  • Adobe Media Encoder Freezes CS4 Magic Bullet Looks

    Posted by George Labb on September 18, 2010 at 1:38 am

    Hi.

    After over 12 hours of trying every fix possible to get Adobe Media Encoder to Encode my rendered Adobe Premier Project to which I have applied Magic Bullet looks. I still have had no luck. It applys, renders and plays back fine within Premiere Pro CS4, I only have the problem when I go to Media Encoder to export the file, it just completly stalls

    I am using Magic Bullet Looks 1.3 for Adobe CS4
    I have also tried the following with 1.2 Magic Bullet Looks

    -I have taken magic bullet looks from common plugin folder and placed it directly in the premiere specifc plugin file.

    -I have unistalled magic bullet looks and tried installing directly to the premiere specific plugin file.

    -I have tried placing magic bullet looks in both premiere specific and media encoder specific plugin files

    – I have tried all this in administrator account aswell.

    – I have tried the adobe premiere dynamiclink shorcut trick as well.

    The only succes I have had in getting adobe media encoder to work with out stalling on the file is when I completly remove Magic Bullet Looks.
    It is obvious Magic Bullet Looks is causing this problem, any possible fixies would be greatly appreciated.

    I am trying to convert the file a high qulaity NTSC DV h.264. I have also tried various other file types

    I have adobe media encoder CS4 version 4.2.00.6
    And Premiere CS4 4.2.1

    Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated!

    Cheers,
    George.

    Ive been thinking about the problems causing Adobe Media Encoder to stall when decoding Adobe Premiere projects with Magic Bullet Looks applied.

    I think it has something to do with the way in which Adobe Media Encoder reads the plug – in. Any ideas of where I can place it in order for AME to read the plug – in and be able to process the file, without stalling.

    As soon as I unistall Magic Bullet Looks, AME processes the Adobe Premiere Project perfectly.

    It sure would be nice to know the answer to this one. I have the same problem at the moment.

    I have this problem too. It worked once recently, to my surprise, and I’m trying to determine the problem.
