    Ian, run the installer file for it and that’s it.
    What I suspect might be confusing for you is what do with it once you’re inside Vegas.
    Place an event on your timeline, switch to the VideoFX tab, grab and drop the default Magic Bullet Looks icon on your event (there’s only one in there) and then click the Edit button to being up the Magic Bullet Looks program where you do all your “magic”.
    Take a look at Episode 61: Working with Looks Presets in Magic Bullet Looks 2 for an excellent getting started tutorial.

    okey dokey – i must be a moron or worse – HA! so I down loaded the windows version – but, the file i down loaded is simply a file, a lot of files, but there doesn’t seem to be an “install” file. i extracted the files – but obviously it wont pop up in Vegas

    what the heck am i doing wrong.

    thanks for the help

    The file I downloaded from https://www.redgiantsoftware.com/product-downloads/ is called MBSuite_Win_Full.zip
    It’s the very first one at the top of the page and is listed under Magic Bullet Suite (Mac & Windows versions).
    Extracting the zipped folder gives you 32 and 64 bit versions of the software as well as a folder of User Guides and extras.
    Since it’s the full version that you download, a large number of programs will come up in the installation guide.
    Be sure to choose only Magic Bullet Looks 2 as that’s the only one you’ll have a serial number for.
    Anything else will install as a demo.

    I’m trying to resurrect an older Vegas project that used Magic Bullet Editors for Vegas 5.0. They still open under any Vegas 32bit install.

    My question is, if I install a newer version of Magic Bullet Movie Looks, does that automatically replace the MB Editors plugin? Meaning, is there a way around me not having to completely redo, from scratch, my color settings with MB Movie Looks? I ask because I’m trying to use Vegas11 on a 64bit machine, which doesn’t seem to see the 32bit install of MB Editors under the Program Files (x86) folder. Therefore, the plugins aren’t seen when I open Vegas.

    I have a 9 minute short film, a hundred clips, each with separate MB Editors filters applied…

    Sorry, in my post i asked if there’s a way around me having to replace all my Magic Bullet Movie Looks plugins. I meant all my MB Editors plugins.
