    Good morning everyone. I have a question that is probably going to raise eyebrows but I’m posting it anyway. This week I have made a neat little setup of an old Mac Pro Late 2013 with OS Mavericks and FCP7 installed. Being for almost 40 years in the editing business, this gives me the opportunity to view and recut my old FCP7 (and FCP5) project.. At my age, people are getting a bit nostalgic… The thing is that many of my projects were colorgraded with Magic Bullet Looks and Quick Looks 1.4. Since I lost the installers I contacted Maxon support because I was sure they would have kept the installers of their own software somewhere. Alas, they didn’t. Is there anyone out there that still has a legacy installer for Magic Bullet Looks (or Looks Suite) or Quick Looks 1.4 ? I would be very happy. Thank you, Werner

    Dear all, to my big big surprise I could solve this issue myself. I got my box of old hard disks from the attic and discovered the original Mac HD on which I had installed Magic Bullet some 13 years ago. There was a folder with all necessary assets for the installation. I copied it onto my ‘new’ vintage setup, launched the installer and BANG! There it was, Looksbuilder inside FCP7, working smoothly. The only thing I still needed to do was adding the serial number. I looked into my Red Giant account and took the last serial number I had from Magic Bullet Looks. This unlocked Looksbuilder for me! A bit to my surprise as it was the serial of an upgrade. I must say I’m really surprised that I was able to make Looksbuilder work again. If anyone ever needs the installer please contact me on wernergrolus@live.com
    I will be happy to hand it over to you, as I know it’s quite difficult to install it again if you lost it. You will need a serial number though… Cheers, Werner
