What's New in 11.2

Magic Bullet Suite 11.2 continues to increase your editing and colorist opportunities, going beyond the scope of other filmmaking packages. Life keeps getting sweeter!
 
Delicious new installer flavor
A few months ago, Magic Bullet Suite products were united under one installer and one serial number. Now the Suite installer adds another helpful feature, letting you install individual products instead of the whole Suite shebang. This custom option lets you pick and install your own delicious mix of Magic Bullet tools.
 
Lion updates
Reminder: MBS 11.1.2 brought all Magic Bullet products to full compatibility with OS X Lion. Rrrrawr! Our Engineering and QA teams triple-checked Apple’s new 10.7.2 update, and our Engineer Manager said, “We’re happy that our dialog with Apple resulted in a fantastic problem-solving update!”

7) Red Giant Software Suites

Ok I admit it, I love Red Giant Magic Bullet Looks. It's been one of my favorite NLE plug-ins for years and has been very popular amongst editors as well. But, did you know that Red Giant also offers a whole suite of additional color grading tools beyond just Looks? And that they also have a complete line-up of NLE plug-ins for adding filters and effects? Well, they do! And they're just as great! Of course Red Giant offers all of their titles individually, I'm a HUGE fan of their suites that include a bundle of several amazing tools and are available at an incredible value.

Last year, Red Giant gave all of their Suites a 64-bit makeover, so that they would support the latest versions of Adobe After Effects and other 64-bit NLEs. I am of course disappointed that they do not fully support Avid, even with the new 64 bit support from Media Composer 6, but I hope that wish will come true in 2012!

Red Giant Software currrently features 4 software suites but Magic Bullet and Trapcode are my two favorites.
