PP CS4 crash - because of magic bullet stabilizer??

I'm using PP CS4 and I have a wedding video that I've been working on and it all of the sudden crashed on me. I used time machine to pull up an older version which opened fine but I lost the hours of work I put in. So I tried again to open the file that crashed and it worked. I sent it to the media encoder to render out but woke up to an "unknown error" message. I'm back to being unable to open the file with all the work.
My hunch is that the problem is an effect, more specifically Magic Bullet Stabilizer. This is only a guess but I remember it acting funny when I dropped it on the video layer. (It didn't seem to work and it would freeze up a little.) I could be wrong, other effects I'm using are Magic Bullet Denoiser and a bunch of standard color effects.
When I try to open the file I see what looks like chopped up pieces of an error message and my desktop background in the project window and then it crashes. I'm unable to do anything before PP crashes.
If anyone can help, please do...
Thanks...

Hi there,
I have seen crashes using Magic Bullet Denoiser in Premiere Pro CS5.  Red Giant says Denoiser is currently unsupported for CS5, and I assume that goes the same for CS4.  The Denoiser compatibility notes are here:
http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-denoiser/compatibility/
Unfortunately, I don't have compatibility info on Magic Bullet Steady for CS4.  I know it is discontinued for CS5.  Perhaps you could contact Red Giant directly to ask them.  Even better, if you could post back your results for other users who may have the same question.
Cheers,
Zac

  • FCP Crashes while using Magic Bullet Looks

    Hi All,
    We have recently installed Magic Bullet Looks onto our main edit machine. However, using it causes FCP to crash with really annoying regularity. It seems to be related to either auto save or thumbnails (opening a sequence with Looks applied and it will crash while loading the thumbnails onto the timeline for example - that could be a coincidence as it crashes in many other situations as well but always when working with MBL))
    I've tried the usual preference trashing things but can't stop it happening. Anyone had any similar issues that they've been able to resolve? We aren't yet running Snow Leopard but I may try that as a potential solution.
    If it matters - the machine is dual 3.2 quad core with 6GB of RAM running FCP 7. It also has a Blackmagic Extreme card (tried turning external video off - no difference)
    All thoughts greatly appreciated,
    Regards and a happy new year to all,
    Richard

    Couldn't agree more Jim - hence why I'm not using Snow Leopard yet as I had a nightmare in the early adoption of an older operating system. As for MBL, there seem to be many using it without problems so I don't think it's an issue with the product per say and it really is a very good plug-in. (That view will change to excellent once the problems go away) I just need to get to the bottom of which square peg is destined for which round hole and I'm hopeful that all will be well. I've also submitted a support question to Magic Bullet so will update if I get a solution. I like the CleanApp idea. I'll try that as well. (and I may even give Snow Leopard a go!)

  • Final Cut Pro 7 crashes while using Magic Bullet Look, any idea why this is happening?

    everytime i open the filter, final cut pro 7 crashes, anybody else having this issue?

    Angel,
    You may have better luck posting in the Final Cut Pro forum. This is a general iMac forum, not many users on this forum use FCP.
    Good luck!

  • Crash in After Effects CS5 When Applying Magic Bullet Looks 1.4

    Hey guys Magic Bullet worked fine for me in CS4 but it's not doing so well in CS5 :/

  • After Effects CC 2014 Crashing with Magic Bullet Looks on Mac

    Hi,
    I recently installed the upgrade to the latest After Effects CC 2014 v13.0 and found the Magic Bullet Looks now causes After Effects to crash. I'm using MBL v2.5.2
    I opened the Activity Monitor and noticed that whenever the crash occurs the Adobe QT32 Server is in a state of (Not Responding)
    On a clip I can apply the MBL plugin with no problems and even if I am copying a previously set up version from a previous clip, it applies and renders without trouble. I can click "Edit" on the plugin controls, open up the MBL control window and make all the adjustments I need without any trouble. The issue is when I then click either "Finished" or "Cancel" to go back to After Effects. The program freezes and I get the spinning wheel of death for about ten seconds and the the whole thing, MBL and AE shut down.
    I am running:
    MacBook Pro
    OS 10.9.4
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i72.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
    Cuda  6.0.54
    The footage is Apple Quicktime ProRes HQ
    I have Quicktime v10.3 installed and Quicktime Pro v7.6.6
    I am at a loss as of how to fix or even work around this. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    There was a bug in MBL on Premiere CC 2014 that was causing crashing and lockups. Red Giant released an update quite quickly that so far seems to have fixed it for me. I know you're talking about AE but maybe there's some common code that was also fixed? As Rick says, have you checked the latest ver of MBL?

  • XML Crashing FCP while importing.  Magic Bullet Looks could be the problem

    Hi All,
    Need a little help here.
    I am using FCP 6.0.5 on a power mac G-5.
    I am trying to open an XML which was exported out of FCP 7 as a version 4 XML.
    Magic Bullet Looks is being used on the project, and I think this is were the problem is.
    when importing the XML it crashes FCP when I select the Include Video/Audio Effects.
    When I import the XML without this option selected it opens fine.
    I have MB Looks Installed on machine, so the Plugins are there.
    Just wanted to see if anyone has dealt with this issue or might have any insight to the problem.
    I can post the Crash info on the specific thread if that can help.
    Thanks!

  • Crash upon return to FCP from Magic Bullet Looks

    Problem:
    MacPro 2.8Ghz, Early 2008, Nvida 8800GT GFX Card, FCS3, Decklink HD 10.6.4, Magic Bullet Looks 3, ProRes 1080 footage cut on ProRes 720 timeline.
    After returning from placing a grade on a clip in Looks, at the first click of the mouse inside FCP, the whole app crashes. Digital Rebellion - Crash Analyzer says is a Graphics Cards/ Driver issue and the crash is related to quick draw!.
    Everything on the System is updated.
    I don't believe that the GFX card needs to be updated and work on other suites using older hardware and don't have this issue.
    Anyone know anything more as to why this would be happening?

    Hello, good, I need help because I have been dating a message to start photoshop, which tells me card graphics is not supported, and attempting to open a plugin, such as Magic Bullet Looks, to put ok, shut me photoshop, and this had not happened to me before, what can i do?

    I did a quick google search for "Magic Bullet Looks plugin"  The first one I found does not even seen to be a Photoshop Plug-in  Is this the plug-in your trying to use in Photoshop? Seems to be for video editing software.  Photoshop can do limited video editing but is not listed as supported by this plugin.

  • Magic Bullet Colorista II 64 bit After Effects CS5 crash

    Red Giant Magic Bullet Colorista II 64 bit After Effects CS5 (windows 7) crash after apply to composition.
    There are messages I get before After Effects are down.
    Can I can fix anything?
    Thanks!

    Colorista uses OpenGL acceleration, so it's probably graphics related. Without knowing what card you have and what your settings are it will be impossible to advise, but of course look into the configuration, update the driver, work at a lower resolution and all the otehr usual first steps of tracking down the issues...

  • FCP X 10.0.7 crashes w Magic Bullet & Redcode

    Just bought FCP X 10.0.7 and Magic Bullet Looks 2.
    As soon as i apply Magic Bullet Looks to a Red video clip, FCPX crashes.
    I don't understand the problem, since i've seen people doing this during IBC 2012 in Amsterdam: import Red footage, drop on timeline, apply magic bullet.
    Tried fully removing both programs and reinstalling without any avail.
    I need to start editting next week!! Help!

    See the Red Giant web site. I don't believe Looks are working with 10.0.6 or .7.

  • Encore cs4 crashes upon creating a new file

    I recently purchased the Production Premium CS4 and when I try to run Encore or Premiere Pro, when I make a new file the program will quit and give me an Adobe crash submit screen.  I have tried chaging the sizes and types of the files I create, defragging the harddrive, reinstalling Encore and Premiere, installing updates, all to no success.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Usually, the problems with Roxio are in relation to its DLA (packet-writing) module and Encore "seeing" one's DVD drive. In a Custom Install, one can choose to not install this (plus a little indexing/cataloging module). Usually, just the necessary parts of Roxio do not cause that many problems. However, uninstalling it, to do a Custom Install, can pose a problem, as the little tentacles seem to reach everywhere.
    I have the full DivX package on my workstation, and the CODEC's on my laptop. To date, they have played fine with Encore2, though I do NOT use any material that uses that/those CODEC(s) as Assets - only for my conversion program to convert to DV-AVI Type II for work in PrPro, and to Export to DivX for streaming (again in PrPro). Does not mean that a more recent version of Encore might not have a problem with it.
    Now, many games love to "hook" various aspects of a computer system, when they are installed. This is to wring the most performance out of the computer. This would be an area that I'd look at very, very closely. One place to start would be any fora for the particular games, and also reviews on gaming sites, that test and report. Look for any comments about games that need to boost the performance of any sub-system on the computer. Back in the later DOS/early Windows days, I had a separate boot disc for almost every game, because each needed RAM, and graphics managed in special ways. Now, the system requirements are so very much greater, than way back then. Would be worth an investigation.
    Wish I had a "magic bullet" for your problem, but only see things to qustion and nothing that screams out at me.
    Good luck and please report back,

  • Adobe premiere pro cc 2014 freezing with magic bullet looks

    Hi-
    I'm running windows 8 with this software and I'm getting intermittent crashing when trying to work on any project when I'm also using magic bullet Looks on it.  The frustrating thing is that it used to work fine in premiere Pro CC, but using the 2014 version is very unstable.  Also, I cannot go back to using the non-2014 version because the file format is incompatible with the older version and I don't have another version saved.  I've already done hours and hours of editing in 2014 only to keep having crashes.
    Is anyone looking into this or has any recommendations so I can get work done.
    Thanks!

    I don't use magic bullet Looks but is that a 3rd party plugin?
    If yes, have you checked with the vendor to see if it needs to be updated for the new structure of CC 2014?

  • Adjustment layer and Magic Bullet Looks corruption

    I often find using the adjustment layers to apply colour correction an easy trick and therefore love the concept.
    However, I've recently noticed that PP CS6.0.2 does not like MB Looks to be applied to adjustment layers all that well.
    On two recent projects, the primary sequence has become corrupt (PP loads and quits immediately) and I have to recover the edit by copying the none adjustment layer tracks to a new sequence and then relinking the media.
    Today, I spent 4 hours recovering another complex sequence and wanted to know if any other person has had a similar experience applying MB Looks to an adjustment layer?
    A word of warning to others who might be thinking of the same 'trick'.
    Perhaps I am expecting too much of the adjustment layer concept.
    Thanks for any responses.
    J.

    I found myself here because... I was trying to open last saved project and it just crashes.
    I did use Magic Bullet "Looks" and "Cosmo" on both footage and adjustment layers.
    "Panic... Drink Coffee" !!!!! idea !!!!
    Uninstall Magic Bullet
    Launch CS6APP
    Open same project file warning you don't have plugins installed.
    Delete the "Adjustment Layers" (you won't be able to get the adjustment layer settings back but, you will get the edit back
    Save project "new name"
    Re-install plugins
    Re-open CS6APP
    "new name" project file opens fine without the adjustment layers.
    But wait!!! Why should you uninstall Magic Bullet?????
    Open a new project
    Import entire project file into new project
    Go to media bin and delete the "adjustment layers"
    Find last Sequence that had the adjustment layers and you can go back to working
    We put finishing effects on entire or even sections of full edit
    1. Select edit < New Sequence from clip... apply effects on new sequence
    2. Not "adjustment layers" BUT!!
    2. Right now I found this just be an issue with RedGiant plugins I'm going to pass this post along to them..
