Can't use 3rd party plug-ins

I've tried to install some third party audio units (from Blue Cat and Digital Fish Pnones) to use in STP 3, but they simply don't show up in the Effects tab. I'm quite sure I've installed them correctly but have I missed something obvious?
Thanks!

This is the Effects tab we're talking about, right?
I downloaded that plugin, and I see that the .dmg had both a mono and a stereo version. Make sure to put both in your components folder. I know that when I removed the stereo version, no plugin showed up in STP. Maybe that's it.
Hope this helps!

I can't get 3rd party plug-ins to work

I downloade the delirium plug-ins from digidesign (the demo) and when I go to motion to open up the 3rd party plug-ins...nothing is there..I went to preferences and changed it in there...but still no luck...I even renamed the folder "3rd party plug-ins" and went back to preferences and did what the manual said...still no-luck....I was under he impression (from a earlier post), that these plug-ins work with motion as well as after-effects

Heya,
I have Delerium loaded, with no problems. I just keep a folder called "AE Plugs" where I store all my installed plug-ins, and I set the preference in Motion to look at that folder. They show up in the "3rd Party Filters" category in the Library.

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

How do I use 3rd party plug-ins in Logic?

Yeah, so I installed a bunch of plug-ins such as Absynth and Elektrik Piano, and when I opened up Logic it said it scanned them as all that. My question is how and it what ways can I use them? Thanks!

It's like the Cubase boards 10-12 years ago.
Legit users... please stop supporting/answering questions people who obviously......
1. Are to ***** lazy to read the manuals.
2. Have pirated the software (plus a few hundred plugins) and barely know what to do with either the plugins or the program. It's pretty easy to tell.

What are 3rd party plug-ins?

I always hear people talking about using 3rd party plug-ins in logic but I dont know what they are I have tried looking on the net but cant seem to get a straight answer.I know logic does not support VST plug-ins so are they just the AU plugins you can install in Logic or something completely different please can someone set me straight thanks.

3rd party (non Apple) Plug Ins can be anything from processing effects to Software synths, samplers, romplers whatever. The AU Plug In format is what Mac's can handle without using VST wrappers. Some users do use VST Plugs with wrappers in Logic but as there are so many AU Plugs out there there is no real need to do so unless you want to use a specific Plug which is only available as an AU Plug In.
Check the KVR Audio site, they have the best compilation of free and commercial Plug Ins on the net:

10.6.8 won't run on a PowerPC Mac.

Using native Logic OSC support with 3rd party plug-ins & new touchOSC maps

Hi All.
Now that logic from 9.1.2 has native OSC support, I wandered if anyone has used it succesfully with their own customised touchOSC maps?
I'm not so interested in using touchsc as a transport/mixer for logic - which is what the default logic map that comes in touchosc s focused on, but more to control a few 3rd party plug-ins inside logic (FXPansion Geist & Strobe) - which would mean I need to create my own maps. It doesn't seem clear however if or how you can edit or use touchOSC maps which use the native OSC support bult into Logic
Anyone had any joy with this, or able top shed some light on possibilities & limitations?

For now they are OSCulator reliant, and that has some advantages: primarily that the user can easily remap anything that doesn't suit their needs. I've been using these for weeks and the combination has been rock solid so I wanted to go with it rather than wait for (and learn) the SDK.
The best part is that these bundles will include everything you need, including custom Kontakt multis, VSL matrix files and of course the OSCulator mappings - and building those may have caused carpal tunnel syndrome! Talk about a mammoth task... Anyway, the goal is for it to be an easy plug & play experience.
Trying to wrap up today or tomorrow - just waiting on some website reorganization...
Stay in touch!

How will FCPX implement 3rd Party Plug-ins?

From a Professional standpoint, the current version of FCPX is unusable on so many levels due to the absence of basic features that made FCP series the juggernaut it was until yesterday.
Here's my prediction of HOW Apple plans to distribute Plug-ins and Add-ons:
Apple is pushing towards a single, universal OS -- most likely a glorified iOS. And they're forcing FCPX users to upgrade to Lion so they have Appstore on their machines just to buy FCPX. Matter of fact, theyi're seeing more profit from Appstore/iTunes than their own computers! Ever since the success of the Appstore -- Apple/Jobs has been pushing to create products and services that will bring even more profit to the Appstore/iTunes business model.
Hence the release of the iPad and the development of iPad apps -- and the move to with OSX Lion.
The reason for this is so that Apple can take their flagship software like FCP --- and monetize all 3rd-party plug-ins and add-ons.
SO, once Apple has a consumer using FCPX, if they want Multi-cam or Import/Export features -- you will have to buy it as an add-on and sell all FCPX plug-ins and add-ons THROUGH THE APPSTORE.
Furthermore -- Apple will most likely force all 3rd-party developers to build plug-ins for FCPX as an APP -- and sell it THROUGH THE APPSTORE -- where Apple gets 30% commission -- stealing that money away from the developers, who in the past with FCP7, you were able to purchase directly from the developer.
SO -- FCPX isn't a revolution in editing....
FCPX is a revolution in MONETIZING FINAL CUT PRO PLUG-INS through the APPSTORE!

Apple is pushing towards a single, universal OS -- most likely a glorified iOS.
No they are not. OS X is a far more developed, powerful and mature OS than iOS. There is no sign that it is being some reduced in power in any way.There's a whole lot of fokks claiming it is simply because a few interface features from iOS are being added - note added - to OS X.
And they're forcing FCPX users to upgrade to Lion so they have Appstore on their machines just to buy FCPX.
Well I hate the argue but that's factually untrue as well. No FCPX users are not forced to upgrade to Lion. Snow Leopard users can buy FCPX today, long before Lion is introduced.

How to PERMANENTLY get rid of 3rd party Plug-ins in Logic pro 9.

Hi, im trying to get rid of some 3rd party plug-ins on logic, but it only looks like i can disable them. (sweeping them under the rug isn't helpful) This is a problem because i have one version of a plug-in that doesn't work and im gonna get another of the same version (with expansions) to replace it so im concerned that the 2 versions will conflict with one another and i wont get the expansions i payed for. Anyone have a solution to permanently get rid of plug-ins? -Tim

The component files of the third party plugins are in:
Local Drive\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components
You can make a backup of a given component (say in a desktop folder) and replace the component with other version etc.
You can use [Pacifist|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/mac/12743] as well to install/extract a component from a given installation pack etc.
Edit: Sorry Immo I duplicated your reply solutions hitting posting a few sec. later...

Text transitions, 3rd party plug-ins, etc.

This seems so simple, but I cannot find it anywhere. I am using motion to create moving pictures and text. I want the text to blur in and out slowly (all of the letters at the same time). I found the text sequence blur but the letters will only be in sequence like left to right or random, correct? I have looked for 3rd party plug-ins but can't find anything as simple as a transitional blur for text. Any suggestions?
Thank you!!

You can modify any of the text sequence behaviors in any way imaginable. Try increasing the Spread value to spread out the animation. Or, just add a blur filter to the text and keyframe the blur amount to change over time.

Problem with 3rd Party Plug-Ins

I am running Logic Pro 7 and recently a majority of my 3rd party plug-ins quit working. When I try to load the plug-ins or open a song that uses the plug-ins, Logic unexpectedly quits. Some of the plug-ins that cause the problem are:
Spectrasonics Trilogy and Atmosphere
Plugsounds PS01-06
Ueberschall BPM120 and PLP120
Native Instruments Kompakt
This has happened before, but for some reason within two or three weeks, they just magically started working again. I could use an update on my OS (10.3.9) and some updates are available for the plug-ins, but why wouldn't everything continue to work as it had if nothing has changed? And is this absolutely necessary because I'd rather not because I'd have to update everything.

Did you update or change ANYTHING on your system? I've learnt that once I have a stable system, DONT upgrade unless you HAVE to, as updated plugins are designed to work on the most recent software, and sometimes dont get tested and/or work with "older" systems.
However, if you have not changed anything and are getting these problems, the most likely cause is either song corruption (though you said this is happening on multiple songs, so I doubt thats the problem) or preference corruption, which happened to me just a few months ago. Dont ask me how things get corrupted, but when they do you start to experience random weirdness. For example, recently all my songs stared giving me "memory errors" on stuff that use to playback fine. Once I rebuilt my preferences, every was stable again.
Here is a link to troubleshooting tips created by Bee Jay (a wise poster here). Follow them and they should fix your problems:
http://logicquicktips.blogspot.com/2006/10/troubleshooting-logic.html
Note: if you created any custom key commands for logic, do not trash your old preferences, as you can import your key commands from this file. Check your manual under import key commands. Here is a link to the PDF of the manual, which is easier to search:http://www.apple.com/support/logic/
If you want to turn off your plugins just to see if they are at fault (though it sounds to me like song/prefs corruption, not plugin problems) use the AU
manager. I'm not in front of Logic right now, but I believe its under either the apple pulldown menu, or the file menu, or one of the other menus "up top."
(sorry for my bad description). If you still cant find it, let me know and I'll look it up, but as I said, this sound like a corruption issue and not an issue with your plugins.
Best of luck!

That list is impressive! Musomolo, I was reading

One more bull to grab by the horns.

"3rd Party Plug-Ins" Not Showing Up In Preference Pane...

I'm trying to install a couple of 3rd-Party Plug-Ins... Apparently the procedure for this is to go to Preferences, and in the "General" pane, there should be a heading that says "3rd Party Plug-Ins" along with buttons "Choose..." and "Clear" and a path.
On my General Preferences Pane, there is no such section... It goes right from "Content Library & Templates" to "Media," with no "3rd Party Plug-Ins" listed anywhere in the pane.
Using Motion 3.0.2.... Did something change and they didn't change the manual to match? Or is there some setting elsewhere that's making that option disappear?
Thanks!!!
Nick

Howdy,
The "3rd party plug-ins" section in the Library and preferences really refers to AE plug-ins. Third-party FxPlug plug-ins (like dvMatte or Boris Continuum) show up mixed in with the regular filters and generators.
That "3rd party plug-ins" path setting in the preferences doesn't appear on Intel-based Macs, as they're no longer supported. If you have a PowerPC system, they'll show up (and so will the setting).

Using third party plug-ins

Hi.
How do I use third party plug-ins. I've just installed SSL LMC-1 component, but i can't find in the insert pop-up menu on the Logic channel strip.

Hi,
I had that plugin,but it no longer shows up under Logic 7.2.3,which is what I'm running now.So I do not use it anyomer,at least until it is updated.
Although a cool plugin,you might want to try either the Free Fish Fillets,which sound better to me,or another pay plugin like the Nomad Factory BT Compressor FA770 which is like the Fairchild,very close in fact.
Cheers
