Red Giant Updates BulletProof for Creative Cloud Support

With its latest update, Red Giant Software has updated BulletProof to support to not only interface with Adobe Creative Cloud 2014, but also provides enhanced support for AVCHD and Canon XF codecs. This will provide greater stability for shooting in the field and will give users greater peace of mind as their footage is backed up directly from the camera’s card. But it also offers greater support for a host of Red Giant apps.

How BulletProof works… it automatically reads all your data files once you place the camera card into the card reader, and backs them up. Once backed up, BulletProof then verifies that the backup copies are identical with no dropped frames. And thanks to BulletProof’s GPU acceleration, shooters can also preview and tag the footage with metadata while it’s being backed up. Through Add Mode, BulletProof gives users the ability to tag, adding metadata, set notes, in and out points, and even suggested color correction settings for the post production staff to reference. And with PluralEyes, BulletProof has streamlined the bridging process of sending the video footage over to the audio app, which will then synch audio and video files together automatically and then export it to the editing line for cutting. And speaking of which, Red Giant has also updated Bullet Proof and all their apps to support the latest massive update for Adobe Creative Cloud 2014. However, due to last minute changes, there is a known bug in PluralEyes which can cause the export to crash Premiere Pro, and possibly losing or corrupting your data. According to Red Giant, the bug causes the export to crash if the sync is done through Premiere Pro, and then enabling the PluralEyes plug-in. Red Giant has a workaround and says that importing the footage into PluralEyes directly and performing the sync, then exporting the footage to Premiere Pro from there will avoid the crash until the app is updated to accommodate it. Users are also advised to use the latest PluralEyes 3.5 beta, which can be found here. Pricing of BulletProof is $199, but existing users get the free update.
