bad result with Magic Bullet Looks 2 after rendering in FCP
I’m new here and I’m having a problem with Magic Bullet Looks 2 in Final Cut Pro 7.
I converted the clips previously from H264 from my 7D to ProRes 422 (LT).
I can grade the whole footage perfectly and the preview looks great but when I render it the result is very bad!This image is a screenshot if I klick into the time line before rendering it:
and this image is a screenshot after I rendered it:
First I also used a LUT buddy to add the cinestyle curve on the flat image.
But now I removed this LUT buddy and I’ve still the same problem.Has someone any similar problems or ideas for a solution?

Just a shot in the dark but aye it’s because you used LT? LT is for offline workflows where you’ll online the better quality footage later. Try Prores 422 and it might turn out better. Other than that, it looks kinda like there’re interlacing issues going on here.

Beside Tony’s LT consideration, set the canvas at 100%, and get rid of athat “Excess Luma” overlay to judge the picture.
Another question.
Was the picture Broadcast Safe before applying BMLook?
If not, do it.
BMLooks should be applied after a primary CC.

Thank you…
I got the solution.
You’ve to downgrade to Looks 1.4 and everything works perfectly.
It’s a bug of Looks 2 which is only with FCP. No problem with AE… -
Well, that’s interesting, because I’ve got MB2 on my eit suite and it works just fine.

I am having this exact same problem right now. Everything looks correct… until I render the sequence and then almost every clip is lighter. If I turn off the Look and turn it back on it looks correct again.
Rinse and repeat…

I just realized the footage that is doing it is from a Canon C300. The 5DMKIII footage in the timeline doesn’t shift.
The C300 and MKIII footage are both ProRes422. I’m not sure why one would shift and not the other.
