A faster version of Magic Bullet is out, and it's suppose to be 3.8x faster then the current version. But the update, as far as I read, is only for P4 systems.

280% faster, so they say.. shesshh, this just tells you how unefficient the algorithm was in the first version.

Most software algorithms are... I mean, what really does work
faster on 2 GHZ PC compared to a 400 mhz celeron system?
Only the highly optimized graphics rendering engines mostly.

Optimizing engines & algorithms is a real hard thing to do. It
takes practice, a lot of time and knowledge....

I went to my friend's studio and they were rendering a corperate video (2min) in Magic Bullet, and even on their dual 2.4Ghz Xeon system with 2Gb of ram it was painfully slow.

It's a free update, but 1.5 hasn't been released yet, it's still in beta. It's optimized for p4, but runs fine on AMD too, haven't done comparitive speed tests yet :-)

I can't wait to see the performance on a dual 2Ghz G5....

Yes...i'd like to see that, then hopefully, it would finally shut apple's yap.

Is there also a version coming for After Effects 6.0 (pro) since that's available now...

Magic Bullet Suite 1.1 doesn't run well on AE 6.0.

Magic Bullet Suite 1.5 will fix this and is currently in beta.
