And my 3rd party plugins just disapear........

Hi
Having a bit of a problem.....
I've installed the panasonic varicam plug in and when I fire up FCP my other plug ins disapear?!?!?!
There they are in the plug ins folder but not in the menu in FCP.
Any ideas?

I retitled my thirdparty plugin folder to make it prior to the varicam plugin and they both seem to work. so perhaps a more effecient fix is to retitle the varicam plugin with a "z" in front so it lists last.?!
good luck

Cineform and other 3rd party plugins for Creative Cloud, what happened to them?

Hi I don't want to panic but I just downloaded Adobe Premiere CC and it's telling me that I've rendered my previous project with a 3rd party plugin that isn't available. What is the process of installing my 3rd party plugins to premiere so I can edit with Blackmagic codecs, Cineform, and multiple others I have enjoyed using in CS6.

I followed the instructions from the Cineform site as given by scarolan_CS4 (thanks for that).
http://support.cineform.com/entries/24336007-A-Do-It-Yourself-Guide-to -adding-CineForm-support-in-Adobe-CC-Windows-
Works like a charm.
The only issues I have are:
Cineform plugs (except for levels) don't work. But they didn't work on CS5.5 and CS6 either - plus cá change.
I'm getting the 'saving metadata' when closing PP error back - I'd forgotten how I'd dealt with that, switched something off in prefs, if I remember (more internet searching!) This wasn't happening before I copied the Cineform directories to their CC locations, so I suspect it's related in some way.
The editing presets and the rendering presets all work fine.
======================================
I've also had good luck with other 3rd party plugins. I created a junction type link from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS6\MediaCore to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore. The default mediacore directory is empty so this works, but I copied across 3rd party directories and files in the individual plugin folders for PP and AE as there are default Adobe files in there which may be different from CS6 to CC.
Note that I also created a junction from Photoshop 64 plugins for CS6 to CC and this also works a treat.
Just thought I'd mention it to show that it can work, I'm chuffed that it does as I was anticipating a system OS install to enable plugins to work and to keep 15-20% of my system SSD free.
If this junction stuff is too complicated (and you don't mind having two sets of the same files or deleting the older versions) just copy the plugin and relevant settings files instead. I assume this will work, although I haven't specifically tested it myself.
You can find free utilities to create junction links for Windows or this can be done via the command line. I forget the name of the utility I use, it works via the context menu. I have found that junction tends to work better than symbolic linking or other types of file 'aliasing' for most of my fumbling about with this solution.
This stuff sounds more complicated than it is, once someone has given the steps to take and you have installed the junction/symbolic linking utility it's just a matter of following the steps.
EDIT - I (re-)found the solution to the
Metadata. Metadata writing in progress (n files pending)
error -
Go to Edit>Preferences>Media and uncheck Write XMP ID to Files on Import (thanks to Jim Simon on this forum for this).

How do you install and delete 3rd party plugins from Logic 9?

I have been trying to install RX2 from iZotope with no success. I can authorize it in the standalone version but not in logic. I had a previous demo version of it installed and everytime I went to authorize it would point to the earlier version and not authorize and run in demo. I removed a number of files pertaining to it from HD & User/ Library/ Preferences and Audio/ Components and tried reinstalling. Now it doesn't even show up in the plugin list. Can anyone tell me how to clear this up? Also, how to deal with 3rd party plugins. What can I say, no problems with Reaper! Appreciate any help with this. Thanks

The Isotope website isn't very clear about it.. It seems to indicate the Windows version is 32 and 64 bit where as the AU version is 32bit and will work/is compatible with Logic 64bit.. which it will as it will run under the 32 to 64bit bridge... when Logic is run in 64bit mode..but as i said, it's hard to tell one way or the other.
The thing is, if you simply reinstall it.. and then run Logic first in 32bit mode and then in 64bit mode.. it should show up.
Where are you looking for it in Logic?
Does it show up in the AU Plugin Manager? (after, that is you have reinstalled it)

Leopard, ps cs3 and 3rd party plugins

help again please.
I have PS CS3 and numerous 3rd party plugins but as soon as I installed the new OS 10.5 I get the msg. one or more plugins are currently unavailable on your system. They worked before the upgrade of os10.5. I even upgraded to 10.5.1..The plugins I can't get are Nik color efex pro complete and Nik sharpener pro complete. The Nik website states they are compatible. Other 3rd party plugins like Fluid Mask 3, Genuine Fractals and Flaming Pear all work. Help if you can please. I already have a msg. to Nik software for help but have not gotten an answer from them..
Thank you.
sincerely
karen

To use your Nik Software products on a new Intel-based Mac Computer with Photoshop CS3, simply follow these three easy steps below:
1. Quit / Exit out of Adobe Photoshop CS3 and navigate to the Adobe Photoshop CS3 application file which is typically at the following location: Macintosh HD | Applications | Adobe Photoshop CS3
2. Highlight the Adobe Photoshop CS3 application file icon and press Command + I (+ I) to open File Info.
3. On the File Info window (as shown on the right), check the box next to "Open using Rosetta", then close the window.
That’s all there is to it. Photoshop and Nik Software filters will work without a problem.

CS4 and 3rd party plugins - icons disappear

I'm having problems with CS4 on Vista 64bit with 3rd party plugins. I'm aware that 64bit issues exist but even on the 32bit CS4 Photoshop's toolbar icons disappear once Nik, OnOne etc are installed. I've left CS2 installed as well on the same system and this works fine.
This could be a problem with for the 3rd party developers of course but obviously CS4 has changed something.
I have Vista 64bit with 8gb RAM. Disabling the GPU functions doesn't help nor does running CS4 in XP compatibility mode. Removing the plug ins is the only way to resolve the problem.
Just wondering if anyone else has hit this problem and even better found a solution to it.

I think I can recall the behavior being confirmed for Nik and they are working on a fix/ update. The situation may be the same for other tools/ vendors, so you'll probably have to live with it for a moment or resort to using older versions of PS...

Will Lion work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?

Will Lion OS work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?
Any help would be much appreciated,
Regards James

Well, Sylenth I know... works under Logic Pro 9 and it should be found by left clicking and holding... the Software Insturment Button (The one just below where it says i/o and then scrolling down in the menu that appears to the Instrument section below the Apple Plugins...
I don't know about Massive 1.01 because i think that one is not Logic 9 compatible because it is so old.... and I have never used Vanguard... but according to it's specs the latest version should be found in the same place as Sylenth...
Both Sylenth and Vanguard are 32bit plugins...
...and.. it probably doesn't help that you are using older/not 'legal' copies of these plugins.... *ahem*

3rd party plugins not working after archive and install

hi,
i have a few 3rd party plugins in my logic pro, such as all the native instruments, waves diamond, ik multimedia plugins, atmosphere and a few more,
i was getting an error on my g5 when i tried to run diskwarrior from the disk. it was the kernal panic message, it said i had to restart my mac, therefore i couldnt run diskwarrior from disk.
i did a bit of research and a few people suggested doing a archive install, so i did.
well what do you know, i had to re-install logic 8 again. other programmes such as transcribe, itunes idvd imovie etc were ok.
but logic didnt load up, o i had to re-install logic again,
also before i did that i checked to see if my 3rd party plugin were working in standalone, so i check all the native instruments and they seemed to work ok, T-racks deluxe works fine, so i thought they should all load up in logic.
once logic was installed again and had to get all the updates all my 3rd party plugins did not show up on my AU validation.
is there a way to get logic to see my 3rd party plugins or do i have to re-install all of them again.
cheers for the help
lib

Then check if the NI AU components are actually where they should be:
HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
If not copy them over from your "previous systems" folder which was created on your HD during the archive and install process.

3rd party plugins and Lion?

Does anyone know if there are still 3rd party plugins that are not working with Logic 9 and Lion?
Thanks,
Cobb

I don't think there is a comprehensive list anywhere of compatible plugins.
You can however begin looking here:
http://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/ts/detail.php?Index=33622
and

Best to check the manufacturers' websites for your important plugins, if they don't feature on these lists.

FInal Cut X and 3rd Party Plugins from Previous Versions

will they be compatible?
i've got plenty of 3rd party plugins i've normally used with fcp 6.
will i be able to use them with fcp x ? or is it a completely new platform?
cheers.

I've said it elsewhere, but using FCX is like being asked to carve a roast and being handed knife purposely dulled to keep me from hurting myself.
However, while it is not a viable tool for the broadcast professional, I am sure there are many professionals who can use it to do their job.
To the OP, FCP 6 plugins, will work in FCP 7.
BenB wrote:
...snip...
As for plugins, FCP X uses a whole new underlying framework, totally, radically different technologies under the hood than legacy FCP 7 versions. So those plugin developers will have to port their wares over to the new platform.
...snip...
This is in fact, largely untrue. FCX effects are Motion wrappers, often interfaces directly to FxPlug plugins that have been around since Motion started. The FxPlug plugins developed for earlier versions of the software need to be rebuilt with the new frameworks and Motion wrappers constructed, but FxPlug 2 is not radically different technology from FxPlug 1.2.5.

Photoshop CC 2014 and 3rd party plugins

When I installed Photoshop CC2014 my 3rd party plugins didn't port over. Do I have to reinstall them?

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.
Petermclennan considering Photoshop CC 2014 is a new version of Photoshop you will need to reinstall your third-party plug ins.

Possible to control 3rd party plugin/palette?

Is it possible to write something (JavaScript/COM programming/plugin) that has access to a 3rd party plugin/palette? I'm talking about XMPie uDirect. XMPie doesn't offer an official API for the plugin but I want to invoke a special action automatically that can be accessed only by the plugin's InDesign palette. I want some kind of automation.

This won't work, sorry. The palette cannot be controlled through the menus... except showing/hiding it.
I got the same idea with system events. It would be great to have a program that sniffs system events and gives information when I press a special button in the InDesign palette. The 3rd party plugin should be a kind of library like DLL that exports functions. Does anybody know a program that can monitor InDesign.exe with all its sub-processes, DLL handles and called DLL functions?
[Edit:] I tried a DLL viewer which can open and show XMPie's plugin files XMPBackEnd5.apln and XMPFrontEnd5.apln (APLN = InDesign PlugIn). They seem to be normal DLL files. If anybody knows the secrets of "decrypting" DLLs it would be nice to know if this can help me. I need to invoke the plugin's commands for XMPie's "Dynamic Print" (new dialog opens) and then just confirm with "OK" to start the export.

Sort 3rd party plugins by categories

Hi there,
If this has already been asked, my apologies, I haven't found an answer to it using the search engine.
Is there a way to sort 3rd party plugins by categories, like Logic's built-in plugs (Compressors, EQs, Delays, Reverbs, etc...)?
It would be much better to search the plugins by category than by manufacturer name, don't you think?
Again, sorry if this is an old question.
And thanks in advance.

The problem with organising your plugins into channel strips is that it works fine to load the complete channel strip, but obviously cannot be used to load individual plugins on a channel.
I would like to be able to organise/customise my plugin menu in the way that best suits me, including not having to scroll all the way down to the third-party list and so on - I agree that this way of loading plugins is pretty inefficient.
Unfortunately, while this is technically easier using a Mackie Control (because you can scroll through the plugins with a knob before clicking it to load that selected plugin) - it's also next to useless because the plugin list is seemingly random, meaning that each time you scroll to a new plugin, you have no idea whether this is going to be the one you want, or whether it will take another 53 knob turns before you get there.
The library is supposed to be the redeveloped solution for this, and while it helps to a degree I actually don't like wasting a quarter of the available screen space having it open, or hitting a key command to open and close it just to load plugins. But you can't load individual plugins from the library anyway - it's either channel strips, or plugin settings/instruments. There is no way to highlight the plugin slot and then see your plugin list - so we are back to the navigate through four sub menus dance to load a plugin.
So none of the current methods are particularly good, imo. I'd like to see something better. At the very list, a menu list of "Favourite Plugins" at the top of the menu list which you could organise and choose which plugins should go in there.

3rd Party Plugins Have Disappeared After OS X Mavericks Update

Hi. I'm have a bit of a panic here.
I'm a sound engineer and I use Mainstage 2 frequently to run all FX live for a variety of artists.
After reading forums with regards to the Mavericks update, I found no evidence of it causing issues with Mainstage of Logic.
HOWEVER, I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks yesterday and Mainstage has decided to throw a massive wobbly. When I load up my show, it says "The plug-in named 'XXXXX' is not available on your sysem." It's done this for every single 3rd-party plugin on my machine so I basically have nothing! Good one Apple!
I restored my machine to a backup I took just before the OS upgrade. Guess what.......it's even doing it there now! It's back on Snow Leopard. I've been into the folders and all the plugins are there. For some reason, Mainstage isn't finding them. I'm at a total loss and about to throw this thing out the window.
Can anybody save me???
Thanks.
Jonny

Verified and repaired disk permissions but still no luck.
I thought Time Machine was meant to put the computer back to its exact state at the time of back-up?!
Anybody know if there's a UK phone number for an expert on Logic/Mainstage?!
Thanks.

3rd Party Plugins

I have been enjoying some of Logics plugins and would like to partake of other plugins out there that people rave about. I don't have an indepth understanding of how the plugins interface with Logic. Can I just buy say a Waves bundle and load the software into logic and start using the plugins? Do I need to buy a special card that will allow me to use the plugins.
Do 3rd party plugins create any difficult latency problems. I understand that adding any plugin will cause latency, but as long as Logic can be adjusted to compensate for it that doesn't bother me.

Can I just buy say a Waves bundle and load the software into logic and start using the plugins?
Yep. Logic will automatically see any third-party AU plugins installed on your computer.
Do I need to buy a special card that will allow me to use the plugins.
In general, no - "Native" plugins run on the computer. There are some types of plugins that run on hardware cards, such as UAD-1 plugins or Powercore plugins, but the vast majority of plugins are native.
Do 3rd party plugins create any difficult latency problems.
No, they work exactly the same as Logic's internal plugins.
I understand that adding any plugin will cause latency,
No, Logic will compensate for latency when it can except when you are monitoring in realtime, because this is impossible. The same is true for Logic plugins that require some buffer overhead to work.
but as long as Logic can be adjusted to compensate for it that doesn't bother me.
Yep, there is no practical difference between using internal Logic plugins and external third-party ones.

And my 3rd party plugins just disapear........
