Can't find 3rd party plugins in Garageband???

I've downloaded several plugins via MacMusic. I've followed the instructions and dragged the plugins into Library-Audio-Plugins-Components. Then I start Garageband, but the plugins are no where to be found (did check in AU effects pull-down menu). How do I get them into Garageband?

And it doesn't let you use an arbitrary 3 (6) AUs, only 3 of its own effects.
_<b>I_ still want to use multiple effects of my choice... and this is a doable project ... unfortunately above my skill level as a programmer B-(>
But still, as my friend Christoph points out, there is an AU that will let you use 3 effects, per slot, at a time, search for "LFX-1310". I believe it is still PPC only, but I haven't checked recently to see if there is an update.

How can i get 3rd party plugins for logic such as massive or nexus?

how can i get 3rd party plugins for logic such as massive or nexus?

Buy the 64bit AU versions from their respective online stores...
Massive can be found at;

Nexus 2 (as Nexus 1 will not work with Logic Pro X) from;

However, I suspect, based on the fact you could have simply searched on Google.. that buying them wasn't what you had in mind.................

3rd Party Plugins for Flash CS4

Are there any resources to find 3rd party plugins for Flash CS4? I've used plugins in older versions of Flash, but I'm new to CS4. I'm wanting to a lot of cool things with a site including photo carousels, image transitions, visual effects, etc., but I'm not sure where to get started. Perhaps I shouldn't even be looking at plugins? Maybe I am really looking for tutorials on how to make cool effects in Flash?

Is there a list of 3rd party plugins which will work in Photoshop CS4 Extended? I am thinking - in particular - of Blade Pro, Filter Factory, KPT 3 & 5, Sinedot and Super Blade Pro.
Haven't seen one. Anyway lists get out of date.
I guess the best way to get the latest information is to visit each manufacturer's web site.

10.6.8 won't run on a PowerPC Mac.
10.6.8 also won't run the latest Java. Here's what version of Java you can run:

Can I rearrange AU 3rd party plugin's nested folder structure??

Is it possible to organize 3rd party AU plugins by TYPE rather than by Brand? Even better, can they be integrated into the menu of Logic's included instruments/effects? It's hard to sift through say, all your samplers, or all your synths, when they are organized by Company names, and separated from Logics own instruments. I would love to see Kontakt and Sampletank alongside EXS24. And all my compressors together in a list, as opposed to them all being nested individually.
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but was thinking maybe someone figured out a way to change the structure. Thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't think I explained this clearly enough:
My problem is NOT that the plug-ins won't show up in my Library after I set the path to a particular folder in Motion's Preferences.
My problem is that there is no longer even an option anymore to set the path to a particular folder in Motion's Preferences! It was there before, and now it has just disappeared! I don't know how to get it back. When I open Motion's Preferences pane now, in the General section, the sections are as follows:
Startup
Interface
File Browser & Library
Content Library & Templates
Media
Keyframe Editor
Normally, the "3rd Party Plugins" section is right below the "Content Library & Templates" section, but it's not there anymore...
I apologize for any confusion caused by an earlier post and hope my problem is more clearly understood now. Thanks!

Can't add 3rd Party Plug-ins

I am using iMovie 05 HD ver 5.02 and I can't find the Plug-ins folder to add my 3rd party plugins to. I have done a spotlight search and cant find this folder. Other forums about plugins have said this folder is in the path user/library/iMovie/Plug-ins but there is not even any iMovie folder on this path. The only iMovie folder I have is under documents and that only contains a getting started tutorial.

Hi B
Really sure You are looking into Your "user" folder ?
In this there is a folder with in my case "my account" eg "Bengt"
in this ther IS a library folder
and in this ther should be an iMovie folder. If not I would make one
and into this put a folder "Plug-ins" and in this put Your plug-ins.
Restart Your Mac and open iMovie and see if it found the new plug-ins.
Yours Bengt W

Trying to load 3rd party plugins in Main Stage

I'm trying to load 3rd party plugins in Main Stage. I get as far as creating a new channel strip. When I click and hold on I/O, however, the dropdown only goes down as far as "Garageband instruments." Shouldn't I also be seeing "AU" instruments below that? Can anybody walk me through doing this function?

Hi,
you might try a macro / keyboard recorder. I use autohotkey (www.autohotkey.com). If you have selected one or more items in the grid view and press ctrl-shift-n this script:
;LR Start external editor #7
^+n::
#IfWinActive Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
Send {RButton}
Send {Down 8}
Send {Right}
Send {Down 7}
Send {Enter}
return
opens the files in the 7th external editor. Of course the number depends on your installed editors and might change with additional editors.

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).

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 crash Premiere after restart.

Yesterday, everything worked fine. I have a Sequence with clips and have been happily rendering from it for a week.
It has a mixture of Magic Bullet Looks, Film Convert and native effects across a range of clips.
Today, on opening Premiere I find that if any of the 3rd party plugins are enabled I can't render - worse, they crash Premiere.
I have not installed anything or changed anything since I was last using Premiere. I installed an update to the Creative Cloud desktop app this morning, but that was after I started having these issues.
I have tried restarting Premiere numerous times.
Rendering is fine with native Premiere plugins.
System:
Win 7 Pro
Core i7 950
12gb RAM
Quadro FX3800
Running Adobe CC, latest versions

It gets wierder. After the Creative Cloud desktop app was updated it said a whole bunch of programs needed updating so I updated Premiere.
On restart it now wont even recognise the .MTS files it was happily reading earlier.
Apparently it is now an Unsupported Compression Type, which it clearly wasn't earlier.
Windows plays the file fine so this is ANOTHER Premiere issue I'm having now...

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...

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.

Quick look 3rd party plugins not working

The 3rd party plugins not working. Illustrator, Folder view, and quark are the three I use. They worked nice in 10.5.x Tried /Library/quicklook/ tried /user/library/quicklook/ even forced into system/library/quicklook/
Anybody else use these or any other 3rd party plugin?

I can confirm that Folder View plugin no longer works. the developer discusses it here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/t_trace/2060171212/
but I can't understand if they figured out how to fix it or not.

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.
