Anyone want to take a look.

It was shot on a really crappy JVC Everio (to get a documentary look).

You could have probably just color corrected in your editing program to get that look -- it definitely would have taken less time!

Only if you know how to recreate the MBL setting in your NLE. Without knowing what MBL does it's hard to duplicate. That's why I might actually drop a large chunk of change on it.

It's all a price/prize equation. It's like with plumbers, if I knew how to do it I wouldn't have to hire one. Oh, wait. >Google>What MBL actually does...

Could very be the Card, MB utilizes the ram on the card and not the computer, I have 512 ram on my card. don't think its enough for alot of MB on a long clip. Ram cannot refresh unless you reboot or have one of those utilities which refreshes your ram, won't work on card. MB redgiant is helpful when you email or call. In my opinion 2 gigs is not even enough anymore in a computer, need 4, You could render into smaller clips in maybe an avi uncompressed, then put the clips together and render out the movie. it might work because MB should have resolved itself and now its just an avi clip. MB sucks power, I can't even use the stand alone for photos, its crashes my computer.

According to Magic Bullet manual if you are using a machine with good specs a complex render could take over 3x the project time. An extremely complex render (only need to have a few effects applied) can take much longer than that. That is why I prefer to use Looks in After Effects because it is easier to apply and look at and modify then do your final render upon output. In Premiere Pro I would have to render each clip to play back and see how she looks. Much more time consuming.

Vitascene from ProDad is another similar system that seems to render more quickly than MB.
