Plugin : Failed to render

....so much for beta period. I don't see the value in it if developers don't take advantage of it to work out kinks. I mean, all of the plugins don't work in FCPX currently.

At the very least, there should be a prominent message on the front page of the website. If you go into the FAQ, it doesn't say anything about the issue either.

Has anyone find a solution for this? I'm running into the same issue and the people at Pixel Film Studios don't answer my phone calls or e-mails. I have a lot of projects with the Luts loaded and, since now it "won't render", I can't work in any of those timelines. help!

I've been emailing and getting back responses fairly quickly up until about 2 days ago. Now Pixel Film Studios customer support stopped updating and responding to my emails asking for updates. It's irritating. I had just purchased Colorist as well and it doesn't work. I asked about getting a refund or at the very least, being able to re-purchase at the discounted rate (Autumn sale started the day after I purchased) and crickets.

I recommended they put a notice up on their website that plugins are not working with Sierra....more crickets and no notice on the website. I am still getting their 'new plugin' emails so good to know marketing department is up and running well.

I just got a refund from Pixel Film Studios for Colorist. I sense it will be a while before the patch is available. I'm going to check if Color Grading Central's Color Finale and Lut Utility work with Sierra and switch over to it.

That's right, it seems only Pixel Film Studio plugins aren't working. Guess they didn't take advantage of the beta period to test their software. Currently using Color Finale and it's working flawlessly.

Thanks for that bit of feedback BenB. My only experience with PFS had been the Lut Loader. I was tempted to try some of the other plugins but never got around to it until pulling the trigger on Colorist (which I didn't get to use).

Do you have any experience with Color Grading Central stuff, more specifically Color Finale?

Thanks

I was in the middle of a big editing project and I upgraded to Sierra (simply to get Siri) on my laptop. (Which does not work either) Anyways, I got all the "failed to Render" notices on all of my clips. After reading all the posts here I decided to contact Pixel via email and got a response back in about an hour. They said there is a way for it Lud Loader to work with Sierra so I tried it and it DOES WORK.... for NEW edits. It does NOT seem to work backwards with previous edits.

So I will still need to RE-Color Correct my work, ugg. Here is their email back to me and the instructions if you still wanted to use the program for future projects....

We are sending you new download links created for Sierra LUT LOADER users. They now include three installers. The first installer should run with no issues. The second installer will not work for Sierra users at this time so you will have to install it manually. Access the plugin folder inside the download package titled Motion Templates inside should be a folder titled Effects. Open up the Effects folder, highlight the Pixel Film Studios - FCPX LUT LOADER folder inside and hit Command-C to copy. Now open up a separate finder window and navigate to your Movies folder. Inside Movies there will be a folder called Motion Templates and inside Motion Templates a folder called Effects. Paste the Pixel Film Studios - FCPX LUT LOADER folder inside Effects. Now, simply run the third installer and restart Final Cut.

Unfortunately, if the updated download does not refresh your failed to render luts when you reinstall then I don't think there's another way around re-editing. We wish this wasn't the case. The Sierra update has caused quite a large amount of issues for developers.

Who makes this? You should contact the developer. If heard of problems with LUT Loader and Sierra, but I don't know what's happening about a resolution.

Yeah. See if you can get some support from them.

i sent them email yesterday and they told me that they are working on a patch that will be re soon

I Received this email two days ago.. I guess we ne to wait

WWhichever other plugins aren't working? FxFactory plugs seem to work. CoreMelt plugs work. Color Finale's working.
