Red Giant introduced the newest version of our old favorite Magic Bullet Suite 13. There are many upgrades and new features but the best is the real-time GPU based performance using the Mercury Playback Engine. Included in the Suite are seven tools, with one brand new tool.
I’ll have a hands-on review soon but in the meantime here is an overview of the new Suite.

- Magic Bullet Mojo II
Magic Bullet Mojo has always been your go to tool for a Hollywood Blockbuster look in seconds. But Hollywood film looks have changed, and, now, so has Mojo. Mojo II has been updated to give your footage a sophisticated, cinematic style with a unified complementary color palette. It’s bold to say this, but dropping Mojo on almost any footage will make it look better. Yup. And we’ve added additional tools like vignette, exposure, temperature and tint to give you the most Mojo possible.

- My Footage is… (LOG support)

Magic Bullet Cosmo II
Our tool for fast, simple cosmetic cleanup just got even better. This upgrade to Cosmo II gives you refined results that look more natural than ever. With the help of a new skin sampling tool you’ll easily balance skin tones, reduce wrinkles and remove skin blemishes, to make your talent look their best.
- Magic Bullet Renoiser
Renoiser is an entirely new product that gives your footage a cinematic texture and grain. Whether you’ve denoised your video, created CGI and motion graphics compositions, or even shot on a camera that produces virtually noiseless footage, Renoiser’s all-new, realtime, GPU-accelerated grain engine rebuilds your footage with a cinematic texture more genuine than anything you’ve seen before. Renoiser is fully-customizable, and Includes 16 noise/grain presets based on real film stocks and popular movies, such as 16MM, 8MM and much more. Renoiser supports OpenGL/OpenCL (Adobe Mercury Playback), so it all happens in real time.
- Magic Bullet Film 1.2
This update to our tool for giving your footage the look and color of real motion picture film brings OpenGL/OpenCL support. Magic Bullet Film 1.2 emulates the entire photochemical process – from the original film negative, to color grading, and finally to the print stock – but thanks to Mercury playback, you don’t have to wait to develop your footage, because it all plays back and renders in real time. Magic Bullet Film 1.2 is a FREE update to Magic Bullet Film 1.0.
- GPU: OpenGL/OpenCL (Mercury Playback)
NOTE: Magic Bullet LUT Buddy has been discontinued. Read more in our FAQ. It’s worth noting that both Magic Bullet Looks and Colorista can both load LUTs.
