CS6 Install of Magic Bullet Colorista Free

I'm considering installation of Colorista Free (C-Free) for use with CS6.
I've researched download and install steps, but they could be interpreted as being useless unless CS5.5 had already been installed on the target machine.
(The instructions are to dowload, install, then move items from a CS5.5 folder(s) to a CS6 folder(s).
My CS6 installation was done to a brand new, vendor-built computer, for which the vendor installed CS6, and the computer never had CS5.5 installed. Consequently, there are no CS5.5 folders for C-Free to be installed to, nor would there be CS5.5 folders to move from.
My fear is hosing my current CS6 installation, which is working very well for me.
Has anyone installed MB C-Free to a CS6-only installation? The correct steps to follow would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Colorista Free is not compatible with CS6 and causes crashes, so it's a moot point. They promised to fix it but they never did. For anything beyond that contact Red Giant/ check their forum and support.

Red Giant Magic Bullet Colorista... FREE!

OK, so maybe that subject is a little misleading
Red Giant has made available a free version of Magic Bullet Colorista; it's stripped down in comparison to Colorista II (at least that's my understanding... I don't use Colorista) but still has some decent functionality. It works in both Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5, and previews quickly even on my older laptop with DVCPROHD. Regardless of functionality, free plug-ins are good plug-ins
Get it here: Red Giant Software: Free Products
(You can also get Knoll Unmult for CS5 there; unfortunately, this version doesn't work in Premiere Pro CS5, whereas the earlier version worked really well in CS3/CS4. It works well in AECS5, though.)

Make sure that Magic Bullet Looks and After Effects are both up to date. If your AE version is earlier than CS6 then make sure that you have the proper versions of AE and Looks installed.

Magic Bullet Colorista & Color correction w/o it

I can't seem to make Magic Bullet Colorista to install on my system and I've given up with it. I'm just curious, is there any way to do what it does with the AE supplied effects? Maybe some tutorial on it? Sorry, I haven't done much of the color correction before.
Thank you!

The 64 bit version of Colorista for CS4 and CS5 has only been out for a few days, I think. So unless you tried this brand new version, your test was not an accurate representation of what the software can do on your system.
The key about these types of after market plugins is that they claim to do things faster than you can do otherwise. You can certainly do great color correction with the included tools right in AE. But which is "easiest" and how often to do you need to do this is the question that one should consider to determine the worthyness of an external plug-in like this one.
I agree that Red Giant was a bit late to the game with their 64 bit compatible plug-ins. They should have seen this coming and got them working long before CS5 came out. They act like they are doing their customers a favor by releasing 64 bit system compatible plug-ins and charging for the upgrade in the process. I can see where they are loosing a lot of potential clients due to this.

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...

Installing 'Exsisting' Magic Bullet

See, I have AvidMediaComposer as our main editing app with MagicBulletLooks 1.3.
If I can remember it correctly, it included a plugin for AE.
How can I enable it for AE?
Thanks.
Adobe Products / System Information:
CS6 Production Premium, Avid Media Composer // Mac Pro/8-Core Intel Xeon/2.4 GHz, 10 GB RAM/ATI Radeon HD 5770

Yes, sorry it was not clear...I meant the 'other' free plugs they give away. I want to try them at least if my old Looks license will not work with AE-CS6
Thanks!

Magic Bullet "V" FCP Color

Anyone use both? Whats your thoughts, which is better? Heard that color is pretty hard to use??

Here is my thought.
Are you a colorist? Then don't use COLOR. Color is a highly professional color correction application. It isn't as simple as the 3-way, it requires a pretty strict workflow and set of codecs. It has a lot of settings internally that you need to do right. CAN you pick it up? Yes...I have, because I had to. I have two tutorial DVDs and I had a week to play and figure things out. I even had people I could call and have them help me figure out the more trickier aspects. And I STILL only use the PRIMARY room.
Are you just an editor that wants to produce great looking color corrected footage? Look at Magic Bullet COLORISTA. It has a very familiar looking interface (looks like the 3-way), allows you better control over the colors and allows you to push them to the extremes more that the 3-way allows. And you can color correct in FCP. You can monitor your timeline the way you normally would if DV via firewire. But if you are working with HD then yes, you need an HD monitor and HD capture card to see how you are REALLY affecting the colors.
MB Looks? That is GRADING software to give your footage a certain look. It does not allow you to view this footage on an external monitor (from what I have heard) so you cannot really tell what it looks like. Plus you can only see one frame, not the whole clip, so if the shadows and highlights change throughout the shot, then you can't see that to adjust. But you can use that to get a basic look, then tweak with the 3-way or Colorista.
Bottom line...if you are not wanting to be a colorist, I say avoid COLOR. Use Colorista or the 3-way.
(NOTE...Colorista still clamps anything over 100IRE down to 100IRE, so you need to adjust it down with the ProcAmp or 3-wa before you add Colorista).
My Humble Opinion. Color isn't simple to use, and isn't for everyone.

Which Magic Bullet.

There seems to be a few magic Bullet editors on sale,
Red Giant Magic Bullet editors
Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite
Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite Unlimited Bundle
Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite Render Unlimited
Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite Upgrade
Red Giant Magic Bullet Bundle
The editors is chaper but I dont wanna buy that on eto find out that I have to spend more money on it going forward. Any ideas which one to get?
Daz

Editors is an add-on for Final Cut Pro, Premiere and a couple of others. Suite is for After Effects only, with a few extra tools for 24p conversion. I don't know about the others.
But Red Giant's site is not showing these any more. They are only offering Magic Bullet Looks and Magic Bullet Colorista. These are more advanced tools so it looks like the others might have been discontinued.

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.

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:

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)

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.

Magic Bullet in CS 6

I had the CS5 bundle and Premiere was bundled with a Magic Bullets Look starter plugin. Does it come with CS6 Cloud Version? If so, how do I download/install it? Thanks!

It does not 'come with' CS6 (as far as I know), but it does 'work' with CS6 once you have the plug-in.

Make sure that Magic Bullet Looks and After Effects are both up to date. If your AE version is earlier than CS6 then make sure that you have the proper versions of AE and Looks installed.
