FCP - Audio Plugin Disable

At the startup, FCP scans for plugins (which for me include some UAD plugins), this slows things down quite a lot and some of the plugins fail because they are for another card and not authorized.
So.... is there a way to make FCP not scan for these plugins?

If the errant plugins could be added to a user's library instead of a system library (you can do this with fonts I know for sure), you could set up a user account that accesses these from it's library when you need them, and another user account that doesn't have these. i.e. keep what works in the System library, and keep what doesn't in a separate user account's library.

  • Fcp wont load cause of audio plugins

    Hi. I work on Fcp studio and Logic pro. I have a lot of audio plugins for Logic espescially waves. But now fcp wont load cause it crashes when it gets to a certain plugin. I don't want to use audio plugins in fcp as I do my audio in logic.
    Why has fcp seen my logic plugins and how can I stop this, I can't run fcp. I've tried dragging the components folder out but no luck. There must be a resolution to this, it's driving me nuts.
    Many thanks
    Antony.

    I've had the same problem.
    FCS maintenance pack is not really an option - it disables the plugins globally, so Logic wont load them. It's also expensive (for what it does) - $169.
    The easiest workaround I found is to shift the plugins (located in the /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ folder) to - for example - another folder (not called 'components') on the desktop, before launching FCP. Then you can move them back before launching Logic. A pain, yes, but until Apple fixes their problem...waiting.
    None of the plugins in this folder are core to FCP (if you're like me they'll be all Logic plugins), so there are no consequences to FCP. You could probably keep some in the folder, as I think the problem has got to do with the number of plugins (a different plugin crashes FCP every time for me).
    Cheers,

  • Don't wanna load audio plugin in FCP

    I don't wanna load audio plugin in FCP 5 (audio plugin from Protools and Logic that sharing plugin)
    Who know how to unload that third party audio plugin ?
    Thank you for every answer.

    Version is FCP-X 10.1 with OSX 10.7.2
    I use the Ctl-Shift-S to detach the audio from the video, then I can create a single audio-only storyline for the whole project (grouping and using Cmd-G) and add transitions etc to it. It is sometimes difficult to get it to work because the usual "snap" function which works well for video doesn't always work accurately enough for audio (much shorter "frames") so you sometimes get a few samples overlap, a few samples gap between clips or a few samples of a spurious audio clip between clips which are invisible except at sample zoom - and the transition complains of "not enough media". I have had to learn various tricks to get this sorted out!
    However, before I go any further - I have found the problem. If I replace the clips in the audio storyline from the original media then the transition works properly. It's something to do with what I was doing to the clips before I broke them apart.
    Before I learnt this "separate audio storyline" procedure I was detaching every other audio clip, creating overlaps and using the fade handles. The projects where I used this technique originally, then converted to the "audio-only" storyline are the ones having the trouble. If I start from the raw audio/video storyline, detach the audio and make the separate "audio-only" storyline directly then the transitions work perfectly as they should. If I have previously fiddled with the fade handles, overlaps etc then some of the transitions don't work in the new storyline!

  • Loading FCP without plugins

    I would be most grateful if someone could remind me how to open FCP without loading its associated audio plugins. (One of my plugins, I believe, is causing FCP to crash). I am using Mac OS 10.4.9 on a Mac Pro Intel.

    is there an easy one-step way to do that? i don't know of one but would be glad to be educated on that.
    for a manual method there are a couple of primary plug-in locations:
    /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
    and
    ~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Plugins
    removing or renaming those Plugins folders in those locations will prevent FCP from loading the contained plugins on launch
    there is also the Plugins folder located inside the application bundle ... "Get Info" on the FCP application icon and you will see a Plug-ins section where you can enable and disable the plugins contained within that application directory
    and finally, now, with the support for the FxPlug architecture, FCP will also load compatible Motion plugins ... I have no idea where they live!
    <edit>
    oh bugger. but you're talking about audio plugins... those are probably in:
    /Library/Audio/Plugins
    and
    ~/Library/Audio/Plugins
    someone more knowledgable will know for sure

  • Third Party VST audio plugins  - stereo, multichannel

    Hello,
    I am developing VST audio plugins. I have the trial version of Adobe Audition CS5 on Mac OSX and as I started to realize this version of Audition doesn't support 64-bit VST plugins, is this correct? or is there something I should do for Audition to scan and load my 64-bit plugin?
    Another question I have is well I just made a 32-bit version of my plugin for Audition to find it and it works fine when its a stereo 2 input 2 output plugin.
    But I have a plugin that is 2 input 4 output and although making it 32-bits Audition will scan and find it, It will always be disabled in the plugin list and I can't find a way to enable the plugin.
    I would like to know if its possible to have a plugin that has more than 2 outputs and what do I have to do to enable it since the standard way won't do it (although the plugin is found). And also what is the deal with 64 bit plugins and Audition CS5.
    Any information would be highly appreciated!
    Thanks you very much.
    Sergio.

    This release of Audition is 32-bit only and thus only supports 32-bit VST plug-ins.  You may wish to try your 64-bit VST in Premiere Pro as it is a 64-bit app that also supports third-party VSTs

    You can have plug-ins with more than 2 outputs, however, we don't support plug-ins with asymmetrical channel configurations.  There's a lot of details that need to be attended to in order to get that to be bulletproof.   So if you had something that was 6 in and 6 out, that should be possible in this version of Audition.

  • Third party Audio plugins don't work here

    I'm wondering if someone is able to use third party Audio plugins (like Waves, Sonnox, Sonalksis, etc.) in FCPX. I can't. I have them for Logic and I can see them in FCPX, but if I try to use them I encounter various issues (settings not saved, FCPX crashes, and so on...).
    Only Logic plugs work fine

    There are NUMEROUS of issues with third pty AU's in FCPx. I have reported many of them. Settings not getting stored, crashes etc etc etc...
    Plugs that work perfectly in Logic Pro....
    AU integration in FCPx is highly erratic. Unfortunately.
    You also wanna be VERY careful when using .CAF files in FCPx which have more than two channels of audio. Distortion etc... are bound to happen unless you take appropriate measures and disable channels not pertaining to stereo.

  • Waves bundle in audio plugin list?

    Hi,
    I don't see my waves bundle in the audio plugin list in fcpx?
    In Pro Tools I see it and it is working.
    I do see my psp vintagewarmer plugin and my izotope plugin.

    They have to be AU format, and installed for Logic.  FCP X reads from Logic, is not a DAW so it won't read all audio plugins.  But, you can get Automatic Duck for free, and export and OMF to go to ProTools or SoundTrack Pro or Logic.

  • Audio plugins

    I am using FCP 5.1.1 and I would like to add additional audio plugins, can anyone suggest any?

    I'm not kidding with soundtrack... supports all the VST plugins (or a bunch of them).
    FCP won't -- it's not an audio editor.

    Hi,
    Please move all Items from the below mention folder location and empty the Folder
    Main Hard drive->Library->Application Support->Adobe->Common->Plugin->7.0->Media Core
    Once the Media Core folder is Empty then try to launch .
    Also empty the Quick time folder from the below mention location
    Main Hard drive->Library->Quick time
    Move all components from the Quick time folder and empty the folder and then try to launch , it might fix the problem for you as it seems some plugins are causing the issue.

  • Capturing VHS through DV cam to FCP - Audio clipping!!

    Hey all,
    I'm capturing a VHS through my DV cam (it has analogue to digital version) and when it comes into FCP the audio is clipping (going above 0db)
    Is there anyway to lower the input volume?
    Thankyou
    Paul

    The camera doesn't let you change the input volume
    What I did was:
    Made the VIDEO ONLY go from VCR > DV CAM > MAC
    But made the audio go to VCR > PC LINE IN > PC LINE OUT > DV CAM > MAC
    When the audio came through my PC - I lowered the LINE IN volume so on the FCP audio level meters the audio peaked at -6dbs.
    Not a bad idea hey
    Lucky I had all the cables and connectors laying around.

  • Audio Plugin for iTunes????

  • DVCPROHD Audio Plugin Failure

    I couldn't find a place where this really fit—it's an audio plugin question, but I don't use the Pro Software—so I put it in the general OSX category; feel free to move it.
    My issue is with the DVC PRO HD Audio plugin (/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/DVCPROHDAudio.plugin). I am using a simple afplay command to try and add sounds on startup/login, but I note the following error when using the command through terminal:
    afplay[18548:903] Error loading /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/DVCPROHDAudio.plugin/Contents/MacOS/DVCPROHDAudio: dlopen(/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/DVCPROHDAudio.plugin/Contents/MacOS/DVCPROHD Audio, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:

    For some reason the audio plug in is not loading correctly, and i can't figure out why. To my knowledge I have never messed with the audio plugins on my computer. Kicker: the command worked the first time I used it, but has failed in subsequent uses. Not sure if restart fixes the issue. Any ideas?

    I have this problem happening on a fresh OS X 10.6.5 Install + Logic Studio 9. The console log is filling up with it like crazy. I guess I will remove it from the system for now, but I sure would like to know what it is and what affects the removal of it may have.

  • Missing Audio Plugins

    Just completed first project since updating to 10.0.8 - which was not without it's problems, invovling much deleting of preferences to cure the "restoring windows" hang... Anyway - made a compound clip of the final for export and went to grab an audio limiter to push the levels up a little only to find I had no audio plugins anymore - or so I thought. After much frustration and back and forth with safe boots and more preference deleting I discovered that I did in fact still have all my audio plugins - BUT - all of the catagories that used to display them on the left hand side of the effects browser are now missing; INCLUDING the main catagory labelled "AUDIO" - so it looks like there are no audio plugins available at all.. but actually, if you select "ALL" from the VIDEO list and then scroll down past the video plugins you get the the audio plugins... :-O
    So I'm posting here for 2 reasons - firstly in case anyone else experiences the sense of panic I did when I thought I was going to have to export the audio to process outside and re-import (hours before delivery) and secondly because I would love to know "Where have all the audio catagories gone?"
    I have Waves Mecury, UAD and many, many other plugins installed (594 in total) - so working my way quickly through the list to find what I want is now a complete pain.
    Anyone have any ideas? Or is that just "progress'...?

    No, this must merely a glitch that may probably be fixed by one of the standard troubleshooting techniques:
    1) trash preferences (which you probably tried already)
    2) revert to original layout
    3) delete the layouts folder inside ~/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro
