Best/Favorite Film Look Package....

Hello all!! I'm shooting an XL2 and editing in FCPHD. I've recently been experimenting with color correction and "film looks". There are three packages I'm currently looking at: Magic Bullet for Editors, Digital Film Lab, and Nattress. I was wondering two things. First, is it better to do this work within FCP or would I be better off doing it in AfterEffects and two, which is the preferred package. I've read as much as I can about the three and the long rendering times of MB concerns me but I'm looking for the best quality and versatility that I can get. Digital Film Lab actually seems to be the best bet, but I'm concerned that there doesn't seem to be too many folks using it...

Thanks,

Matt

Well I've only used Magic Bullet and it's a great program.  very easy to use!  go in the Screen Grabs and Clips of DVX footage section of the site and find a topic called something like Music Video : Magic Bullet.  It's a rencent one!  You'll be able to see a nice final version of a color corrected with Magic Bullet.

Does anyone here have any experience with Color Finesse by Synthetic Aperture?

color finesse comes bundled with after effects pro version . great application .although it dosent have any presets like magic bullet.

Been using the Natress filters/presets to convert all my existing 60i footage to 24p when I need to. They look great. Everything is tweakable and render times are quick. It is less $$ too!
