The following instructions are for installing Magic Bullet Editors v2.1.1 for Final Cut Pro 5.1.4-6.0. This is especially important if you have recently upgraded to Final Cut Pro 5.1.4-6.0 or if you are seeing the error messages pictured below.

 

Magic Bullet Editors v1.0, v2.0, or v2.1 are not compatible with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4-6.0 on Intel-based Macs. The cause of these error messages is typical of either having an incompatible version installed or opening a project that references these versions of Magic Bullet Editors. All of these versions must be removed before using Magic Bullet Editors v2.1.1.
