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?

Hi -
Check this out - it restored functionality for me (don't know if this is the latest info, this is the link I had on file):

Render Problem with Magic Bullet Looks

Can't render effects from Magic Bullet Looks with Final Cut Pro. I receive this error message: 'The effects looks failed to render: your hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth.'
However, it renders fine with CS4.
The graphics card I have is the ATI RADEON HD 2600 XT. 256MB
All this is on the same computer.
Any suggestions?

Did anyone know?

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!)

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

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?

Magic Bullet Look Suite 2 Messing Up FCP

I just installed Magic Bullet Look Suite 2, and now whenever I try to open FCP it tells me it has quit unexpectedly. You know when you first open the program, and as it's loading there's that box in the middle of the screen with the name and logo of the application? Well, in there you can see all the parts of FCP that it's loading, and when it gets to Magic Bullet Look Suite 2, that's when it closes. I've tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling the files, but every time it causes FCP to close. Does anyone have a solution so that I can use Look Suite 2 without FCP closing every time?

I had an older version of the Magic Bullet plug ins and I just downloaded the newer version and my serial number worked fine.
I did actually have one of the filters crash a render yesterday... so not all is good on my system either.

Has Anyone Been Able To Make A Custom Look In Magic Bullet Looks?

I believe a lot of FCP users also have Magic Bullet Looks installed. I also wonder whether you have been able to make a customised Look as described in the Help section?
I can alter a Look and go to File>Save and save it to a place of my choice.
However, I can't do it as described in the instructions, nor do I have a "Custom" folder.
This is how you are told to create your own Look:
+The name of the current preset Look is shown at the upper left of the Tool Chain. When a New Look is applied or No Look is chosen, the label will display Untitled Look. Double-click the name to enter edit mode. Clicking Enter again will create a new preset look with your custom name in a new category called Custom Looks.+
The Help instructions say double click the Look's name at the top left of the Toolbar and the edit mode will open.
All that happens is that I can alter the name but the moment I click it again it reverts to the original name (Untitled) and nothing is saved.
I am wondering if this works on PCs but not on Macs.
Any help would be appreciated.

Got it at last!
For the benefit of anyone else who is puzzled, this is how it is done. The original instructions were actually accurate though confusing.
1. Double click "Untitled" and add your new name.
2. Simply click the Enter key and the highlighted name should return to normal.
3. Your Look will now be available with all the others in a newly created folder called "Custom".
The original instructions were actually accurate though confusing

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)

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.

Red line with Magic Bullet Looks

Magic Bullet Looks in the Video Effects panel shows as a 32 GPU accelerated effect.
However, when I add it to a clip in timeline one, two or three, I go from no lines (including yellow) to a red line above that clip.
If it's a GPU accelerated effect why am I seeing a red line above the clip when I add that effect?
My card is a 285 that works fine with everthing else.

Magic Bullit Looks is not a accelerated effect, so that is why you are seeing the red line.
Effects with the icon on the left are accelerated.

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!
-Lok

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?
