It should be pointed out that the original footage used will have a big impact on the results of the Look Suite as the following images point out. The left column contains the Look Suites from the previous page, while the right column contains footage shoot outdoors against a red brick wall.

The Other Plug-ins One of the dead giveaways that something has been shot on video and then given the “film treatment” is during the transitions. In video, a cross-fade from one shot to the next is a linear dissolve, in film the blacks and whites tend to hang around a bit longer than the mid-tones giving film a more distinct look. The Opticals plug-in of the Magic Bullet Suite allow you to create realistic optical transitions that look very much like film.  The Letterboxer plug-in does exactly like the name implies creates black bands at the top and bottom of the image to recreate various aspect ratios. When you tweak contrast, color, and saturation of an image, you run the risk of generating values that are outside the legal broadcast range. To prevent images from being too hot, the Broadcast Spec plug-in ensures that the video will meet NTSC broadcast standards.
