"I was a longtime subscriber to the belief that film is film, video is video, and you can't make video look like film. That changed the day I met Magic Bullet Suite. The program provides a creative environment in which to customize footage for output to DVD, TV, or film."

 

“Look Suite is a very artist-friendly tool for color correction. Rather than offering traditional computer based color correction tools, Look Suite works more like a multi-million dollar telecine color corrector. The combination of Look Suite with the Magic Bullet de-interlacer makes our spots look less like home video and more like film—our clients are always blown away after seeing before and after shots.”

 

“We had a pretty tight budget and thanks to Magic Bullet Suite, the finished promo was extremely well received both by Toni&Guy in the UK and globally. With a budget of less than £11,000 for the entire production, we feel we delivered a very high quality, high production value series of promotional videos for Toni&Guy – which has seen its original brief for the videos more than satisfied.”

 

"Magic Bullet software that can actually remove the interlace artifacts from 1080i footage to the point that one would be very hard pressed to identify the original interlaced acquisition format. This software has been used in numerous motion pictures to “enhance” standard interlaced video to be intercut into film projects on movies that I’m sure, you the reader, have seen and been completely fooled by."

 

"Magic Bullet Suite 1.0 Standard Definition edition goes a long way toward giving digital video an authentic filmlike look. Video pros now have a real option when it comes to creating true filmlike quality..."

Anton Linecker, Macworld

 

“We used different Looks for different cinematic reasons. Since the beginning of the movie is a flash-back, memory sequence, we selected the Basic White Diffusion. This gave the footage an ethereal quality. We used Basic Black Diffusion for most scenes that dealt with the homicide investigation. It gave it a slightly dark yet unreal look that directly supported our theme.”

 

"Trying to make your video look like film? We've been down this road before, but Magic Bullet Suite has some really high-powered programming behind it.... now we can all benefit from some truly nice film-like effects in AE."

 

“Magic Bullet Suite is the last link in the chain of the ‘micro budget’ DV filmmakers’ armory. Overall, the software offers a way to create an ‘authentic’ film look for a DV movie while ensuring maximum quality in the finished product.”

Nigel Stanton Warren, Co-director and Producer at Landing Light

 

"In my testing, video that started as interview footage or that rigorously respected the camera-motion rules of film looked quite good....it's pretty darn good and will make many Mac-owning producers happy."

 

"To the best of my knowledge, I have all of the AE plugins related to film look, field deinterlacing and telecine motion available on the market today. I've used all of them and a few 'recipes' of my own over the years. Magic Bullet Suite is truly the best of them all."

 

"...I feel like Magic Bullet Suite was a clear-cut winner when it came to the motion of film and the aesthetics of certain color processes..."

 

"I believe Magic Bullet is the best product in its class because their philosophy is right. It is the only product I know of with such an extreme emphasis on quality, and they deliver it."

 

"For the last decade one of the most common questions I've received from After Effects users is: "How do I make my video look like film?" That question now has a final, absolute, definitive answer: Magic Bullet Suite v1.0. This is a true 'Holy Grail' product, something no serious professional should be without."

 

"I recently Bulleted some DVCPRO-50 pickups and cut them into my movie which was originated in HiDef. After printing to film and screening the scene, no one present could tell me which shots were which...Magic Bullet Suite v1.0 is such a significant addition to the filmmaker's arsenal that all of us who've written books on the subject need to go back and do some major revisions."

 

“When I finally screened my new and improved Magic Bullet masterpiece in Arizona, I had to explain to people that I shot on miniDV, NOT super 16, I don't think they believed me.”
