Overview
Classic Looks With One Click!
Give your footage just the right look in seconds, whether it’s a urban grunge, a desert sunrise, or the film stocks used in classic movies. Quick Looks is a light version of our full Looks tool with the same speed and quality at a lower price. You can define the style of your video or film by choosing from 100+ look presets to help set the mood for everything from a wedding to the next Sundance original.
Magic Bullet Quick Looks runs in a variety of host applications.

100-Look Library
More than one hundred unique Looks, conveniently organized by category in the Look Library, are a great starting point for defining the mood of any scene. The presets range from simple exposure and film process emulation to radical color changes. Best of all you can use the Look Theater to browse through the library using your own images — finding a look couldn't be easier.
Professional Looks quickly — and on a budget
Quick Looks offers the same professional presets as our more expensive Magic Bullet Looks tool, but offers a streamlined interface without the tools to create your own Looks. Instead, choose a Look from the library, adjust a single Strength control, and you’re done.

Videoguys Notes
My favorite new video editing plug-ins are the Magic Bullet color filters. I love being able to give my videos a different Hollywood style look and feel with just a few mouse clicks. It is amazing how powerful these filters can be. In Hollywood, directors use different film stocks and lighting to give their features a distinct look and feel. With Magic Bullet you can do this with ease to your own videos. I use them to really set the mood of my videos and to make them even more special.
Magic Bullet Looks is now a stand-alone application that lets you load and customize hundreds of different color grades to your video. You can mix and match and modify and save them to create your own as well. It's a really nice interface and I found it very easy to learn. I like loading up different looks, then ‘reverse engineering' them by digging into the settings and playing with the controls. I wanted to try and create a more ominous look for some clips I have of my kids trick or treating. You may want to make your vacation video look more romantic, or make a cloudy day at the ballpark feel more like a spectacular summer afternoon. After a few hours of messing around, I was amazed at what I was able to do.
Magic Bullet Colorista is a plug-in that has really enhanced my workflow. Colorista makes it quick and easy to color correct all your footage. I know that all the advanced or professional NLEs have color correction tools built-in and that many of them have color tools that are so sophisticated and complex that you can spend hours just learning them. (Which is why I love Colorists so much - It's quick, simple and it gets the job done).
