What is Magic Bullet Looks 2
Color sets the mood of your story, from the gritty blue of an action scene to a hot red romance, and Magic Bullet Looks 2 redefines how you design with color. Looks 2 keeps the heart and soul of Looks 1 while upgrading to a more sophisticated interface, streamlined tools, and presets that meet your production needs.
With Looks 2, you will find inspiration for your video or film with powerful new controls like Colorista II grading, Cosmo skin correction and smart scope analysis. Choose from a huge library of professionally designed presets that range from practical lighting scenarios to stylized Hollywood treatments. Looks 2 brings high end color finishing to a project of any budget, as it works exactly the way that high-end color systems operate.
The powerful Looks 2 interface
When you first apply Magic Bullet Looks 2 to an image, the Looks interface appears empty. The screenshot below shows the interface with all interface palettes open. Of course, you would never have all of these palettes open at once! We just want to show you all the possibilities at your disposal with Looks. Learn about the Looks 2 interface.
A creative playground for every artist
Looks 2 lets you define the style of your video or film, and its new tools and presets open up a realm of creative possibilities. We've added helpful tools from the Magic Bullet family like cosmetic skin cleanup from Cosmo and the 3 Way color wheels from Colorista II. Learn about the Tool Drawer.
A professionally redesigned library of presets includes over 30 new looks to add artificial lighting, talent cleanup, a documentary feel, or the grit of a crime drama. Looks 2 has more ways to make people and projects look stunning. Learn about the Looks Drawer.
What about satisfying that inner geek? Looks 2 makes your life easier by adding the #1 requested feature, Video Out capability, for an interactive preview on your external device that updates as you work. We enhanced the CPU/GPU handling so it's easier to juggle and render large images. And the complicated Advanced I/O processing of Looks 1 has been replaced with a simpler Gamma processing that runs quickly and more efficiently. Learn about the Preferences.
With Looks 2, you get more power and speed behind the scenes. Looks supports the highest bit depth possible. For projects that run in standard 8 bit or 10 bit mode, Looks automatically and transparently upconverts the video to floating point format, performs all calculations with the highest precision, and then returns the video to the import format. This guarantees the highest fidelity for your final output.
