Magic Bullet crashes Intel MacBook, iMac, Mini

[pmgmedia]

Just a warning: The latest version of Red Giant Magic Bullet for Editors is still not compatible with many of the new Intel Macs. According to their support site, the GMA 950 video cards in Mac Mini, MacBook and iMac (17inch) cause Final Cut to crash during startup. So don't plan on Magic Bullet for new projects you will edit on one of those, and definitely don't try to load an old project with MB effects in it.

I found out the hard way after trying to load MB on a Final Cut project in my new MacBook.

I assume it will get a patch sometime..but a post by MB tech support suggested that their attempts at a fix have 'destabilized' the MB software, so it may take a while. Bummer.

Keep in mind too, Final Cut Pro isnt designed to run on the GMA 950 video card, so that might be part of the problem too. If you look at the tech specs for the Final Cut Studio, it specifically says it will not run with the GMA 950.
