![]() The only way I could get either program to recognize GoPro footage was to insert the memory card from the camera into a card reader. I encountered one limitation with Offload and BulletProof on the Mac that isn’t really their fault: the Mac finder doesn’t recognize GoPro cameras attached to the computer. In short, it does most of the things I’d like an import tool to do. In Export you can export multiple versions, using different compressors, so you can export a proxy file as well as a high-quality version of the clips. In the Refine section you can perform color correction with color tools that include the Colorista 3-Way color corrector, curves, and LUTs. Where Offload does just one thing, BulletProof will let you copy and backup files, select which clips to process, lets you preview them, add meta data and color correction and then recompress and export in multiple formats. Red Giant BulletProof – ImportīulletProof has a very different interface to Offload and provides a much greater level of functionality. But if you are in the field and need a quick way to copy your content, Offload offers a simple to use interface which provides basic organization and should reduce the errors that can happen when doing manual copies. If you want to do any of those things, you want to use BulletProof. Things it won’t do: it won’t let you select specific takes to import (it’s all or nothing), there’s no way to preview clips, and you can’t recompress the content to another format. Each set of content can be copied to a new sub folder that has a name based on combinations of date and time. What sets it apart from manually copying files is that you can make a Backup copy at the same time. Its interface is simple you choose your import source device (or drive) and then specify where to copy the content. At $49, this tool is intended only for importing content. Both are tools designed for managing the import of footage in the field. It works with After Effects CS3 and higher, Premiere Pro CS5 and higher, Final Cut Pro 7 and Apple Motion 3 and 4.įor me, the two most intriguing products are Offload and BulletProof. LUT Buddy is a free utility for importing, creating and exporting Lookup Tables. Sometimes fine detail in the scene can actually seem more noticeably distorted when the rest of the image is “cleaned up.” If you want the very best results, you’ll have to adjust settings for each sequence. I found a combination of switching between Upper and Lower and Blend and Motion for Interpolation, as well as using the Instant 4K for the scaling, had different effects on different parts of a sequence. Deinterlacing isn’t always easy, particularly if you’re taking older SD material and planning to scale it up to HD. It costs $99 and works with After Effects and Premiere Pro CS 3 and greater. It supports After Effects and Premiere Pro CC and costs $99.įrames is a deinterlace plug-in that removes interlacing from old footage and will also convert to 24p. Now they are offering Instant 4K, which can upscale to 720P, 1080P 2K and 4K (including Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) and Full Aperture 4K (4096 x 3112)). Red Giant had an upscaling plug-in called Instant HD, which they discontinued some time ago. Denoiser II supports Adobe After Effects & Adobe Premier Pro from CS 5 upwards, but it only supports Apple Final Cut Pro 7. The latest release of Denoiser II, version 1.4, has GPU support that works with OpenCL 1.1 systems and can improve performance by three to four times. ![]() The Denoiser II plugin cleans up noise and grain in your image. PluralEyes is a standalone app and is sold separately for $199. Another new feature is the ability to correct for sync drift, which will adjust for differences between two tracks that can develop over a long period of time. The 3.5 release added support for more media types and new algorithms that are claimed to make it faster and more accurate than competing products. ![]() PluralEyes is perhaps the best-known audio/video sync tool, and it works without requiring the use of clappers or timecode. I was most interested in the two acquisition tools, Offload and BulletProof, but it’s worth running down the other tools in the package. The Red Giant Shooter Suite consists of the following applications: OffLoad, BulletProof, and PluralEyes, as well as the plug-ins Denoiser II, Frames, Instant 4K and Lut Buddy. Their latest suite consists of some new tools and some updated ones and is geared towards content acquisition and initial image manipulation. Well known for their easy-to-use color correction tools Magic Bullet and Colorista, they’ve also built up a wide collection of tools for keying and effects. ![]() Red Giant have been expanding their software offerings.
