For some reason after i auto updated my CS6. Magic Bullet Looks no longer shows up under Video Effects. Like it dissappeared from Adobe Premiere Pro. I checked my programs and it shows Magic Bullet is still installed though.

I was having the same problem but I figured out a solution based on the comments I read here. This is different than the solutions said above but in case anyone is having the same problem, I've figured out a solution for my case.

So, I downloaded Magic Bullet Looks for After Effects CS6 and Vegas Pro. Magic Bullet worked perfectly fine for Vegas Pro but I realized that when I went into After Effects I could not located the "Looks" selection. What I did not know before was that both After Effects and Vegas Pro have different locations for the Magic Bullet Looks Plug-in.

After messing around with the Vegas LooksBuilder Folder, I came here and realized that all Adobe programs have their own folder locations, of course.

Anyway, I went to the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS6\MediaCore and found that my other previously installed programs were there such as Twixtor and Sapphire Plug-ins but not Magic Bullet Looks. So, out of curiosity I went through the other folders under Plug-ins. Under Plug-ins I found folders titled 7.0, CS5, CS5.5, and CS6. I went through all these folders and found out that Magic Bullet Looks was installed under the 7.0 folder.

I found that odd since I installed it for CS6. What I did was select all the Magic Bullet Looks files and moved them to the CS6 folder under MediaCore where Twixtor and Sapphire Plug-ins were installed.

After I moved then I laughed After Effects and the "Looks" selection was there.

How this helped. I spent hours trying to find a solution to this. The comments here helped so thanks everyone!

I know this post is quite old, but did you ever find a solution? I'm running into the exact same issue. All of my directory files are in the right place and I've done all the troubleshooting listed on Red Giant's site, but neither cs5 nor cs6 will recognize MBL, though misfire is recognized. Any thoughts?

Looks like Hitesh had the correct solution. Just remove any _x64 or _64 after the plugin name and it will work like a charm. Surprising that neither Adobe nor RedGiant has come up with a quick fix. I am running Windows 8 and all Adobe CC 2014 apps.
