The plugin adds the ability to convert interlaced video at 50i or 60i to 24p, 25p or 30p in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Motion. This produces the smoother motion characteristic of film footage. It also includes an algorithm for reducing DV/HDV artifacts and letterboxing for 16:9 output. Magic Bullet Frames is available as an individual plugin or as part of the Magic Bullet Suite film-look bundle.
The Magic Bullet Suite plugin bundle combines all of market leader Red Giant’s tools relevant to achieving a film look:
Looks is the central tool for designing color moods and effects associated with shooting and development. Users can choose from more than 100 presets or use integrated tools such as diffusion, grain, bleach bypass, vignette and telecine net to create their own effects.
Frames converts PAL, NTSC or interlaced HD sequences into 24p material directly in the editing system timeline. The result is the smoother motion familiar from film.
Instant HD converts SD (DV) material into various HD formats. A special algorithm minimizes the inevitable loss of quality and sharpness caused by scaling.
Colorista provides classic three-way color correction with internal processing at 32 bits per color channel. GPU acceleration enables real-time display. The plugin is designed for straightforward operation and high-quality results.
