If you love the way your footage looks before Mojo, try the “Mojito” preset-it’s just a little bit of Mojo. If what you need is color correction, then reach for Colorista. Q: I tried the demo and Mojo makes my footage look terrible.Ī: Mojo is designed to work with footage that’s pretty solid to begin with. Skin tones tend to fall right in between. Try reducing Mojo Balance-it’s the control that determines what’s a shadow and what’s a highlight. Q: I applied Mojo but my skin tones aren’t popping.Ī: Your faces might be underexposed a bit. Try turning the Mojo slider down instead of up when you first apply it. We provide the tools, you provide the taste. Personally, I love the way it looks, when done tastefully. Is it overused? Sure, but that’s because it works. Q: Isn’t this look just a cheap gimmick? Just a trend that could pass in a few days/weeks months?Ī: Maybe, but in another way it’s an evolution of practices many years old in color correction suites around the world. Here are some preemptive answers to questions you might have about Mojo: Mojo is also now a part of the Magic Bullet Suite. One license allows you to use it in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid, After Effects, and Apple Motion. It’s simple and easy and priced to be an impulse-buy at $99 US. Unlike Looks and Colorista, Mojo is a bit of a one-trick pony. It gives you that Mojo thang with just a few simple sliders to adjust, and ships with presets for popular looks. It does one thing, and does it quickly and easily. Magic Bullet Mojo from Red Giant Software is the pocket-sized screwdriver to Magic Bullet Looks’s cordless driver drill. Sometimes you just want to take your footage that already looks pretty darn good, and give it a little bit of… Mojo. But sometimes you just want to spruce up your footage quickly and easily, without a hundred presets to peruse or a powerful colorist’s interface to manipulate. It’s more than possible to achieve this look with Colorista or Magic Bullet Looks (check out the Blockbuster preset-it’s been there since day one).
