 | Magic Bullet Looks MisFire not working with Premiere CS 6.0.1?
by Tam Nguyen on Aug 23, 2012 at 5:50:30 pm |
I have a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate machine that has Premiere Pro CS 6.0.1 with Magic Bullet 11.4.1. I shoot with a Nikon D7000, which is 24fps at 1080p.
Here’s my problem: when I apply the preset MisFire Dust or MisFire Splotches, I get an error during export that says “Error compiling movie. Unknown error.”
I’ve tried everything this troubleshoot http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/error-compiling-movie-rendering-or.h... suggests, no dice.
I tried applying the preset with different settings, no help.
Once I remove the MisFire Dust preset, I can export again. This leads me to believe there’s something wrong with the preset.
Does anyone else have the same problem? If so, do you know how to fix it?
One more thing: the MisFire Basic Scratches preset only works with low number or scratches (below 10 or something). If I raise it up, Premiere would freeze.
Thank you very much!

I have the exact same problem. I don't think it's correctable without a bug fix because I can't even render the timeline, let alone export the movie. This leads me to believe the issue is deep.
But report for Red Giant I say.

You wouldn't happen to know an alternative to Magic Bullet for the time being, would you?

Try to apply in Photoshop or After Effects?
Best,

That's actually a very good point. Duh. I don't have AE, but I have PS, which I'll try and report back later.
Thanks!

So Photoshop was a no-go. I exported the sequence out to H264 using .mp4 container; Photoshop wasn't able to read the file.
I tried it with AE. Same problem: I wasn't able to render the composition out; it failed after a few seconds. Export the project to AP didn't work, as said something about preset not being available.
/sigh

I have no trouble with misfire in 6.0.1.
Change the extention of the nikon files form mov to mpg see if that will help
File a bug report with RG.

Nope, changing the file extension didn't help :(

Sorry, I have "Photo Looks", but not "Looks" (great naming or what}? ;>)
Can you open just any .mov or .jpg, etc., file in Photoshop and apply that look?
What about Premiere? After Effects?
If so, that starts to narrow it to a specific aspect of your composition in After Effects - an Effect, like "warp Stabilizer". etc.
Then you might see if you apply the "Misfire Look", before you apply the "Effect"?
If not, it sounds like you have a more global problem with your install, or some software component.
I hope that makes sense?
Good luck!
Michael

MisFire Dust doesn't work even if the entire sequence consists of just one clip using one effect.
My question was about Adobe Premiere using Red Giant Magic Looks. If I had use other software to apply the effect, I'd be running away from the problem instead of solving it. And no, it doesn't work in AE either.
The problem might be global :(

Has anyone solved this issue? I'm running into the same issue in Premiere on my Winodws 7 x64 system with the 6.0.1 update.
I'm moving to 6.0.3 now to see if it helps. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've upgraded to AP 6.0.3 as well. When I applied the both the Red Giant MisFire effects, dust and splotches, on an adjustment layer instead of the actual video, it worked. I was able to export the entire sequence without any problem. Took a while though.
Hope that helps.

I was able to stack 5 (and counting) of the individual misfire effects on an adjustment layer after the 6.0.3 update. However overall misfire (the one with gateweave, splotches etc...) still isn't working. Only 2 stacked effects work if I put them directly on the clip. Hopefully the use of adjustment layers should work for me but I haven't done enough testing to know if it's full proof.
Is there a way to determine the version number of the misfire effect I have installed? Are updates Free for this?
Thanks for you're help.

Hmmm... I was able to stack the Dust and Splotches effects on the adjustment layer and have it export nicely. This wasn't possible before. Here's the final product: https://vimeo.com/51075813

I just emailed Red Giant about Magic Bullet Looks and Adobe Premiere CS 6.x, it has caused me no end of issues whenever I've tried to use it. It will apply effects to a clip or series of clips, but somewhere along the process, perhaps after applying misfire, or something else, Premiere freezes. I have tried different effects and it still causes, at unpredictable moments (when, for instance, cutting a clip that has a MB Look applied to it) to freeze. So I uninstalled it and am requesting a refund.
