I'm having the same problem. I've contacted Red Giant and they know about the issue. But so far there is no fix. I was thinking of going back to 10.0.5, but I'm not sure if my projects will work as they have all been updated to work with 10.0.6. Anyone know if that will work?

Do you have a copy if 10.0.5? In your events and projects folders there should folders called Old Versions that will open in the previous version.

I am having the same issue but only after the clip(s) or project is rendered. I am getting the same flashes but mine are more cyan/magenta and only one frame each time. I have also written Red Giant and submitted a ticket. I'm sure over time they will solve this issue but it seems to be a rendering issue with Looks. No other looks plug in has this issue.

I am still unable to use Magic Bullet Looks and see no update from Red Giant regarding when we can see a resolution to this issue- has anyone else heard an update?

Yes, I had a reply to my Support Ticket I entered:

Red Giant replied as follows:

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you- we are a little behind in support due to server issues and the recent holiday. While we are working with Apple for a resolution to this issue, as it stems from significant changes made by Apple in the latest PCP update- 10.0.06. Unfortunately, it is not yet known when an update will be released to fix this issue, however we are currently working with Apple to resolve this as the update needs to come from them. Once it is available, it will be released as an update through the Apple store.

Some testing has shown that re-rendering occasionally skips the inverted frame, though this is not consistant. If it is possible to roll back to 10.0.5, that would be the best work-around currently. We are as anxious as you to get this render issue sorted, but are also subject to Apple's timeline.

Thank you for your patience in this matter.

I'm in the same boat. In fact I am working on a project and had to delete all the Bullet Looks and use other grading plugins but non work as good as Magic Bullet Looks.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing that. Fingers crossed it will be fixed sooner rather than later 😢

Well 10.0.7 is out and indicated bug fixes but it is apparent that Magic Bullet Looks is not in those bug fixes. I did some testng today and I'm still getting the extra weird frames inseted. Hopefully in the next update this wll be fixed.

Sky....

I have been wrestling with this same issue – however, it has nothing to do with Magic Bullet Looks specifically. I do not own MBL, but I often have the one frame color flashes (green and magenta). Occassionally the affected frame will also be turned upside down. It usually occurs on timeline clips to which I've applied Nattress Levels and Curves or Irudis Tonalizer/VFX Pro. Usually I can fix it by deleting and then reapplying the effects. Usually. But just yesterday I had a pink flash while previewing a clip in the event browser - no effects applied at all! I hope Apple is on this because it's making my life miserable. (When I upgraded to 10.0.6, I was ignorant of the "best practice" advice that they give: Save your current version of FCPX in addition to your media backups so you can fall back when this happens.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5550)

I am also getting this in FCPX 10.0.7 (as well as previously 10.0.6). This is happening with both MBL and Lock and Load X.

Fix for green frames.

I too have Sporadic corrupted frames with each render attempt. Inverted green frames in my case when rendering effects like NeatVideo's Noise, or Ripple Training's RT Color Balance.

By removing the file " AlphaBlendMode.plugin " from the Quartz Composer Patches folder located at the root level of my hard drive ( Drive/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches ), I no longer have this problem.

I'm not sure which program originally installed this plug-in but the get info is:

AlphaBlendMode.plugin was not found found on my Mountain Lion system and the folder is in the HD/Sysytem/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches

Yup, so...

hear we are, waiting for an update.

ARGH!

Same for me. I did not find the plug-in as well. What I was doing was finding the added frame and creating a break. That eliminated the frame. Lot of messing around; however. I also found some Magic Bullit effects didn't cause the problems I had no problems, for example, with Black and While. I am using other effects like Magic Bullit but will still be glad when this issue is resolved.
