Magic Bullet Suite

What is Magic Bullet Suite?

Magic Bullet Suite is a color grading and finishing toolkit from Maxon/Red Giant, designed to give editors and colorists the tools to create cinematic looks, correct colors, and add stylized effects — all inside their editing software. It’s a collection of multiple plugins — including Colorista, Looks, Denoiser, Film, Renoiser, and Mojo — each addressing different aspects of post-production.

How does Magic Bullet Suite work?

Once installed, each component of Magic Bullet Suite appears as its own plugin inside Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, or Resolve (some tools are NLE-specific). You can mix and match tools — for example, use Colorista for precise color correction, then Looks to apply a stylized cinematic grade, and Denoiser to clean up noisy footage. All tools are GPU-accelerated for faster playback.
