Regular readers know I'm a fan of Red Giant Software's post-production plugins, as they offer a lot of value for the money (and that's when they're at full price). Because their tools are such a good match for DIY and indie filmmakers, this week I've got a special deal from the Red Giant folks: the color grading plugin Magic Bullet Quick Looks, normally $99, for only $25. 75% off. No catch. Quick Looks is a great way to get really dramatic results with just a click of the mouse. I can show you better than I can tell you:
Well, actually, Graeme Hutton can show you better than I can; here are his before and after shots using Looks:
Note Graeme was using the full version of Looks, which adds a lot of customization abilities and retails for $399. However, I'm pretty sure he was applying the above looks using the stock settings, so you should be able to achieve the same results using Quick Looks. if you purchase Quick Looks with today's discount, you can upgrade to the full version of Looks for $299, so if you like Quick Looks and want the extra controls of Looks (of which I'm a user), you'll still be saving $75 by using this coupon.

As with the last Red Giant discount I posted (now expired), there's no financial incentive in this for me -- it's just a good deal for you. I should include the official blurb here as well, though the example video and deep discount should be plenty convincing...
