Magic Bulet Looks 3.0 includes a new Color Space Tool that makes it easy to work with any kind of footage, from video to log. Used in conjunction with the new Tool Pinning feature, this means any of the 198 new Look presets work perfectly with any camera.

There are many more of these short tutorials to come! To make sure you see them, follow Red Giant on Twitter and Facebook.
