Rendering with magic bullet instant hd advance

i'm trying to change the video resolution on my sd videos to 1080p hd.
what is the best way to do so to get the best results??
the quailty on my sd videos are good.I just wanna make them 1080p and if possiable make the quailty even bettter with magic bullet instant hd advance.

You can't spin hay into gold, so have realistic expectations of what a plug-in can do.
The Red Giant website has a few before and after clips. (But keep in mind, these are best case scenarios) I have had mixed results with Instant HD. It's not a miracle Easy Button.
Here's something I've wanted to test: capture video with a Blackmagic/AJA board and an upscaling DVD player (like a PS3), using 1080i and analog component connection. PS3 has one of the best consumer hardware upscalers available. Hmmmm... maybe I'll try it this weekend. I'll post my results

Problam with magic bullet instant hd advance

after i changed my sd video to 1080p and added magic bullet instant hd advance i set it so that it renders in h.264 codecs but every time i tryed i got this message.

The H.264 format only permits a limited, constrained set of frame sizes. In After Effects CS4, these constraints were communicated in the Comments field of the H.264 Export Settings dialog box, and you must follow those instructions or else get the error message that you got.
In After Effects CS5, if your settings don't match one of the sets of settings allowed by the H.264 specification, then a warning icon in the Output Module Settings dialog box appears, and After Effects tells you what it's going to do to make the video fit.
The F4V format (which contains video encoded using H.264) has a different set of constrained sizes, including the 1920x1080 size that you're looking for. And other formats (like QuickTime) aren't constrained in this way at all. So, you might have better success choosing a different output format, if you need that output frame size.

Magic Bullet Instant HD Advance Is Tanking forever to render

Don't know if it normally takes this long to render in Adobe After Effects CS4.
I have a 64-bit sytem and I hardly got anything on my pc just a few music and music videos so its probably not the computer.
I must of done somthig wrong.Heres what I did.
I imported my 4:3 video then I draged the video under the project panel once i draged the video under the project panel it created a new comp.
I double click it and it open in the timeline panel then i selected the time panel by pressing ctrl+k the new com press setting opend and in the comp I set the resolution to 1920x1080 and the aspect ration to square pixels.Then I scale the video till it fit the comp.
After I did all that I added magic bullet instant hd advance to the video.I set the output to HDTV 1080 ( 1920X1080 ) so that it maches.
It's been it's now 2 hours and still it's rendering.It's says that it's rendering 1 of 2 what's that about?
Does it render with the plug-in and with out?
Anyways if someone reads all this can u tell if I did anything wrong.If so explane what I did wrong and how to do it right.

it frezes up and pauses threw out the whole video eveytime.
don't know why it does that when i upscaled the video without magic bullet the video was blurry but when i added magic bullet instant hd advance the video wasn't blurry anymore instad the keeped frezing and pauseing.

Anyone else is having problems with magic bullet instant hd 1.2?

i've tried to download the trial from there website but it had a virsus and i couldn't install the trial cuz my norton block it.
did anyone eles had this problem?

I just installed Instant HD onto two different systems with PPro CS5 5.0.2, and Instant HD 1.2 isn't working on either one. It gives me an error, then crashes PPro. I sent a bug report to Red Giant, but I haven't heard back yet.
Something is up with the plugin...seems to work fine in AE.
As for internet access, I don't have antivirus software on my edit machines, but I also can turn off and on the internet connection. I just keep it off most of the time...

Magic Bullet Instant HD Converter

Hi Gang
I downloaded the trial version of this HD converter, but I don't really know yet if it's worth it. I always thought there was no way in the world anything like this would really work. In a sense I guess all it does is perhaps enhance standard def footage. It can never create something that wasn't there in the first place.
Does anyone have any opinons or results using this software???
http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-instant-hd/
Thanx
Mike

Hey ttom
Thanx for this - this program is cheaper than the Magic Bullet program. But is it for a MAC or PC? Wonder if it's as good? But it sure looks easy to use.
How bout this one;

Anyone else out there have any experience with the Magic Bullet HD converter?

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.

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?

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.

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?

Rendering times - Magic Bullet & Nattress

I love the fact that Nattress works inside of FCP, but before I buy I'd like to hear about rendering times. Up til now, I've been using Magic Bullet. How do the two stack up, in terms of time they take overall to get to the finish line?

I performed just those tests and reported my findings here:
www.lfhd.net (near the bottom).
I put a bleach bypass filter form both sets onto a 41 second DVCPRO HD footage. MB took 22 min, Nattress took 7 min. But I expected that. Nattress has a reputation for not only quality, but speed.
THEN I received a copy of Magic Bullet Editors 2 which I was told would render faster. And it did. Same bleach bypass filter took 7:55. But take note, render speeds are not only processor based with MBE2, but also graphics card based.
MBE2 is $349, or $99 if you bought MB AFTER July 2005. Nattress is still $99, and still faster.

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?

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.
