Magic Bullet takes a year to render

Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

I'm getting quite close. Here are samples. The horizontal band in the center is Magic Bullet. The bands on the top and bottom are mine.

These looks render about 9 times faster than MB.

Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

Why are you guys still using Magic Bullet? I thought the main attraction to that program was the 24P feature. We get that for real now. Are you guys attracted to it's filmic timing preset ?
 
Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

It's the looks, not the 24p.

I'm closing in on most of the looks which came with Vegas 5, and the five free ones, too. Having some problems with White Diffusion 5.0, and "Ohio" will only pop up occasionally for some reason (and I have no idea why it's called "Ohio." I grew up in Ohio; I can assure you, we did not wear 1/2 CTB translucent glasses everywhere we went).

A very interesting project indeed... :)

Just wanted to point out that I stumbled across some presets this weekend within Vegas which do look promising, though I only actually had a chance to test one of them out. If you go into the colour curves fx in Vegas, there are 3 presets in there right at the bottom which suspicioulsy "read" like filmic presets (not that I know much about these, but "Kodak 25**", "Kodak" sound suspiciously like film stocks ??...not to mention the dead giveaway, "filmdv", which is the third preset available....) and since we already enjoy the 24p/25p anyway...

I gave one of them ago, albeit on the wrong kind of footage (interior, low light) but the results I think would look good in more controled lighting situation...

Anyone else tried these out? Just thought they might be useful in replicating some MB looks from within Vegas...

All the best,

Paul.

Ps. vegas 5b here: not sure if they are there in previous versions...
 
Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

I believe it's called "Ohio" because it's based on the movie Traffic, and didn't the blue sections in Traffic take place in Ohio?

Yeah. Cincy. They took the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood and made it look worse than it actually does -- and if you're familiar with the area, that's a feat.
