Magic Bullet takes a year to render

[skippyfetus]

Has anyone else noticed that the Magic Bullet takes forever to render. I can usually duplicate a Magic Bullet effect with Vegas's other tools and render it four or five times as fast.

Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

it's more like an idea source than a usuable effect, isnt it.?

Yup, good to know there's a consensus...

It' a well known fact over on the Sony-Vegas forum. I rendered a 1.5 hour project a month ago with Magic Bullett looks and it took a week to render on my 1.5 ghz Athlon XP machine.

Yes it's astoundingly slow. Network rendering in Vegas helps somewhat; hooking my laptop up to the desktop cut the rendering time by about 35%, but still it's outrageously slow.

I wish someone would go through and create a Vegas template/preset for each of the Magic Bullet looks, so you could render them at Vegas speed (which would be like 10x faster).

Now, who would go and do something like that . . . ?

Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

I would if I had the time and the visual arts skills, I think it'd be a dynamite project to do. But I'm sure there are others out there who could do it better, and I'll buy the CD-ROM of the presets as soon as they do! ;D

Good thinking. I'll look into it. ;D

Yeah,
I used MB on a small project and had time to look for a contact Lens I lost in my yard 7 yrs ago and it still wasn't finished when I was done. Ya think it was me or the MB software? :-/

Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

All of 'em, my friend. All of 'em.

;D

Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

Yeah, Bistro is the best - but I'll take them all.

Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

Working on it. Made some progress. I'll report back later . . .

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this forum, and man I know what you mean I use most of the Magic Bullet Time effects for wedding videos I do. I would really like to get this CD or presets off of the person who makes them. Or even post them on this site.

Regards,
Daniel

As cool as some of the MB looks are, I find that I'd only use them for some sort of special effect and rarely would I use them for an entire project. Maybe it's just me...

Re: Magic Bullet takes a year to render

I'll buy it too.

Black pro mist for me and both the "war epic" looks or whatever they are called. Ultimately all of them though...
