Red Giant Summer Sale—40% Off Everything

Everything at Red Giant is 40% off, today only, with the coupon code summer40. This sale only happens once a year. It’s a great day to pick up the new Color Suite (which contains Colorista II and Magic Bullet looks) and Shooter Suite (with BulletProof and PluralEyes).

From the blog:

But it gets even better. Thanks to our new “Make Your Own Bundle” option, the more you add to your cart, the more you’ll save!

Here’s how it works for today only: Start with 40% off everything – then increase your discount by adding more than 1 item to your cart. Every item you add (up to 4 items) gives you an additional 5% off.  If you add 4 items to your cart (even full suites), you’ve earned 20% off the sale price. That brings you to 52% off!

The sale ends tomorrow, August 21, at 8:00 AM PDT, so get on it!

BulletProof Is Here!

Red Giant BulletProof is live!

Major congrats to the entire team at Red Giant. It’s truly been inspirational to watch them build this amazing app.

We made BulletProof because we needed it. It’s a filmmaker’s tool built by filmmakers. For real.

You’re on set. You’re shooting like crazy. Everyone’s asking you a hundred questions. You need to know that you got the shot. You review it. It’s perfect! But the first half of take one is the best, as is the second half of take three. You make some quick notes. Boost the contrast and warm up the shot. Pop in a few quick in and out points and check continuity instantly in a playlist. Circle that take. Rate it five stars for good measure. Copy/paste that warm, contrasty look to every clip.

All in seconds, all on your laptop, all using an interface that works the way your brain does and gives you confidence that your shots will make it home safe—as will your creative take on them.

The footage is checksum-verified and redundantly backed up. The clips you export drop right into your editor’s NLE with all those keywords, notes, and markers intact.

Where has this been all our lives?

BulletProof is available on its own, or as part of the new Shooter Suite, which also contains PluralEyes. Looks, Colorista, and the other Magic Bullet color correction tools are now bundled together as the Color Suite. If you have questions about how all this works, check out the helpful blog post over at Red Giant.

BulletProof Public Beta 2

Huge, awesome updates in this second free public beta release. I would totally use this one in production.

This may be my favorite thing we’ve ever made at Red Giant.

For a little while longer, you can try it out for free, and participate in making it even better.

My BulletProof Presentation at NAB2013

Now everyone can hear the last words I spoke in Las Vegas. Litterally right after getting off the stage, my voice left me completely. I had to draw a picture of an airplane and show it to the cab driver the next morning.

Just a reminder that the free BulletProof public beta is underway, and needs your feedback! Download it now and join us on the forum.
