The rest of the suite exists within your editing software as plug-ins, conveniently located in the “Red Giant Shooter Suite” and “Lut Buddy” folders in your effects bin. Pluraleyes will save you tons time syncing multiple camera and audio tracks, even with periodic clip breaks. Four tabs at the top of the program essentially walk you through the four steps: Import, Review, Refine & Export, and extremely user friendly dialogue makes the process pretty straight-forward without any tutorial. I jumped right into the program I had the least experience with, Bulletproof, and found myself up and running in no time. Most of the products in the Shooter Suite are intuitive enough to use right away with little or no tutorials required. While I’m assuming Frames hasn’t changed much in the last few years, I was admittedly pretty excited to check out the new features of the other plug-ins and try out Bulletproof, Offload, Denoiser II and LUT Buddy for the first time. I’d also used Frames awhile back on my first feature to deinterlace some 60i footage and convert to 24p back in the old days before we all had cameras that could shoot progressively. Pluraleyes has been my go-to for sound syncing over the last few years, and I was pleased to see Instant 4K in the bundle, as it’s basically an update of Red Giant’s older product I used often – Instant HD, which intelligently upconverts footage somewhat better than just blowing it up in your editor. Frames 1.1 handles deinterlacing and frame rate conversion.Instant 4k upconverts HD or SD footage to higher resolution.Denoiser II removes unwanted grain and noise from low light shoots.The indispensable Pluraleyes 3.5 can be used to save tons of time syncing multiple camera shoots.LUT Buddy allows you to import, create, save and use various LUTs in Bulletproof or inside your editing software. Bulletproof 1.2 and a new program called Offload 1.0 allow you to backup and enter metadata in the field or back at your desktop. I was excited to get my hands on Red Giant’s Shooter Suite, which is essentially a bundle of many of their stand-alone products and plug-ins (at a discounted price in this package) that mostly pertain to the ingest of footage and preparing yourself, or someone else, for the edit.
