Red Giant Software: Magic Bullet Suite Adds Support for Adobe After Effects 7 

Red Giant Software%u2019s Magic Bullet Suite Adds Support for Adobe After Effects 7: "Red Giant Software today announced the availability of Magic Bullet Suite 2.1. The software plug-in now supports Adobe After Effects 7. Magic Bullet Suite 2.1 also includes the robust DeepColor RT GPU render engine, which runs up to 7x faster than the CPU alone - allowing users to do real-time film look treatments on the desktop in standard definition. Comprised of 18 After Effects plug-ins, Magic Bullet Suite delivers a complete production pipeline for processing digital video footage for output to DVD, TV, or film."

Magic Bullet is a popular choice for making video look more like film, doing 60i to 24p conversions, and other indie digital moviemaker stuff. Now with OpenGL acceleration should make a significant different in rendering speeds.

I've been horribly remiss in NOT getting my review done of Magic Bullet for Editors, I need to catch up.

Mike, don't beat yourself up. We're just glad to have you back. :)
 
I was just wondering, and then looked it up: this is out for both Windows and Mac OS X. Still wondering if it performs any different on those systems?
 
So nice to have this work with After Effects 7 and get the speed bonus, now with the GPU acceleration, I tested a file in AE 6.5 and the render was 1 hor and 30 minutes and with this new version and my X800 was 13 minutes! Nice!!
 
Jonah - to answer Marijn Eken's question, were you on Mac or PC to get those new results?
 
Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 with an X800 and 5.5 gigs of RAM.
