Migrating Magic Bullet Looks work from FCP 7.0 to After Effects
Hey,
I’ve worked on an edit on FCP 7 and graded the video using Magic Bullet Looks.
However I need to re-work on the look a bit but I’m not keen to continue on an offline setup since I’m using a lot of effects and titles in a 6 minute video which is really slowing down the process.
My project file is around 110mb and opening and shutting it everytime is driving me crazy (it takes about 15 minutes at least just to open the project even after deleting duplicate timelines).Since I’ve just warmed my hands up on the basics of AE, I now want to migrate my grading process.
I have Magic Bullet Looks and it does show up in the Effects panel in AE.My question is, if I migrate my timeline to AE (taking an .xml, importing in Premier and consequently moving to AE), will I be able to edit my existing grade that I previously created on FCP? Considering I only want to adjust few parameters in the grade and not work on it from scratch.
To clarify, this is specific to the grade in Magic Bullet Looks and not my titles, logos, etc. – I will recreate those in AE.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Sorry.
That’s AE CS5

So I tried to do it anyway and the problem actually arises at the FCP -> Premier Pro stage itself since the latter reads the former’s colors differently so the grade I see after migrating looks completely different.
I’ll have to continue on FCP or start afresh on AE.
I guess I was being a little too optimistic.
Will definitely research Automatic Duck though.
Thanks for the help 🙂
