What's new in Magic Bullet Frames?
Magic Bullet Frames is an all-new package for converting your interlaced video footage to standard 24p in a variety of platforms. The tools are very similar to the former Magic Bullet Suite tools for film output in After Effects. However, some tools have been renamed, and a new tool for fast frame rate conversion has been added to the package to support After Effects and Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Motion.
Broad Application Support
Magic Bullet Frames has been created to run properly as a plug-in to a variety of host applications, including Adobe After Effects (7.0/CS3), Adobe Premiere Pro (2.0/CS3), Apple Final Cut Pro (6.0x), and Motion (3.x and later). Note that the former Magic Bullet Frames Plus tool set is included in this package but still depends on After Effects. Only the Frames and Deartifacter tools run across all platforms.

Magic Bullet is now Frames Plus
The plug-in formerly called "Magic Bullet" is now re-named Frames Plus. The features are the same as the former Magic Bullet filter in the Magic Bullet Suite 2.1 package. It still is an After Effects-only tool and it still delivers the quality that many independent film makers and broadcasters have relied upon for years.

The new Frames plug-in
The new plug-in in the package is called Magic Bullet Frames. Frames is a fast way to convert media from interlaced to 24p. It is particularly aimed at NTSC to 24p conversion in the editing timeline, but can be used for simple deinterlacing as well. It includes two deinterlacing modes, Blend and Motion, as well as built-in letterboxing and the ability to move the media position up or down veritcally inside the letterbox area.
