The software was called 'Magic Bullet,' and while I was no conspiracy theorist, I became a believer in the 'Magic Bullet' theory after spending just a few minutes on their website Red Giant Software looking at samples. Two years ago, a friend told me about this 'amazing' piece of software that would take 60i video and convert it to 24p (twenty-four progressive frames per second) making it look 'just like film.' In addition, I was told that the software came with a 'Look Suite' which contained customizable controls and presets that simulated different film stocks and 'looks.'
