I think this is more for filmmakers but I suppose it would for stills just as well. I think this will be a killer solution considering they've made a vast improvement to Pluraleyes since purchasing it from those other folks. This will be like Lightroom or Bridge for filmmakers. I can't wait!
+James Gass great point.. it is very possible I read that entire thing as stills when it is really all for "footage" – good catch…
if this is the case – this might be even more interesting for some…especially those of us that have no real video work flow…
I would love to get +Doug Kaye's opinion on this as a viable tool for Photographers. 🙂
+Frederick Van Johnson & +Brent Burzycki: As +James Gass wrote, Red Giant's tools are for video. Their tools are quite good a getting better. (Disclaimer: I have a business relationship with Red Giant who owns the technology that underlies the Levelator, which we distribute at The Conversations Network.)
It could, however, be a useful tool for photographers getting into shooting DSLR video. It may offer a semi-familiar workflow much like using Lightroom for stills. That still depends on how Bullet Proof will integrate with NLEs like FCPX, Premiere Pro, etc..
+Doug Kaye you are behind levalator? I never knew that… thats a great little application…
So the question is – even thou its for video – is it truly for DSLR video…and workflow..
