when using magic bullet looks on a video it applies - alongside color corrections and such - a frame, some sort of wrapping mask thingy - a black outline for the video the gives the center a bit more focus. You can see it pretty clearly here:
I want a png of that. Just that. I am searching Google for all kinds of word combinations but nothing. What is this effect called??
it's a vignette. Here's a tutorial on how to do it.
If you add a black solid layer to a comp, then feather the edges, and invert the mask, you'll get the basic effect. Beyond that, some people used coloured solids (e.g. just off-black in one colour or another). You can also apply a blur or defocus effect towards the edges of the image, if that's the look you're going for.
