Trying to grade with Magic Bullet Looks, keeps calling up the wrong clip

[Angelo Lorenzo]

Is the playhead also over the same clip? Most up to date version of Looks?

[Joe Stas]

I have the same problem. The most recent version of looks with the playhead in the right place.

I’m seeing the same thing most of the time – I’ve tried different playhead positions – start of clip – middle of clip etc, but there does not seem to be a pattern.
I’m on a MacPro – ATi card for displays – nVidia for rendering – PPro5.5.2 – Latest Looks

I used to be Jon Hiseman but I’m feeling better now.

Yeah same here, playhead position seems to make no difference, but seem to have found a workaround.

When you re-open Looks and it calls up the wrong clip, add a new filter – one that doesn’t do anything til you alter the parameters. Don’t do anything, don’t change anything, just click Finished and come out of Looks. Then inside your clip in Premiere Pro, click Edit Look again, and hey presto, it calls up the right clip, with the new filter you just added. If you don’t need it, delete it, and you’re good to go.

As I say, it’s a workaround rather than a solution, and someone at either Red Giant or Adobe needs to have a proper look.

Cheers!

Dylan,
thanks for your workaround, it really works. What i ‘ve found is that in my case the problem occurs when I try to use MBL on a clip that is rendered. If you delete work area render files it works agains.

What might be interesting, when I open new project with rendered clip and use MBL editor I got picture from even previously opened project. It seems that MBL can’t take a picture from rendered clip.

I’m sorry for my double post.
