Issue with Magic Bullet and Premiere CS4

I'm currently doing colour correction on a short using Magic Bullet Looks. I've pretty much completed everything, however I'm getting a problem in certain scenes, usually longer ones, where after awhile the effect will either get brighter or gain in contrast and stay that way for the rest of the video. It's really distracting because obviously its very noticeable and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Any thoughts? Thanks guys!
 
I have never been aware that there is any Key Frame function in Looks 1 or 2.

I cant even scroll the frame to view the entire scene.

I must take look at it again.
 
Looks itself does not have keyframes but you can keyframe Looks and the Power Mask in the ECW.
 
Yes, technically you can add keyframes outside of Looks Builder, but doing so changes nothing. There are no editable parameters for those keyframes.

The Mask is a separate element, not mentioned by Jamie.
 
You can set a mood per keyframe.
So if you have 3 keyframes on a clip you can set 3 moods for that clip.

Okay here is the thing.
If you look at you effect settings, Looks has this little stopwatch, you can click for keyframing right?

What you do is, open up looks, dial in what you want, close looks and click that little stopwatch.
Than you move your playhead to an other position, open up looks, make some changes, close looks and click that stopwatch again.
There you have it.

Kind of clunky way to work keyframing and I hardly think it can be done accidentally as in regards to the OPs situation.
