Does Red Giant Software, (Look Suite) use CMYK graphics?

Hello friends,
I am trying to color correct my FCP project with FCP and Look Suite from Red Giant, but it continues to give me the "out of memory" error when I try to render. Is this because Look Suite is using CMYK graphics? Also does the new upgraded "LOOKS" use it as well?
Clever Wolf

Not familiar with Look Suite but It's fairly well known that FCP does not like CMYK graphics and will give memory errors and crash when it has to deal with them. So if you know that you are getting CMYK from LS, I'd say that's the problem. It does sound odd though that a program made to run with FCP would work in CMYK.

  • Does FCE 4 work with the red giant software?

    Wondering if the new FCE4 will work with red giant software? prior to it's release it only worked with FCP.
    if not what company would anyone recommend for similar film effects? bleach, cool blue, etc.
    thanks
    tp

    not a bad idea.. you do mean a red giant demo, i assume. however - I have a g5 non pentium (prior to isight) (imac) and i am told that i couldn't run the new FCE4 with that. so it isnt installed yet.
    i think today i may purchase a new 24 in imac today... they are 100.00 off online!
    thanks
    i'll try the demo.

  • Does anyone have any info or used this graphics card?

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to find a way to hook up my Play Sation 2 to my Mac (since I don't have a TV) so that I can use the display that I have to play games on. I found this card but I can't find anyone who knows anything or reviews about the Alchemy TV DVR card here is the link;
    http://www.miglia.com/products/video/alchemytvdvr/index.html
    This one is in my price range and on the surface looks exactly like what I'm looking for. Do any of you know anything about this or something around this $$ range that will work? Thanks again in advance for all the help, and any would be great.

    well...i have no clue why spending $50 on a cheap TV isnt on your mind instead of investing in that AlchemyTV DVR (which isn't really a graphcis card).
    sure the card sounds awesome, capture analog TV and record TV onto your HD.
    just like some tivo but for your Mac.
    good luck.

  • CODEC Support - Red Giant Bullet-Proof Understanding Ingest-Export Sequence Choices?

    I shoot with a Canon EOS C100 that records AVCHD internally. I also use a Ninja Blade to record DNxHD at 220 Mps. I find no built-in support for either of these formats in Bullet Proof and Premiere Pro. Is there a reason for that?
    I'm trying to understand why the default export is MJPEG. For some reason, I thought that was an old codec no longer used. And it takes forever for Bullet Proof to export it. I have a very fast computer with an X99 2011 v3 chipset and 64 GB RAM, an Areca 12G RAID controller with a 16TB RAID 5 attached. And SSD for backup storage.
    I don't mind editing MJPEG. I just don't know if it is the best I could do, or if it's better to edit the original AVCHD. In other words, If I ingest AVCHD footage, is it best to transcode it to MJPEG or another format for editing? Since there is no preset for AVCHD, what then should my edit settings be?
    I also still do not understand the reasoning for the complex folder structure coming off the C100. I have read that it is important to leave that structure intact, but I don't see the benefit. Premiere has no use for it, it seems.

    with the constant changes to adobe's software, its helpful to know which version we are talking about. alot of people ask questions here with older versions of the software... 
    if premiere doesn't get your footage right when making a new sequence, then choose one that matches the footage the best by resolution and fps. you can also click on the settings tab, when making a new sequence, to customize it exactly to your needs. you can even save this as a preset that will show in the first tab with the default presets, so if you plan on using these media alot, you wont have to remake the custom sequence each time.
    im not exactly sure what all you do in bulletproof, so i hinted at prelude since it does let you transcode to alot more codecs. prelude is an ingest program, you can trim clips (but only if transcoding), add metadata & markers, and have it export to multiple locations as the original and/or in different formats. prelude will only show presets when transcoding, so if you need a different one you will have to open adobe media encoder and make a new preset in there. then it will show in prelude. i like red giants software, but bulletproof export codecs seem rather limited. if the pass-through option just copies and doesn't re-encode then that might work for you.
    when exporting from premiere you can also choose a preset close to your media and then customize it to your needs. you can even save it as a preset to recall later. i would stick with dnxhd for export, especially if you plan on bringing it back into premiere. dnxhd is very high quality if choosing its high bitrate format. there are several options for dnxhd 220, one should match your Ninja Blade. these are found under the quicktime format and video codec as avid dnxhd. its also available in mxf format.
    adobe's presets try to cover a wide range of cameras and media but can only cover so many, new ones coming out all the time... in sequence settings and export you have full control to customize it to your media and needs.

  • 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.

  • 100% cpu AE7 using Magic Bullet Look Suite 2.0

    Hi
    My pc is over 2Ghz and has 2 gigs of Ram and a high speed hard drive. My video is onboard but usually does very well with video rendering.
    The only problem I seem to have is with Look Suite 2.0. I dont bother trying out the latest because it doesnt work with onboard video.
    Anyway, 2.0 used to work perfectly fine for the 2 weeks I was rendering. But, recently it started giving me the "unknown exception caught by look suite" error. There does not seem to be a real fix for this.
    But I monitored task manager for awhile while compiling projects. Loading effects filters like Curves, Twixtor and others didnt phase the CPU a bit. But after loading Look Suite and going through the presets, all of suddent the cpu went 100% and never came back down as long as AE7 is open. Even if I disable the plugins nothing changes.
    So I tried saving the project with the plugins disabled in the composition. Then closed AE and reopened the project. Instant 100% cpu. Next, I deleted the Look Suite plugin from the composition. Reopened the project and everything was perfectly fine.
    LOOK SUITE has some kind of incompatibility issue either with AE7 or another plugin that was running. I cannot be sure.
    But the bottom line is this. Who's responsible? Adobe or Red Giant?
    Red Giant doesn't seem to have a clue what to do. I dont want to upgrade to a version that works only with higher end graphics. I tried changing memory settings in AE and it really isnt needed. I am guessing the "unknown exception" is caused from the CPU overload because it pegs out the cpu while rendering and uses more and more of the page file as it runs, until it finally fails. But if Looks Suite wasn't already loading up on the cpu I would not have a problem. And, a week ago it wasn't hogging the resources. SOmething went snap.
    Sorry for the long rambling.

    Nope, CPU usage and RAM usage are more or less unrelated. CPU usage is merely dependent on the number of threads/ sub-threads/ handles fired by a program and since the Celeron D only handles a limited number of them, it is quite predictable that it will frequently peak an queue requests it cannot process immediately, when e.g. on a Xeon the same operation would barely register. Updating the processor may improve performance, but it mostly depends on the kind of effects you are using. If they are not particularly computationally intensive like several color correction effects, the benefits will be minor. if on the other hand you use a lot of Blurs and Glows for instance, the speedup may be considerable. Regardles of this, having lots of RAM and processing power is never a bad idea ;-)

  • Red Giant Looks - Totally Gone

    Ok, I feel like I'm going out of my mind.
    I upgraded to CS5 a couple of weeks ago. I went through the usual agony upgrading plug ins and finding out which ones would no longer work because of compatibility issues. My main filter package, "Vitascene" by ProDad, no longer worked. So, I purchased Magic Bullet Looks, which I was quite happy with and promptly completed two small projects with it.
    I already had their Starglow and Shine, and saw that I had to pay for an upgrade for those programs to be able to use them on CS5. I purchased the upgrades. I installed both of them and only Shine would appear in the "Trapcode" folder in the effects tab. I was too busy to follow up on this until today. I called their tech support and we discovered that the files for Starglow had been written into a random file. We corrected that problem, by installing Starglow in the correct folder :
    local disk/program files/Adobe/common/plugin/cs5/mediacore
    Well, all that did was make Starglow show up, but Shine no longer showed up in the trapcode effects folder in PP.
    The tech person had me start PP while holding down the shift key, until the Welcome screen appeared, and told me this would reset the plugins. I did this, and when I went into the program again, Looks was totally gone, and Misfire (a free set of plug ins that comes with Looks) was still there, but only 2 of the 14 plugins were in the Misfire folder. Starglow appeared, but no Shine.
    The only suggestions Red Giant support could give me was to install and uninstall the programs - which I did about 20 times since then. I even uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled it (plus updates).
    So now, what I have is all the plug ins in their proper places in the media core folder, but nothing appearing in PP except Starglow and two of the misfire plugins.
    I'm at my wits end. I've got two projects in process that depend on these filters. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks all,
    Jessica

    Bill, good advice...  is best to go slow and be sure on that stuff....and if necessary make "notes" to self about what you do (hierarchy location,  key and value changes )..
    Colin...I've had some weird stuff happen with servers using multiple instances of SQL server ( on the server ) and my experience has been that in some cases stuff is programmed very loosely by some companies...where this area of the OS gets confused and doesnt give "permission" when it should...component services...I wouldnt be surprised if that isnt where the problem comes from ....as it will write to the registry re: those permissions etc..
    Maybe if you have a similar prob in future you could check out this area before checking the log and registry..and see if its coming from here ??
    I dont mean "permission" like admin and powe user etc... but in terms of the computer "name" aliases and stuff like that

  • Premiere CS 5.5 freezes when Red Giant Looks is open.

    I am using Premiere CS 5.5 and the program freezes when trying to save while Red Giant Looks is open.  I have no clue why and it's very difficult to add and edit the effects when this happens because I have to restart the system.

  • Red Giant Looks not showing preview on Premiere Pro CC ?

    We used to use the Looks on Premiere Pro CS6 since last year and it was the best color grading tool for us.
    Now we just got the update for CC and installed.
    Looks installed and showing on effects panel. But the main thing is missing!
    THE PREVIEW to apply the looks.
    Earlier it used to show the preview of video cursor and it was easy to apply from that preview.
    But now the preview is missing.
    See this screenshot,

  • Just installed Red Giant Trapcode Suite, now AE CC will no longer import or recognize jpeg files?

    Have tried trashing AE Preferences, deleting Media Caches, etc to no avail. Also get red outline or screens on AE Start Up or Quit?
    Anyone else experienced anything like this??
    Installed on Mac Pro 4.1 running OSX 10.9.5, 36GB RAM, Nvdia Quaddro FX 4800.

    In fact all prior projects that utilized a jpeg or png for an Environment Map, background, composited layer, etc., etc. have all links broken and will not reload or replace footage already in projects. 
    Trapcode Suite 12 downloaded from Red Giant for CC and installed properly.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    When I attempt to scan wirelessly, it presents and error message asking if the scanner is turned off, or I need to have a USB connection to the laptop.
    Thanks - Joel

    Hi JoelAK,
    Wireless scanning is supported, however, it appears you are using the wrong version of MP Navigator EX.  The version that is appropriate for your device is MP Navigator EX VER. 5.1.0.  This application can be downloaded from our website.  
    On this site, be sure you have the most up to date drivers as well.  Once setup, try the scan again using the correct version of MP Navigator.
