Premiere Pro CS6 – Window layouts & Magic Bullet Looks …
Hi All
I’ve been using Premiere Pro CS6 for my last few projects & have setup a dual screen layout in a way I like. However, when then applying Magic Bullet Looks, Looksbuilder stays hidden behind my windows. I know it’s not a Looks issue, as if I reset the windows to single monitor, standard built in defaults, Looks comes up fine. It seems it doesn’t like a modification of the default layouts. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, how do I get Looks to come to the front. I’ve tried all the hide/bring to front etc… stuff. Running Mac OS X 10.7.5.

That never happened to me before.
What about using Looks on After Effects? Has the same issue?.
It looks you are going to have to work on single monitor while color correcting your project.Axel Arzola

Hi Axel
No, AE works fine no matter what I do to the windows. Photolooks also works fine in Photoshop as well. It’s just Premiere. Yes, unless I can find a solution, I’m just going to have to single monitor it when using Looks.

Did you got the Java update for you OSX 10.7?
I know that there where some graphic issues with the OS and maybe that could be the problem.Axel Arzola

Hi Azel
Yes, it’s got all the latest updates and I do remember seeing a Java one go on, though it’s been happening for a while. I’ve seen a few posts around the net about customising window layouts and Premiere doing odd things afterwards.

Having the same exact issue here. Wondered if you have figured out a fix other than closing the tabs on the second monitor?

I also have this problem. Whether I have full screen activated, my program monitor stretched to fill my second monitor, or have my second monitor set as my full screen output from the preferences panel, looksbuilder will not show up ABOVE my video output there. It gets stuck behind it if I try to move it there and have to make nothing show on my second monitor in order for it to be usable there. This is annoying because my second monitor is my color correcting one. If I switch which monitor is my primary it doesn’t fix it either.

Wow, I just solved this!
Make sure you aren’t doing full screen output via the preferences panel.
Set up a workspace layout that just has your program monitor maximized on your second monitor.
You can toggle full screen with this layout by pressing control+` (that’s the tilde ~ key with no shift)
Make sure full screen is toggled off when you’re doing color correction. (still have maximized program monitor so almost just as good)
Open up looksbuilder from a clip you’re editing and go to Magic Bullet Looks -> Preferences.
Under External Video, choose the monitor you use for color.
Under Mode, choose the one that says full screen at the end of the
name.At the very bottom, check Update While.
Exit preferences and click on Magic Bullet Looks -> Use External Video
Now when you open looksbuilder, it can stay on your not-color correcting screen like it usually does, but your color monitor will update with whatever you’re doing in looksbuilder now.
BLAM! If anyone has trouble following what I said here, I can make a screen recording of how to do it if needed. Just let me know if you need.
