Q: Plugin Effects not showing up in FCPX

Hi,

 

I recently bought a new computer.  I installed FCPX and copied my plugin effects to the movie folder (motion templates, etc.) the same way I had them working in my old computer, but the effects are not showing up in FCPX when I launch the Application.  I read somewhere that it might be a permission issue so I ran disk utility but it didn't make a difference.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Marc

    Unfortunately, I can't give a very useful answer because I was doing a lot of experimentation with a 10.11 partition I had just created  and just replaced the Motion Template folder with one from the main system drive. (I had already changed the extensions on those sub folders.)

    Check this.

    Ensure that within your Home directory /movies/Motion Templates  - right click on Motion Templates and get info, check that this folder is name "Motion Templates.localized - notice the .localized extension which is not visible to finder

    Unfortunately, my Motion templates subfolders already have the .localized extension and plugins still don't load.

    Also, keep in mind that not all plugins are stored in user/Movies/motions Templates but there are several other places plugins are also stored at like:

    library/plug-ins (both user & system library)

    library/application support/Fx Factory (if you have these type of plugins)

    Some plugins (core melt or neatvideo) store alias at the library but store more further files within your application folder too

    This is the only thing that worked for me... All the other information is everywhere...

     

    I really appreciate your help...

     

    Really really tired of situations like this APPLE. I understand you can't be expected to solve every question every consumer has... This is why you need to design movie software that is more user friendly by having an easier effects integration process.   (easier said than done... I know)
