FCPX old plug-ins don't work

MacBook Pro Sonoma 14.3.1

M1 Chip

FCPX 10.7.1


I'm trying to get rid of the old plug-ins but can't find them in the Motion folder (Effects, Titles, Generators etc)


Thanks.

That specific CoreMelt product is a plugin, not a template. Templates reside in those folders. A "plugin" technically is coded and installed at the OS level. It won't show up there. Contact Coremelt about this, they're friends and have good tech support. You probably just need to update your templates and plugins.

Problem solved! Jenn Jager on youtube has a short, informative tutorial that explains where to look for those pesky out-of-date "plugins". The path in the case of of the C2: HD>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Pro>Templets>Effects(Generators,Titles,Transitions)>select the effect you want and trash it. Restart FCPX and you're clean!


Thanks for your help!

This was placed there by the installer and it looks

It looks like you have a clutter of duplicate and unused plugins. Since this is a good opportunity, why not narrow it down to only the necessary plug-ins that you use on a regular basis?

Store plugins that you do not want to delete in a separate folder. Delete everything else →Please open the “Unresolved Folder” in one year and reconsider.


I think the first priority is to reduce the amount. If you don't reduce it, plugins will continue to go missing. You must know what files are in which hierarchy. Please let me know if you want to reduce it. Let's organize it together.
