Did 1.0.4 Kill Magic Bullet?
As I finish the project we’re on now looking forward to updating to 1.0.4 I read that it has broken MB, which would rule it out for us until it’s fixed.
Anyone know if this is true?

Answering my own question – Yes Jim, it is broken and not advised to update yet. Red GIant is aware of this and fixing asap.

It seems to be just the preview window which is inverted, everything else seems fine. It’s not ideal but it can still be used

Yeah it actually sounds like something that was fixed in 10.0.4 that MB was working around- now they just need to update and it will be all set. The MB plugins still renders fine- just the preview is mirrored. Other than that no biggie. More details here.

Interaction, when left unrendered in FCP X, also feels a lot more sluggish. This bug is apparently related to any plug-in using an external UI. So far that also includes Sapphire Edge, which is affected in the same way.

Yep- I’d expect an update will be forthcoming from GenArts as well.

It fixed the invert problem. Performance is extremely sluggish. Definitely has to be rendered. Seems worse than in 10.0.3 – or at least as I remember it. Same with Sapphire Edge.

Folks: would appreciate hearing from others who update to 10.0.4 AND update MB Looks. I’m still on 10.0.3. I’m working on a project where I definitely need MB Looks Cosmo plug so am not sure it’s safe to get back in the water yet.
Thanks.

I’ll be updating both on the weekend after I get this project out.
I’ve done a ton of MB works on this so it will be immediately apparent if there’s a performance hit from the fix/update combo.Ironic huh? Get X to perform better and lose performance of your plugs.
We’ll see.

IS it performing better? I haven’t noticed. No version of FCP X has performed any differently on my Mac Pro running 10.7.3. Ignoring plug-in performance, the general app performance has always been fine, though I find the UI itself is inherently slow, because of all the built-in UI animation.
