PANASONIC OFFERING FREE MAGIC BULLET SOFTWARE

For a limited time only, Panasonic is offering Red Giant's Magic Bullet Editors software (a $299 retail value) FREE with the purchase of a AG-DVX100A DV Cinema camera.


Magic Bullet Editors, a software plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Xpress Pro, and Sony Vegas, includes dozens of Movie Looks presets for applying Hollywood-style finishes to digital video projects -- adding dramatic moods easily and affordably.


"Since its debut last summer, the AG-DVX100A and Magic Bullets Editors combination has been highly attractive to customers," said Jan Crittenden, Product Line Business Manager, DVCPRO50/DVCPRO products, Panasonic Broadcast. "Magic Bullet Editors ideally complements the DVX100A's biggest asset, which is putting a genuinely filmic look within the reach of aspiring cinematographers."


Inspired by popular productions, such as The Matrix, Saving Private Ryan, Traffic, and Amelié, Magic Bullet Editor's 55 custom-designed Looks alter shading, contrast, and tints of scenes to mimic the elusive look of 35mm film. Users can choose to use preset Looks from a pop-up menu or customize their own film treatments, which they can save in the Library feature. The software also includes the film damage creation tool, called Misfire, which accurately recreates characteristics of old film, including grain, splotches, and scratches.


Magic Bullet Editor' professional-level effects were developed by Stuart Maschwitz at The Orphanage, whose extensive filmmaking career includes many years at Industrial Light + Magic.


Under the terms of the promotion, Magic Bullet Editors is included FREE with the purchase of a new Panasonic AG-DVX100A in the United States from Panasonic Authorized Dealers and Resellers.
 
Re: Extras with DVX100

I was lucky enough to get in on this when I bought my camera back in July. It's pretty cool to play around with, though the render times are a killer.

I've heard that if you use an app like vegas (even Premiere) you can emulate lots of the Magic Bullet looks anyway - would be great to hear from anyone who's achieved this (maybe you could post your settings/self-made plugins!) :)
