Re: Magic Bullet and Colorista trouble in CS4

Colorista is excellent. I'm using a Mac OS 10.5 on my tower and Snow Leopard on my macbook pro.

Only been a Mac guy for a year or so and I don't remember ever using it in Premiere when I was a PC guy. I do all my color correcting in After Effects.

On this project, though, I cut it in Final Cut, then used Automatic Duck to bring it into After Effects to color correct and make every shot look good.

Then every day my client wanted a teeny little change that I couldn't do in After Effects and I had to make the change in Final cut, import it again into after Effects and REDO ALL of the color correction and stuff.

Finally I realized I could import the AE project into Premiere (CS4) and tweak it there, then go back to AE to quickly render it.

Colorista caused problems because I used it in every shot, almost. Once I disabled it, I could bring the project into Premiere and do my tweaks, bring it back into AE and reenable the effect.
