The venerable Magic Bullet Suite gets a new polish with the release of version 13 of the popular finishing toolset. Red Giant says every tool in the package is now GPU accelerated, and color-correction in Adobe Premiere Pro now happens in real time thanks to support for OpenCL and the Mercury Playback Engine.

Here's what's in the full suite.

Magic Bullet Looks now lets you keep a reference library of still images to help maintain your look across a project.

In addition to real-time effects in Premiere Pro, Magic Bullet Looks 4.0 has 51 new Looks Presets (bringing the total to more than 200). A new reference library feature lets you keep a collection of still images at hand to verify that your look is matching across the different shots in a project. Individual tools can be made easier and faster to use by assigning selectable presets to them, too, and a new Universal Strength Slider lets looks be dialed down quickly to reduce the impact when they're pushing the image a little too far. Scopes can be resized as needed, and the hue and saturation scope now features a zoom feature.

LUT support is new in Colorista.

Magic Bullet Colorista IV has a new process called Guided Color Correction that's designed to move editors step-by-step through an effective color workflow. The new Colorista Panel (just hit the "Open as a Panel" button) is designed to improve the UI for color-grading inside Premiere Pro and After Effects, with a responsive layout that changes to fit the space available in the Adobe workspace (say, the entire display area of your second monitor?). Colorista now supports LUTs for color-space conversion, and features a new highlight-recovery tool in case your tweaks have clipped some highlights. The tone curve can  be manipulated by clicking and dragging points on the curve and simultaneously by precisely dialing in adjustments to the parameters it controls — that means users can manipulate the curve graphically and numerically, as desired, rather than picking one or the other. Adobe's masking and tracking features have also been integrated with Colorista, Red Giant said.

Magic Bullet Denoiser III has been rewritten from scratch, Red Giant says, using technology from game-development and computer-vision staratup Wrnch, whose investors include Mark Cuban. According to founder and CEO Paul Kruszewski, Wrnch's technology aims to have a computer replace digital noise in a moving image with the kind of texture that would be seen in reality. "By incorporating computer vision technology into Denoiser III, we're taking the visual complexity of the world and reducing it to an interactive synthetic reality," he said in a prepared statement. "Essentially, what augmented reality does in real time, we're enabling in post production, combined with an underlying artificial intelligence that ensures users will get the best video denoising results every time." 

Magic Bullet Mojo II is designed to emulate a Hollywood movie grade, with film-like contrast and complementary color palettes. Presets with names like Wasteland, War, Predawn, Noir and Improv are easily adjustable through a range of controls for skin tone, color temperature, tint and more. Users can kick-start the color process by telling Mojo whether they're working with video, flat, log or log pro footage. It's all designed for quick application and dramatic results.

Cosmo has a new Skin Sample tool for targeting particular skin tones.

Magic Bullet Cosmo II is a focused cosmetic clean-up tool for removing wrinkles and blemishes, this time around with improved skin-smoothing processes and a new skin-sampling tool for targeting different skin tones. Magic Bullet Renoiser is a grain replacement tool for those times when your image is too smooth. It has noise and grain presets for applying looks that match different film gauges and eras. And Magic Bullet Film 1.2 is designed to go a step further in emulating film looks beyond just adding noise to the image.

Here's Red Giant's video overview of the new features.

Magic Bullet Suite 13's tools work with Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe After Effects CC and Apple Final Cut Pro X on both Windows and Mac; some tools work in additional applications. Magic Bullet Suite 13 is available for download for $899, or as a $299 upgrade from a previous version; the components can be bought separately at prices ranging from $99 to $399, but the full suite represents a $394 discount on the individual prices.
