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?

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?

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.

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?

Photoshop cc problem with Magic Bullet Looks 2 !

I am having trouble with using Red Giants' Magic Bullet photolooks 2 plugin with PS CS6 (32&64).
The standalone program works fine on its own but fails to launch properly from PS's filter menu. It tries to launch the app but then reports an error Sorry, an error occurred (12288), Corrupted memory profile, then an error Can't open dest profile. These errors can't be cleared except by going into task manager to kill the app. Photoshop reports the error as LooksBuilder failed to launch. Please ensure the application has not been renamed or moved from the install location and then Could not complete the Photolooks command because of a problem with the filter module interface.
Please Help
i heard that the fix is by the color management , but i dont know how

Disable those plugins until you can get an update from the plugin manufacturer. Just change the name of the folder they're in to start with ~ and relaunch Photoshop.
Also, the magic bullet looks have nothing to do with color management.

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.

Speedgrade FX freeze rendering or take up to 4x longer to render than Magic Bullet Looks

I've found that using a lumetri "preset" on a clip, the clip is played back beautifully in real time, however, when using my own speedgrade looks (with 2-3 looks layers) the clip plays back choppy (which is normal as it happens with magic bullet looks). But.... when it comes time to render... The sequence graded with Magic Bullet Looks takes as long as it always has in CS6, while the same sequence graded with my Speedgrade presets takes up to 4x longer and sometimes even freezes (causing an unknown error) both in Encoder CC and when exporting straight out of PPro CC....
I'm working with the untranscoded .MOV video files from my Nikon D7000
my machine is
15in Macbook Pro Late 2011
2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
OSX 10.8.4 (12E55)
I'm not sure if it's a bug or a settings issue... just trying to find out if anyone else is having the same problem. Thanks.

True... an oversight of a first time poster... Exporting is exactly what I meant... as a matter of fact regarding rendering int he timeline... ... when applying the Magic Bullet effect, you get the red bar and you can render and then you're all set... with the speed grade (presets or my own) it just remains with the yellow bar and plays a bit choppy, some effects more than others, but when it's time to export that's when it either does it extremely slow, freezes or displays the unknown error message...
I do like being able to create these looks with speedgrade and i thought it was an awesome step forward, but i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong as i don't think they would design it to take so much longer to export than MBL...
this is the link to my SG file... it's in a zip as exported looks from Speegrade

Image upside down in magic bullet looks viewer?

using fcp x 10.0.4 with magic bullet looks for weeks. Now when I apply looks and the looks viewer opens the image is upside down. Have deleted the looks preferences and then uninstalled and reinstalled but image remains inverted. How can I get image upright?

At first glance I thought it was a stunt pilot until I noticed the bit of ground at the top!
Seriously, I had the same problem after I updated FCP X to version 10.0.4.
Anyone else with this problem can cure it by updating Magic Bullet Looks to version 2.0.7
This is Red Giant's description of the problem and solution:-

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!)

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 :/
Here's a screenshot of the crash I get when I try to apply the Magic Bullet Looks 1.4 plugin to some source footage:
Source footage is a .avi file and my setup is as follows:
And for the video card I've got a ATI HD 5770.

Please stick with this existing thread about this issue:

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

I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
What are the audio settings?
What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
It could be related to the audio frequency?

I am not able to use Magic Bullet Looks with the After Effects trial

Jeff,
I am having troubles with downloading a trial. I am currently trying to find ways to edit videos using Magic Bullet Looks. I have found many ways, but when I go to download the Magic Bullet looks, it says After Effects cs6. For some reason it does not install even though I have the trial version of After Effects. So when I open After Effects, and go to the effects tab, it does not show up. I have looked on tutorials and many other ways.
I also tried downloading the trial of After Effects at, http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.htmlrfer
Please Help,

If you're having difficulty installing or using Magic Bullet Looks, then I recommend asking the folks who make that plug-in, Red Giant:

How can i make magic bullet looks recognize my second graphic card in my mac book pro 2009

That model MBP gives you a choice of cards to use – one at a time. it is not designed for them to run in tandem - splitting up the workload.
