I think you're referring to Celluloid in place of Magic Bullet? Celluloid uses Vegas presets to implement its effects. Magic Bullet does not. I would imagine that a comparison in render times could easily be 20 - 50 times faster than MB when using Celluloid. i'm not sure if direct times have been posted. May not hurt to run the test and try it.

I haven't tried Celluloid since it's been included as one package, but the author let me see some early stuff and found that he was getting render times on the order of 9x faster than the equivalent Magic Bullet setting.

The VASST web site claims up to 85% faster. You can download the trial and see for yourself.

Actually, ReelPak-1 plugs into both Celluloid and Ultimate S V1.1 so both tools can share the same looks. Celluloid is an updated version of just the Film Looks tab in Ultimate S. Ultimate S users can upgrade to Ultimate S V1.1 for free and get the new Film Look functionality (we added some new features in the free update). Ultimate S users can also buy just ReelPak-1 and plug that into Ultimate S 1.1 for the additional Film Looks.

I didn’t follow this comment. A fully functional 7-day trial of Celluloid is available from the VASST web site. ReelPak-1 us available for Ultimate S users. I didn’t get the “one package” comment (there are actually 3 packages). There will be more ReelPaks in the future with more looks. The new ReelPaks will plug into either Celluloid or Ultimate S so both will be expandable with new looks. (i.e., you only need to buy one of the tools and there is a discounted upgrade path from Celluloid to Ultimate S)

What I meant was, the last time I saw the Magic Bullet look emulations were when they were first being developed, before David was working with Spot and they made a package deal. So I don't know how their integration may have changed anything (if at all) but back when he first developed the looks they were about 9x faster rendering than Magic Bullet was.
