Compressor & Magic Bullet issue

I might actually break down into tears if someone can figure this one out. I have looked all over the web tryin to find someone with the same issue. I have used Magic Bullet Looks through FCP and compressor for a couple years now with no issues. I am using Compressor 3.5 which I dont even remember upgrading to but notice the new options (ex. export for iphone/dvd etc).
My issue is when I export my edit to compressor the final quicktime file doesnt have any of my Magic bullet affects, just the std footage. When I export as a quicktime movie and do not use compressor the affects are there fine.
Anyone out there have any idea what I can be missing? I havent changed my procedure from what ive done from numerous edits.
Thanks
Joe

hi

Odd Code and Chinese Letters in Compressor Files / Magic Bullet Questions

Is anyone getting odd code in Compressor files they have rendered? For example, when I render a file, and check the "info" of the file, under "kind" I will have references to a plist and a bunch of Chinese symbols. The file seems to work fine, but I was just wondering if this code is due to a plist I need to remove or if there is a corrupt file working in Compressor.
Any thoughts?
Also, I used to have Magic Bullet installed on my computer, but when I did a reinstall of Compressor, the Magic Bullet Looks software stopped working. I have tried fresh installs with no luck. I can't even install a trial version of Looks or Quick Looks that works. Any ideas?
I had to reinstall Compressor when I loaded Soundtrack onto my computer. I didn't have an option.

What version of MBL do you have?

I am having problem when I am installing magic bullet look 1.4 please help

Hi, I am having an issue with my Red giant magic bullet look 1.4
When I am installing this plug ins I receive a message saying: your graphic card did not meet the minimum requirement but actually my graphic card did meet the requirement and I was looking at the requirement for this in website and my Gcard met the requirement. Why is it not installing?
please help me
I use premiere pro CS3
Win 7 OS 64bit
My graphic card is: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (Microsoft corporation-WDDM v1.1)
The minimum requirements for the plug ins are: Magic Bullet Looks supports a wide range of cards from both ATI or NVIDIA. For ATI cards, we require a 9600 XT or greater, or an X series card starting with the X700 series. Cards with greater model numbers and at least 128 MB of RAM can run the Looks engine.
For NVIDIA cards, we support the 6600 model and higher or QuadroFX 1300 and up. Cards with higher model numbers and a minimum of 128 MB of RAM can run Looks. For users working with HD images, we require that the video card have at least 256 MB of RAM. In all cases, we suggest using the latest video drivers for your graphics card.
Please Note Since all media is processed at 32 bit, you will absolutely need a 256 MB graphics card or larger. For newer cards from ATI and NVIDIA, we recommend a minimum of 320 MB of RAM. For 2K projects, we recommend 512 MB or a larger amount of RAM on the graphics card.

Run this.

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!

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!)

Anyone familiar with Magic Bullet software??

If so, I have a question. With all the new cameras that have features such as "cine-gamma" and more detailed control over color and image, is it necessary to even purchase/use something like MB anymore? I was interested in it at some point in the past, seeing as how the filters could help you achieve the elusive "film look." But, it seems these new cameras have that issue covered by processing it for a "film look" as they record, instead of you trying to fix it in post with MB.
Anyone had experience with MB and/or new cameras mentioned (Panasonic DVX100, for example)? I'd like to hear your thoughts. I'm beginning to look at new cameras; I've had my XL1 for nearly 6 years now, and although it's still a workhorse and still going, I'm liking what I'm seeing on the market.
Thanks,
Sean Kirkland

I have the Magic Bullet Movie Looks plugins. I also use a Sony HVRZ1U (which does NOT have true 24P) and tonight, as a matter of fact, I'm doing a shoot using a DVX100.
I'll say this: If you use the Magic Bullet plugins, prepare yourself for VERY LONG rendering times. Applying one of their plugins to even a small piece of footage almost quadruples rendering times. Unless you have a RAID 0 and lots of RAM or you're only doing a small piece...well, there it is.
The piece I'm doing tonight is, in fact, going to only be about 7 minutes total when finished, and I may actually apply some Magic Bullet to this piece when it's all finished. It's a promotion for a cigar company, and I think a certain look coupled with the the DVX100 may be pretty cool. In a way, your post is actually what got me thinking about this, so thanks!
I hope I've helped you in some way.

Fcpx with magic bullet green and pink flash frames

Hi I'm using fcpx with magic bullet. all recent updates. an imac 3.4ghz 32gb ram 512ssd drive and 512mb card. I keep getting pink and green flash frames whenever i colour grade in magic bullet.
first 22 secs of project were fine, next day I added to it, flash frames everywhere throughout the entire project. tried everything. is it a bug?
cheers

This problem is completely averted, for me (and reportedly most others), by exporting using "Send to Compressor" rather than using any FCPX presets. That is, no flashes or green/purple/upside-down frames show up in the final output.
I would hardly have believed that the "engine" used in Compressor is different to FCPX - but that is obviously (simplistically) the case.
This is also some confirmation that the problem is with FCPX - not the plugin.

Slow loading of magic bullet looks

Hello. I have GeForce GTX 670M video card and 32 GB of ram. Running on Windows 7 64 bit. Everytime i try to use the effect Magic Bullet Looks. I never get to see the image. It always loads slow and shows black background like pic below
Anyone know what settings to change to make it work

In addition to Peru Bob's hints (update the drivers, try to go back to when it worked, if at all), here's what I'd do:
clear Premiere Pro and MBL preferences (and try again)
create a new user ID on the system, try it from that user ID
check Red Giant forums to see if anyone else has a similar issue; post it if not
open a support ticket with Red Giant for the issue.

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?

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..
This is a link to our project we had this happen too. (Sound tweaking)

HELP: Keep Getting Error When Applying Magic Bullet Looks

get this error when applying Looks.
"After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Looks".
and then it says
"After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <2280>
<MCExportInfo: Destruct> <5> Destruct for 420462944"
I try to apply Looks to another video and I get a different error saying language registry key. I apply Looks to a third video and I get the dynamiclink error. It's like different error for different video. All 3 videos shot with different cameras.

Same problem here ! I have Vista 64 bit and Intel 4500 Mhd
driver. The issue is Magic Bullet Misfire works fine in Adobe After
Effects CS5 but it crashes with Magic Bullet Looks.
Have checked OpenGL in AE CS5 which are by default OFF, that is if you open Adobe After Effects CS5 and into edit and then click 'preferences'. Under previews there is ur OpenGL info. Click OpenGL, its says need to update driver or get a better OpenGL above 2.0. I think updating to new OpenGL may fix the issue. I have made a video with Magic Bullet Misfire and it works fine but the issue is with only 'Magic Bullet Looks' presets where the AE crashes.
So it cant be Windows 7, Vista or 32 bit or 64 bit issue. Probably a driver error or an internal Magic Bullet 1.4 or Adobe After Effects CS5 64 bit error.

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...
