grading to the filmmaking community. Colorista Free is a simplified, elegant color corrector that contains our popular 3-Way color wheels and is workflow-ready for sharing Color Decision List (CDL) data. LUT Buddy is a professional workflow tool for moving Look Up Table (LUT) values between any compliant software or hardware, bridging the gap between high end and entry level color work.

DSLR video app: Magic Bullet Grinder 1.5 (Coming Soon)
Magic Bullet Grinder converts your DSLR/HDSLR video to edit-friendly formats, adds timecode and generates web-resolution proxies, all in a single time-saving pass. Version 1.5 adds new features such as:

  • New Timecode options, including using your camera’s EXIF data
  • New Codec choices for Apple ProRes HQ, Standard and LT
  • New Conform Frame Rate option for conforming clips from 30p to 25p
  • More customizable output filename templates
  • New Growl Support for notifications
