RGB Point Curves and the easy importation of LUTs, this upgrade is a great addition for anyone who wants to color correct from their timeline.
Denoiser III: With a completely re-written code, the new Denoiser III with GPU acceleration and near real-time performance will be a game changer for anyone with noisy footage due to a low-quality camera or less-than-ideal lighting. I was impressed with how well it cleaned up iPhone camera record- ings shot in dim lighting conditions.
Mojo II: The upgraded version of this tool has several new features, such as exposure controls, vignette, and temperature/tint sliders, that help even novices achieve professional cinematic color-grade results. Increasingly, a lot of users apply this tool to improve overall skin tone of their on-camera actors.
Cosmo II: And speaking of skin tone, digital cosmetology has long been the secret of aging stars in Hollywood. Cosmo II makes digital clean- ups quick and easy with its new skin-smoothing algorithm that allows you to remove blemishes,

reduce wrinkles, and much more. Think of it like a Photoshop Healing tool for video.
Film 1.2: This classic tool gives your footage the look, feel, and color grade of real motion-picture film stock. From film negative to print stock, this tool lets you match the color and look of a specific motion-picture film, but now with OpenCL support for real-time playback.
Renoiser: The new tool in the suite allows you to put cinematic texture and grain back into footage whether its CGI, denoised video, or video from virtually noiseless footage. It’s fully customiz- able and includes 16 presets based on real film stock. Like all the other tools, it supports Adobe Mercury Playback in Premiere Pro CC through OPEN GL/CL, delivering results in real time.
Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite 13 is a professional-level suite of tools and is priced accordingly at $899, with the Academic version coming in at $449, and upgrades from previous versions costing $299. While these tools are excellent, and I understand that this is a “bundle” that saves money over buying these tools individually, I still feel that the pricing is a bit high. If I had to pick my favorite feature, it would be the real-time playback thanks to the direct, built-in Adobe Mercury Engine support. For that reason alone, this will be a must-have upgrade for many digital video editors. n
