Taylor C : I have never bought an editing software before and I was wondering if this includes special effects? If it doesn't could you please tell me a software that does.ANDREW R : The Magic Bullet Looks Software Plugin from Red Giant can be used to give your video projects a distinct look. It features a number of preset looks, including Desert Sunrise, Arctic Tundra and Nighttime Urban Streets. You'll be able to use these presets in almost any industry-standard editing suite and you can even create your own custom looks.

A GEM

I am a professional videographer and video editor. I am NOT a professional colorista and nor would I lead on that this a substantial replacement for one; however, I am VERY happy with this purchase. I was surprised by how fast (and even sometimes render free) the filters take to the video. I was also surprised by the number of manual controls I had over many of these filters and effects. The interface and how you can manipulate images is a nice relief from the rigidity of professional editing software with number inputs and horizontal sliders. You can manually pull your colors or filters around your canvas to get just the right look. Like many drag-and-drop plug-ins, there are filters that are a bit over the top; however, there are many that do (depending on the project and the lighting) really add the extra bit of style that drives home the project. In a low budget contract with a client (of which there are dozens!), this is a frequently useful tool!

Looks Presets
The Looks Library has been updated with 51 new, fully-customizable presets, designed to match the latest Hollywood films and TV shows. You can also create your own presets (or alter existing ones) and save them to the Looks Preset Library.

An Intuitive User Interface
Magic Bullet Looks is the most intuitive color finishing tool on the market today. Get in, choose a preset look, tweak it a bit and get on with your workflow. Or create your look entirely from scratch, with powerful, flexible tools in a user interface built for design.

Professional Scopes
Classic color scopes like RGB Parade, Slice Graph, Hue/Saturation and Hue/Lightness, are essential to protecting your color. Along with a unique Memory Colors scope for monitoring important colors, Looks helps guide you in your color correction and grading process, like nothing else. New in version 4 is the ability to both resize scopes and to zoom into the Hue/Saturation scope to see more detail.

Reference Library
Magic Bullet Looks now includes the ability to work with reference stills to inform color correction decisions. Take snapshots to compare corrections between different clips or projects - or Load stills from other sources.

Powerful Tools
Looks includes 42 tools for color grading and finishing. These tools go beyond the capabilities of your application or dedicated grading software. Tools include essential color correction tools as well as beautiful camera-based effects such as exposure, lens vignette, edge softness, chromatic aberration and more. New tools like Mojo II and Renoiser give you even more control over the color grading and finishing process.

Tool Presets
New to Looks 4 are Tool Presets, making it easier than ever to try out different variations in settings with our most popular tools. Users can also now save presets directly within each Tool.

My Footage is
Start off every color grade on the right foot. The new Source tool sits at the front of the toolchain so that you can tell it what type of footage you are working with, including Log, sLog2, Flat, Standard Video and more.

Renoiser Tool
Removing video noise can leave your footage looking overly processed and smooth. The Renoiser tool reintroduces subtle video noise to denoised footage, but can also be used to give any footage an obvious 35mm, 16mm or Super 8 film grain. Also includes sharpening to bring back the detail lost in the denoising process. Includes 16 built-in, fully-customizable presets for enhancing both color and black and white footage.

Mojo II Tool
Based on the incredibly popular plug-in of the same name, Mojo gives your footage the sophisticated color grade of a Hollywood movie, with film-like contrast and a unified, complementary color palette. Now with more control and 14 powerful presets.

Provides the look of various film stocks. These 2 tools work together to emulate the photochemical process used in motion-picture film. 22 Negative Film Stocks and 4 print stocks are included.

Colorista Tool

LUT Tool
Import a Look Up Table created in other grading applications and extend it with additional Looks tools.
