How do I install Twixtor to Final Cut Pro 6.0.6?

I feel like I have tried every possible way of installing...I let the installer do the work, I've dragged the folder to multiple plugin locations for FCP, including library/plugins/fxplug and in application support/final cut pro system support/plugins, in the final cut pro package contents/plugins and NOTHING has worked at all. It has not shown up once in the FCP video filters tab or effects list, and I have restarted FCP everytime I have moved the folder. I have an older imac that is intel based, is it my computer? I have tried multiple support sites, even the Twixtor website and everything but it all seems cluttered, maybe I have overlooked something. Any new answers/things to try is appreciated :/

Final Cut Pro 6, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Thanks for responding. Ive tried that three times and still nothing... During the install process did you check the "other application or pre-CS3" box? Im not allowed to check the other boxes, and It says it will just put it at the top level of your hard drive, so it's not really "installing" like it should, and thats where Ive had to drag it around to every plugins folder.

Are we talking about the trial version or the full version here, I have the trial version.

I didn't get any "other application or pre-CS3" box. I just double clicked on the installer ,agreed to the licence and then checked the "install demo" box. It then tells you that twixtor is installed on your macintosh HD. There is now a folder "Twixtor5fxplug" on my Macintosh HD root level,(which is where it's supposed to be) and it is also in FCP under Video effects/revision plug ins.

But as I said, it didn't work the first time, but after trashing the folder I re installed and it worked.

By the way you'll need to restart FCP after you install.

Yeah, so when I got it originally my friend had the demo on his hardrive and I just copied it from him. Unfortunately he did something weird to it, or it downloaded wrong where the final cut and After effects files seemed to be both mixed in, and thats why the installer was greying things out and the "other applications" box wasn't working right. I then re downloaded the demo on their site, but the same thing happened for some reason. Im sorry to say that I think it was just luck that it worked eventually, I just downloaded it a third time and the installer did what it was supposed to. What I meant by support files was the final cut aspect of it, deleting whatever adobe parts I got originally. Just FYI then, if you want to tell it to install at the top of your hardrive, or just on the desktop, the correct folder to drag the folder titled Twixtor5fxPlug into is Library--- Plug-ins ----FxPlug and the twixtor folder should contain Twixtor5.fxplug and the Twixtor5FxPlugManual folder. Now David said above he copied it to library--application support--final cut pro system support--plug ins, and maybe that works to, but the way I described is how twixtor installed it when it worked eventually, and it showed up in the video effects tab under its own name. In the end, just try re downloading and re installing and restarting final cut, being sure to delete whatever twixtor files are there if it doesn't work, because I think it just comes down to the computer deciding to work, since fcp 6 really is unfortunately outdated at this point when it comes to HD footage and support for these kind of additions. Good luck and if you have more issues with it im happy to troubleshoot back.
