Magic Bullet Looks Crashing in Premiere

Does anyone use Magic Bullet Looks in Premiere?
I started using it for my YouTube videos and its way better then lumetri colors.

BUT, it keeps crashing on me.

When I open it, the screen is black. When i click on an adjustment it reappears but dissapears again. The images also goes black on the timeline.
I keep having to close Premiere and reopen it. Other times nothing happens and its just black.

It was fine at first, but now I can't even grade a single clip without something happening.

My computer is fast and should NOT have any issues handling this

Two possible issues: One, it's a Red Giant product. Two, you're using Adobe. RG products are typically resource heavy, and Adobe is.. well, Adobe. Not the most stable platform.
 
Anything I can do to try to improve it?
Editing in Premiere works perfectly fine even in 4K. But as soon as I apply the looks it just starts to crash
 
1. Do you have a bootable backup image of your system drive?
2. Are your OS, Adobe, and Magic Bullets versions up to date?

If the answer to #1 is yes, then I would first look into experimenting with updates to see if there are compaitibility issues at play. I would not start down that road without having a backup, however. You can easily destabilize other aspects of your system by updating things. But, as long as you can revert, then it's worth exploring.
