Cheaper Magic Bullet type processing for PC?

[Rikki]

Just wondering if there is a cheapy program that will do the same kinda thing that magic bullet does to footage, eg: Matrix/CSI@NY it with a green cast, or CSI@Miami it with more orange etc.

I know thats a massive simplification but just wondered what was out there for noobs like me to play around with.

Thanks

What editing software do you use??

Sony Vegas has very powerful color tools, so if you know what you are doing you can reproduce a lot of what MagicBullet gives you for $300, for free.

Ive not decied on a new NLE. Currently usng the toy known as PowerDirector. I think Im going to give Vegas a go!

Rikki, Euginia is correct. I use MB also but you can also re-create most of the looks within Vegas (beats the extraordiary amount of rendering time using MB).

If you're just interested in the color schemes, check out Film Magic Pro through videocopilot.net . Really good, but does not alter framerate. Much cheaper.
Not sure what programs it will work with, other than AE. Of course, if you have AE you can adjust the color w/out anything else.
