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.

BulletProof Free Public Beta

BulletProof, which Red Giant revealed at NAB, is now availble for download as a free public beta.

You’ve got a great camera, you’ve got a great editor — how do you manage everything between them? BulletProof is a complete media prep solution that bridges the gap, with a workflow that simplifies how you handle footage every day. Offload, backup, organize, review, color, deliver: BulletProof has your back at every step. Whether you shoot with DSLR or a GoPro, BulletProof lets you focus on your story and get to the editor fast.

Get it now, and join us on the forum to report bugs, suggest features, and help us make it great!

The public beta is Mac only for now. The Windows version (which was also demoed at NAB) will be released later as a free update.

Haunting Melissa

From the App Store:

Veteran storyteller Neal Edelstein has reinvented filmmaking in a way that brings the power of hypnotic, episodic content to the iTunes Store. Viewed exclusively on the iPhone and iPad this frighteningly haunting story is released in sporadic and unexpected ways that will leave you constantly guessing, and constantly engaged.

A horror movie delivered directly to your iPad or iPhone, a little at a time. Push notifications alert you to new chapters. Pay a little for each one or buy a Season Pass.

And it gets even more interesting than that.

Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? Great work Neal!

Download the free app. Haunting Melissa on the web and on Twitter.
