FCP 6 Plug-ins to FCP 5

hi,
so i have fcp 6 at the office, which comes with some new 'standard plug-ins' from the previous version, i was hoping someone would be able to tell me if i can get those plug-ins onto my personal machine which is running fcp 5?
thanks

I don't think so. the new plugins use FX plug technology, and I don't think they are supported then by earlier versions. You could try it though by placing them in your plugins folder in the system library's application support folder.. Still don't think they will work though.

Wide angle correction plug-ins I'd like to see in FCP

It with some frustration I learn how Adobe Premiere's CS3 is beginning to overtake FCP in terms of useful plug-ins. One very useful plug-in in Premiere is "unpop" (not sure if that's it's actual name) that corrects the barrel distortion on wide angle adapters to give your footage a more Hollywood wide angel look, straightening out those curved verticals towards the edges of the frame. That's a plug-in I'd like to see FCP adopt in the next upgrade. Whilst they're at it, why not add PhotoShop's lens correction filter that can remove/lessen chromatic aberration? Anyone using wide angle lens would find these effects filters indispensable.
Unless of course anyone knows of a (cheap!) set of effects plug-ins that can already do these things?
Here's hoping.

Such stuff is all relative. Apple is not going to to provide a filter for everything and your need for barrel distortion correction is not anywhere on my list of things to add or to fix in FCP.
There are literally hundreds of plugs available for FCP. All you have to do is invest time to find them, time to test them, and money to buy them.
But there will always be interesting things available for After Effects that won't work in Motion; cool filters for FCP that aren't available for Premiere, stuff you can do in Photoshop that would be silly to have available inside Aperture.

FCP X PLUG INS/TEMPLATES

Created some templates/plug ins in motion and saved them as generators that appear in the FCP X themes window. Want to delete some of these.....can anyone give me the correct path on my drive where they are likely to be saved? Thx.

They should be here: Users/user/Movies//Motion Templates/Generators.

Fcp looking for non-existent plug ins

i installed some demo audio units plug-ins a while back and didn't like them so i deleted them.
i just had to re-install FCP and now, every time i launch, it looks for each and every one of the audio units. i have to click cancel like forty times to start the program. i've thrown away my prefs, reinstalled the prgram, thrown away all the install receipts, made sure the audio untis are gone etc. I also use Logic Pro as well (that's what the audio units were originally intended for)
thanks

Free plug ins for fcp

so a few have suggested a couple free plug ins for the garbage point masks, and i do apreciate it, this question is in regards to free plugins in general.. how safe are they and the sites there found on? what are the chances ill ruin my new mac by putting them on my system, sorry to ask so much but im just trying to learn as i go,
thanks in advance
Brucey Bizzit

Many of the posters here author them -- some without cost and some sold.
Are the sites safe? From what?
Never heard of a plug in for FCP ruining a computer. If they don't work or cause issues, just trash them

Plug-ins crashing FCP

Anyone out there have problems with their plug-ins?
First FCP kept crashing with BCC 5 installed [crashing to desktop]
so I removed it
then it started crashing with Magic Bullet!!!
Anyone have any ideas?

Here's the whole kit and kaboddle:
Close Final Cut Pro.
Go to: Users/your user name/Library/Preferences.
Drag, "com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist" to the trash.
Scroll down to the Final Cut Pro User Settings folder.
Drag, "Final Cut Pro 6 Preferences" to the trash.
Drag, "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" to the trash
Drag, "Final Cut Pro POA Cache" to the trash.
Go to: Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
Select your system disk
Click on the Repair Permissions button
Wait for permissions to repair
Restart your computer

FCP takes 15-20 minutes to start, once it's loaded plug-ins

Once plug-ins are loaded and RT bits are done, FCP 7 takes 15-20 minutes to start. I've closed projects, I've deleted preferences, repaired disk permissions but still no joy.
Activity Utility suggests that FCP is looking for a previous files assets.
Had anyone else experienced this?
Many thanks

By default, FCP will try to load the last project that was active.
While 15-20 minutes is a long time to try loading even a missing project and it's media, you might try turning this option off. Click in the menu bar where you see *Final Cut Pro* in bold typeface.
Go to User Preferences.
De-select the option "Open last project on application launch" in the General tab.
Post back with your results.

Audio Plug-Ins Won't Let FCP Open

Does anybody know how to disable audio plug-ins within FCP? I have a Waves bundle for use with Pro Tools on the same computer. The Waves plugs are authorized with an iLok. If that iLok isn't present, FCP closes during launch because it can't open the waves plugs.

Move the plugs out of the FCP Plugins folder.
It's really that simple.
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but its really *not that simple*.
You see FCP will load 3rd party AU's that are in a shared folder - Library -> Audio -> Plug-Ins -> Components. If I want the AU's to show up in Soundtrack for example they have to be in that folder, but then FCP will load them as well.
I have a Powercore that I don't want to use in FCP, but want to use in Soundtrack. It causes FCP's load time to triple and it's really annoying. I've found no trace of a plug-ins folder that is just for soundtrack either.
I suppose that AudioUnit Manager will do the trick but I really did not want to install yet another app to sort this out but that seems to be the only option at this time.

Fcp plug ins

ok I will sound stupid now but I’ve just found out that you can get plug ins for fcp. I’ve downloaded one how do I install it? I’m still new to the mac and I haven’t done this before.
I’ve down loaded one and it comes in a folder. The structure is below
name of plug in>contents>
Then in side that it has to more folders and a file
One of the folder is resources the other folder is MacOs and there is a file called info.plist
Do I need to go into the other folders? and what am I meant to drag and drop where?

Hi,
After downloading the plug-in drag it to *Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Final Cut Pro System Support > Plugins* folder.
Finally restart Final Cut Pro and the plug-in should show up in the effects menu ( generators or transitions folders depending on what your plugins are) .

Powered plug-ins loader will not allow opening of FCP 6

Have the most current Mav OS installed on MBP Retina late 2013. When I try to open FCP 6 it comes up with this message:
Powered plug-ins loader reported error 2. Please re-install
Current plugin: UAD Modifilter
Well I unistalled it using UAD 5.4.1 driver which was the version that was installed. Since the MBP doesn't have a PCI slot I did this. Any other suggestions?

How did you install FCP 6 on to this computer? Because the latest OS doesn't let you do it without a lot of trickery. And the latest OS doesn't really support this really old FCP version...so that is an issue.

FCP & Digital Film Tools - Composite Suite plug-ins

Hi, and thanks in advance to anyone that answers to this thread. I am looking for any kind of feedback from users of FCP & Digital Film Tools - Composite suite of plug-ins. My company is looking into the purchase of the suite and we are interested in anyone's past or current experiences using the poroduct.
Thanks again,

DFT Ozone is pretty interesting to an old darkroom guy like me. It allows one to make adjustments based on tonal zones- think Zone System.
DFT Light throws different light sources into a scene like window, door etc or you can customize it. Pretty cool, but I don't know how much I'd use it.
I couldn't really get my head around DFT Power Stroke in the few minutes I spent. It's less intuitive than the other 2 DFT filters.
The Tiffen filters are more like Cokin filters, but the Grain simulator is interesting on monochromes. In color, it just looks like noise to me.
I checked out all 4 in demo mode, and I didn't read anything. I just played, and only gave about 5 minutes to each plug-in.

How to write FCP Plug-ins - Anybody Know?

I'm thinking I'd like to learn how to write Plug-ins for Final Cut Pro. What's a good online source that might teach me how to do that?

Do you know C, Brian?
The difficulty I find with FxPlug authoring is that, unlike FxScript, you have to write everything.
In other words, if you want to blur an image, in FxScript, just pass your image to the Blur (or BlurChannel) routine:
Blur(bimage, Dest, radius, aspectof(Dest))
in FxPlug? You'll have to write a blur routine... how up are you on your Gaussian Blur algorithms?
Same with keying - need to do a chroma key? In FxScript:
RGBColorKey(src1, buf1, red, redsoft, green, greensoft, blue, bluesoft, softness, 1);
How are you at writing an RGB keyer in C?
I've only written one or two FxPlug plugins because of these limitations...

Sapphire plug-ins with FCP

i'm interested in buying the plug-ins from genarts
has anyone on this forum worked with these yet?
some ideas plz regarding the use and benefits from this plug-in

Sapphire is EXPENSIVE. I have used them, quite often...TOO often.
And to get what you want you can buy far less expensive plugins and get the same thing.
www.nattress.com FILM EFFECTS can get you old cinema looks, as can Magic Bullet Editors two, CGM Film LE, and heck, even just plain old Quicktime Pro has those options built in.
Titling? I never used Sapphire for titles. Motion, After Effects, Livetype...
Flashback look? What is that?
Here are a list of TONS of plugins that are far cheaper than Sapphire. I never used 90% of what sapphire offered anyway...mainly cheese.
