Magic Bullet plugins and FCP

I'm trying to resurrect an old project, wherein I'd used my Magic Bullet plugins. That was two or three versions of FCP ago. My FCP 6.06 says it can't 'load' the MB plugins for this resurrected project. I check the FCP Plugins folder and they are there - along with my Nattress filters etc., in a folder marked:
Magic Bullet Editors FCP +(k)
Perhaps the protocol has changed. I've changed houses and studios at least three times since I made that film, and can't find my MB manual and whatever info might help me to reconnect plugin to project.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated...

I'm just thinking I could get a lot of the same effects using Color, couldn't I? I remember a bunch of presets in Color that reminded me of the Magic Bullet stuff.
I'm off to check that ... though I'd have to redo the color corrections from scratch ... but I've been meaning to start using Color for awhile; time to start...

  • 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.

  • Magic Bullet Plug-in & FCP

    Hey,
    I've got a slight problem that I hope isn't a really big problem.
    I installed some "Magic Filter" Plug-in filters into FCP,
    and they loaded into my plug-in folder fine,
    and look great in my effects folder,
    but when I go to use some of those newly installed filters...
    my FCP application closes out.
    The literature said that the filters were for FCP4.5 & up,
    and I am presently running FCP-5.1.4,
    but could that be where the problem is?
    Are these plug-in filters too old to be using?
    Has anyone had problems like this after installing additional filter plug-ins?
    If so what do I need to do to remedy this?
    Some of the filters are pretty cool, but if it is gonna cause problems with FCP,
    then I don't need them that bad.
    Thanx,

    Go to www.redgiantsoftware.com and look for any updates they might have. I seem to recall that you needed to get updates for the Magic Bullet Suite in order for them to work with the most current version of FCP.
    I know I had to, but a while back.

  • Magic bullet plugins premier

    Hola a todos.. tengo una duda y les agradecería mucho si pudieran ayudarme con esto.
    Instalé premier Pro y magic bullet Looks.. primero no me reconocia el looks por mi capacidad gráfica. Partí a comprarme un Tarjeta de Video (gráfica), ahi pude abrir el Looks. pero mi problema es que en el "builder" hago todos los cambios que deseo, presiono Ok, y la pantalla de previsualización del proyecto queda en BLANCO.. como que si estuviese bloqueado el efecto. Yo creo que debe ser alguna configuración, porque cuando en el control de efectos desactivo el "Looks" vuelvo a ver la pelicula.
    Por favor agradecería si pudiesen ayudarme con esto, o alguna orientación.
    Saludos

    Hola, Daniel:
    ¿Conseguiste resolver el problema? A mí me está pasando exactamente lo mismo.
    Por favor, si has averiguado algo nuevo, dímelo.
    Gracias.

  • Black magic intensity pro and fcp 5.14

    hi i just installed a black magic intensity pro card to my system since i was having real bad times caputuring anything without dropping many frames and not good video using my sony hdr-fx7 camcorder. well now i get general error 34 messages when i click on audio-video settings. any one with this card can help me please. yes i only have 2 gigs of ram at the moment but i'm getting 2 more are coming today. i should still be able to use my s.d. camcorder and caputure sd footage right?
    i tried my autosave vault files, but it still pops up with the general error 34 message.
    thank you

    +thanks for all replies.i installed 2 more gig of ram making 4 and the error 34 still shows+
    Maybe nobody replies because nobody has a solution for your problem...
    Anyway... I think the best way to solve the problem is to contact the Blackmagic support since it could be an issue related to their product rather than an FCP issue...

  • Magic Bullet Looks in FCP - Why do I get a Green Checkerboard with Red X?

    This is probably really simple, but....
    When I drag the MB LOOKS effect into the viewer (or the clip in the sequence) it immediately produces a bright green checkerboard with a red X from corner to corner. It also appears in the Canvas.
    What is this? Is it a mask? I can't edit with it, and i need to get this going.
    The version of MB I'm using is a trial version.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Yes, the green matte is only affecting the clips I apply Looks to.
    I am using Looks Builder version 1.3.4.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

    hi
    i've the same problem!!!!
    Some news??

  • PP CS4 crash - because of magic bullet stabilizer??

    I'm using PP CS4 and I have a wedding video that I've been working on and it all of the sudden crashed on me. I used time machine to pull up an older version which opened fine but I lost the hours of work I put in. So I tried again to open the file that crashed and it worked. I sent it to the media encoder to render out but woke up to an "unknown error" message. I'm back to being unable to open the file with all the work.
    My hunch is that the problem is an effect, more specifically Magic Bullet Stabilizer. This is only a guess but I remember it acting funny when I dropped it on the video layer. (It didn't seem to work and it would freeze up a little.) I could be wrong, other effects I'm using are Magic Bullet Denoiser and a bunch of standard color effects.
    When I try to open the file I see what looks like chopped up pieces of an error message and my desktop background in the project window and then it crashes. I'm unable to do anything before PP crashes.
    If anyone can help, please do...
    Thanks...

    Hi there,
    I have seen crashes using Magic Bullet Denoiser in Premiere Pro CS5.  Red Giant says Denoiser is currently unsupported for CS5, and I assume that goes the same for CS4.  The Denoiser compatibility notes are here:
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-denoiser/compatibility/
    Unfortunately, I don't have compatibility info on Magic Bullet Steady for CS4.  I know it is discontinued for CS5.  Perhaps you could contact Red Giant directly to ask them.  Even better, if you could post back your results for other users who may have the same question.
    Cheers,
    Zac

  • Black line appearing when using Magic Bullet

    I have installed the latest Magic Bullet suite and it all works fine within Premiere, except when I apply a Look. In the Looks Builder the image looks fine. However, when I go back to Premiere a black line appears on the left hand side of the image. In the Effects Control if I click on 'Motion' or the effect itself, 'Looks', then the black line disappears, but it then reappears when I click off or try and render the image. It is unclear whether the error is in Premiere or with Magic Bullet. I am working with HDV widescreen footage. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure that the properties for LooksBuilder.exe are set to run in Windows XP (Service Pack 2) compatibility mode. It may help. If not, provide a lot more details and start with the 16 questions at the end of the included Wiki link:

  • 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 Grinder x Conform in Cinema Tools

    What is the diference(if exists) between convert 29.97fps to 23.976 using Magic Bullet Grinder and
    Conform in Cinema Tools?

    None. Does the same thing. When it comes to 720p60...Grinder will also convert it to 1080p. Cinema Tools will not.

  • 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.

  • Magic Bullet v2?

    Anyone have the new Magic Bullet v2 for Editors along with the 7800 nvidia graphics card and can confirm real-time playback? Red Giant Software is claiming it runs magic bullet v2's look suite in real time with the 7800 nvidia card. Let me know if you got it. Thanks !!!

    yeah ... I have the 6600 nvidia card and its pathetic My CPU usage is only at 25% cause its pushing all the workflow to the graphics card [thats how they coded magic bullet v2] and my card *****. I noticed it changes the look of your older magic bullet files.
    Again .... if anyone has tested this please post.
