An LS3 file contains a package of "looks," or filters, that can be applied to video to alter its appearance. It is supported by various video editors and effects programs, such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Apple Motion with the Magic Bullet Looks plugin installed. LS3 files are typically used to share effects between Magic Bullet Looks users.
