HI, I just updated my FCP X to 10.0.3, and I redownloaded and re-installed the latest of Magic bullet suite 11, but I cannot see magic bullet look anywhere in the video effects category. Just wondering if I am doing anything wrong?
Make sure you got the latest version. There was a slight lag there. http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-looks/updates/#tabs
FANTASTIC.
Any word on if you’re planning a Colorista update anytime soon?
Does the sale apply only to a version that runs on FCPX?
Kerry – it’s all one download. Buy it for one host, get it for all. That’s part of our Red Pledge. So in short, the sale is for Magic Bullet Looks 2 – all of it.
Hi and thanks for this great update! Makes FCPX much more valuable 🙂
Have you noticed basicly almost all plugins soften picture little bit in FCPX? Just added Looks to SD anamorphic material without any effect and noticed this softening. Also FxFactory plugins does it. It’s very obvious with SD material (and with SD anamorphic is even worse). I guess there’s some strange scaling going back and forth how these plugins work through Motion templates. I know it’s not your fault but maybe you can push Apple developers to fix this thing.
Tapio,
Thanks so much for the information! We will have someone look into this issue. Please contact support if you notice anything else.

You made the update FREE?!? You guys seriously rock, hands down. Rock, rock, rock!
Does the sale apply to the Academic version as well?
Dan – yes. it does apply to Academic prices as well. Have fun!
Kaylinn, okay I tested little bit more and it seem to be related to non-square material and that’s why SD anamorhphic is worst but even in HDV 1440×1080 you notice softening. I guess FCPX feeds everything to plugins as square pixel and that’s why there’s all kind of scaling involved. Nex if I found more I’ll open support case 🙂
Just wondering if this new version for FCX supports keyframing of Looks filters elements eg. vignettes, blurs etc. as was planned for the FCP but never eventuated?
Or is AE the only choice if you want to keyframe Looks?
Cam,
Unfortunately FCPX does not support keyframing of Looks. This appears to be a limitation within the host application that we are currently looking into.
As of right now, After Effects may be your best choice to keyframe Looks.
Thank you,

Does the discount apply to upgrades?
Patrick,
The discount applies to the full version of the product, not the upgrade.
I’m sorry about that! Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

I also downloaded the new final cut, and the top version of MBL (2.0.6) and installed a trial version of Magic Bullet Looks (into a folder named MB Suite Mac Full 11.2.1). Restarted the computer and when I pull up FCP X I get no Magic Bullet Looks section like you show in the video, only the default “looks” section that came with final cut at the the beginning. Does it not work with the trial? or did I go wrong somewhere else?

From now on, will any FCPX correspondence of Effects Suite be in such a form?
ITO,
There is no ETA on the release date for the Effects Suite and FCPX as of yet.
We will let everyone know once we release further compatibility.

Has anyone had this problem: The look you create looks different in the looks builder than when it applies to the clip in the timeline. My looks appear much darker on the clips in the timeline than they do when I am tweaking them in the builder. Any one else noticed this?

I figured it out! Dunno if you can delete my comment 🙂
On your video above, after clicking “Edit”, we can see photo of “the Man” in Magic Bullet Looks.
When I click on “Edit”, I do not see the image appear in the video FCPX selected. But a gray rectangle with an arrow inside this rectangle.
How to bring up the image of the video in Magic Bullet Looks instead of the Gray rectangle ?
Thank you
Thomas,
Please make sure that your FCPX is updated to 10.0.3. This issue happens with the older version of FCPX.

You wrote: “As of right now, After Effects may be your best choice to keyframe Looks”.
Is it the BEST choice or my ONLY choice? In other words: Can Motion 5 keyframe Looks too or not?
macuser96 – You can only Keyframe the Look in After Effects and Premiere Pro on Windows. That’s it. We’ve heard that it can be done in Sony Vegas (http://screencast.com/t/VD68ift7PM4Q), but we have yet to be able to re-create that ourselves.
Hey!
Thanks for the FCP X Looks Suite!
Do the Misfire components work for FCP X? …. they were fun in FCP 7! If not, will they ever?
Thanks
Lee
Lee – Currently, no. In fact, it’s not even a feature we advertise as a product feature, though I love them. Right now there is no set plan to port them, but if that changes, we’ll let you know.
After Effects is currently the only host that can take advantage of key framing capabilities.

Just wondering if you plan to release quick looks to the fcpX line up
Peter,
No set plans as of yet. But we will let everyone know when we release further compatibility.
Thanks!

I noticed in your video, you were using a Lift/Gamma/Gain control but I cannot seem to find that anywhere in my tool palette. The only way I can seem to get to it is by applying the blockbuster preset and getting rid of everything else. Do you know what’s going on because Looks is much more valuable to me if it can use LGG controls.
Lift/Gamma/Gain and Offset/Gamma/Gain have been removed in Looks 2.0 . They will load into the Tool Chain when you open a Looks 1.0 file, However, they are not available in the Tools Drawer to use on other projects. When opening a Looks 1 project, these tools will appear with their Gamma controls. These tools are still present in Looks 2 but now have the Gamma control removed. Also, the 3 Way Color Corrector tool is still in Looks 2. However, it has been renamed the Color Ranges tool.
This information can be found in the User Guide located in your installer.
Hopefully this will help.

Hi Kaylinn , thanks for the replay. Shame quick looks is not in your plans to release. Well I guess I’ll have to find another plugin.
Matt,
I had the same issue, but noticed I had the built in color filter on, with a modified correction 1. I turned it off and the it looked the same.
Hope it works for you.
Very excited to finally try Magic Bullet Looks. I just have one quick question. If I purchase this am I able to put it on my imac and macbook or do I need to buy two copies. Thanks.
Gavin,
In our license agreement it states that you can install on one desktop and one personal laptop but you cannot run the product at the same time or you will get a serial number error.
Please let us know if you have any other questions!

The new NB for FCPX is great, but what I’m really hanging out for is primatte for FCPX
Matt — Did you ever find a solution to your darker footage in FCP X issue. I have the same issue. (Raymond – thanks for the suggestion, but even unchecked the image is still darker (and noisier).
Hola quisiera consultar si esto puedo instalarlo en la tarjeta de memoria de una canon t3i

Hi, I also habe the problem that when you are in MBL2, you can’t see color corrections made with the color module perviously in FCPX.
Also I think that the FCPX color module is rendered on the footage after MBL2. I couldn’t find a way to re-arrange the effects. This is a really big problem since I want to do a basic color correction in FCPX before I go to MBL.
Daniel,
I have started you a Support Case so we can further look into this issue and contact you for more information.
