Mojo (Magic Bullet Mojo) released

Adobe After Effects, plugin by Thorsten Meyer on September 11, 2009 No Comments »

RED GIANT SOFTWARE did release Mojo. Mojo provides a simple way to make your footage look like an action movie. Modern blockbusters often use a subtle coloring effect to warm up actors’ skin tones while backgrounds and shadows get a cool blue treatment –– but the trick is to do it while keeping your talent in focus. Magic Bullet Mojo gives you this modern Hollywood look in seconds, with easy customizable controls to suit any footage. The three Skin controls let you fine-tune skin tones within the overall Mojo effect. Skin Color nudges the skin tones of actors of any race, eliminating unwanted color casts.

I have been using Mojo the last months during the beta phase and have found Mojo a reliable and really easy to use tool which enhanced my footage quickly.
