Problem loading Topaz plug-ins in PS6.

When plug-in loaded subsequent plug-ins added but prior plug-in removed. Is there a fix for this?

I ussed to have that problem until I used this advice from Stephanie Griffin of Topaz Labs. [This assumes you are using Windows and not Apple]
For Windows:
Please go to your preferences menu in Photoshop and select Plug-ins. Check / enable the Additional Plug-ins Folder option then click Choose. After that, please navigate to: C: \ Program Files* and select the Topaz Labs folder. Then click Choose (or it may say Save / OK) to save this back to Photoshop. Back in Photoshop click OK to save your changes, then restart Photoshop. Once Photoshop opens, go to your Filter menu and you should be able to access Topaz.

I can't load up Plug Ins

I just downloaded a list of plugins from CycoreFXHD 1.7.... I have a list of plugins in a folder, but whenever I try to open them up in Adobe After Effects CS4... it says "Name of effect".plugin is an unknown file type?
Sorry, I'm completely new at Adobe After Effects

See this page for information on installing and loading plug-ins.
What, exactly, are you doing when you get this error message? (I suspect that you're trying to import them as if they're source footage.)
Are you sure that you got the right versions of the plug-ins for CS4? The 64-bit version only works with CS5, and the 32-bit version only works with CS4.
It seems a little odd that you'd be loading these plug-ins as one of the first things that you'd do if new to After Effects.

How to make plug ins show up in the filter menu, several Topaz plug ins are in the 13 plug in folder?

How to make plug ins show up in the filter drop down menu, when several Topaz plug ins have been moved from Elements 11 to the plug in folder for Elements 13?

Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

Your Creative Cloud account allows you to install software on two computers, regardless of operating system. Just log in to Creative Cloud from your second computer and install the app. See http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html.
If you opt to do so, your files will be synched between the machines and Creative Cloud itself.

Topaz plug ins. Which program to run topaz in?

Lightroom vs photoshop. I've never used plug ins in the past. Purchase completed several weeks ago but can't decide where to download. Is it possible to use in more than one program? Yes, I posted to topaz forum without answer so I'm back at Adobe!

I'm pretty sure you can, but you have to download separate versions of each Topaz programme. That said, I don't believe you cannot use Remask plugin in Lightroom. It needs layers apparently.
As I remember, I also had to download and install a programme called Topaz Fusion Express 2, before installing anything into Lightroom. This is the bucket that all the other Topaz bits are loaded into, and which appears when you click on Photo/Edit In on the Lr menu bar. It opens up a further drop down from which you can make a choice of installed Topaz modules.
Once you have installed all you want in Lightroom; open up the second lot of (duplicate) Topaz downloads and choose Ps or PsCC as your programme of choice and they will appear in the Filter dropdown.
Hope this helps. its some time since I went through the Topaz rigmarole.

Topaz Plug-ins not working in LR 4

Spent over two hours on the technical support chat line this morning trying to resolve this issue. In the end, the support specialist had to punt and escalated the case to a higher level. Not sure what that means, I haven't been notified by anyone at Adobe. I also notified Topaz Labs and they said some people are having the problem and some are not but they're looking for solutions. Adobe's opinion was that it was Topaz's issue to deal with but after reading the plethora of posts I'm not so sure. I'm running Mac OS 10.7.3 and that seems to be a common thread through a lot of what I read. I don't get the impression that Adobe is listening to their customer on this one. Otherwise their support specialists would have been all over this. Sigh....guess I'm waiting for a patch from someone...maybe.

I had the same problem with LR4 and plugins from Topaz. I have PS3 and am not interested in downloading PS5. Here is what I sent to Topaz and their response:
I followed instructions for removing old versions of Fusion Express and reinstalled. I purchased two plugins as well today,Topaz Adjust and Star Effects. When I attempt to edit photo in Lightroom 4 by selecting a photo, then choosing Photo, edit in, Fusion Express2 64bit, I receive the message Unexpected error performing command: bad argument #1 to \'lower\'(string expected, got nil). I have 6GB of RAM on a Dell N5010 laptop with an Intel i5 2.53Ghz processor, using Windows 7 64bit.
Response from Topaz help:
Hello,
It seems that the issue with Plug-ins and there compatibility is on Adobe's end, and supposedly they are going to be releasing a new version on LR4 that is compatible (a 4.1 version) asap.
Please see here for more info: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photosh...
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Garageband 10.0.3: old files won't load instrument plug-ins

Hi all,
I've opened up some old Garageband files in GB 10.0.3 and when I add a new software instrument track, I can't load any instruments. It won't play the apple plug-ins or third-party plug-ins(all up to date). If I create a new project, everything works fine. AU units are selected under preferences.
Here's a screen shot of my load attempt. As you can see, instead of instruments, I'm only seeing effects. Any help with this problem is appreciated.

OK. I will give it a shot. I assume I can reload FCPX without having it count as another download from the APP store. I think they have a limit of 5, but maybe that is to different computers.
Thanks for letting me know about having to install in a certain order. I am going forward with FCPX but need to go backwards with FCP7.

Problem with spectrasonic plug-ins

Since I have updated my old Lacie FW Drive to a new bigger one, I get the following error message from my spectrasonics plug-ins when starting up my project:
The UVI-engine reported an error...
Could not change preset
Error ID -1409
Error ID -1409
Then when I click on a spectrasonics plug-in, logic crashes. Strangely enough, when I open a new spectrasonics plug-in, it works fine.
The problem is, that I can't see which preset I used, otherwise I could open a new instant and set it to the correct preset.
This is how I updated my drive:
I mirrored the old drive to the new one with Chronosync.
I've made new aliases to the spectrasonis .dat files.
I hope someone can help me...
Jules

Either permissions (of dat files or other assctd), authorization conflicts, or preferences (of the plugin itself).

Error message loading Topaz plug-in

Using plug-in manager, I get an error message when trying to load the plug-in. What next?

Tell us what the error message is?
And the plugin, and the Lr version.
Note that as far as I'm aware, Topaz plugins need to be accessed in Lr via their "Fusion Express" program - Topaz apps are not "Lightroom plugins" per se.

Premiere Pro CS4 won't boot - keeps crashing when trying to load VST plug-ins

This problem has been a thorn in my side for ages - after a recent software update to some of my VST plug-ins, Premiere Pro will no longer boot. I have to re-name the VSTPlugins folder to a different name. It used to be that it would scan the VSTPlugins folder, crash a bunch of times, then eventually boot up because it figured out that it should ignore that folder. It no longer does this, so I have to manually rename the VSTPlugins folder every time I run premiere.
Obviously, this is a hassle. And is extremely easy to fix from a programming point of view: stop scanning my VSTPlugins folder!!!!!
Is there a workaround for this, or a way to tell Premiere to stop scanning that folder for plug-ins?
Thanks,
rgames

Hi Bill - as I mentioned in my first post, the behavior you describe is what used to happen: keep launching PPro until it finally boots (pretty lame solution, by the way).
However, as I also mentioned, that no longer works. PPro keeps crashing on the same two or three .DLL's and they never get "blacklisted" because it tries again on the next boot. These .dll's were recently updated, so I'm guessing that's why it's an issue now. I was able to boot-crash-boot-crash ... boot-crash-boot before, but not since the .dll's were updated.
The coding solution is so simple I can't believe it's never been implemented: give the option to stop scanning the VSTPlugins folder! Seriously, this is probably 2 minutes of coding for someone who knows where to look in the code.
Anybody have a fix for this problem?
Thanks,

Aperture 3 problem with export plug-ins in 32-bit mode

I have a number of export plug-ins for Aperture, the ones I use most often being flickr export and BorderFX. I restarted my laptop in safe mode to get access to the 32-bit checkbox in the Aperture info screen, and now my Aperture defaults to 32-bit when it opens. That's all well and good. However, my plug-ins still do not work. If I select BorderFX, the usual box does not pop up. The export plug-ins are then grayed out, and when I go to quit Aperture, I get the following dialog box:
"Aperture is currently exporting files. If you quit, the export task will be canceled."
If I select flickr export, the screen pops up, but then hangs on flickr authentication.
Any ideas?

Bumping in a desperate attempt for some answers.

Loading dynamic plug-ins(SWF) in OSMF

I am working on an OSMF player which needs to load plugin from a URL and is in the form of SWF. How can I load this into the mediaFactory?
I have checked over the internet and I was able to figure out way to load the SWF plug-in but it always returns error. No request is sent to the server for loadin the SWF.

I have downloaded the latest one from sourceforge.
an excerpt from the code
package
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import org.osmf.media.MediaFactory;
    import org.osmf.media.URLResource;
    import org.osmf.utils.URL;
    import org.osmf.events.MediaFactoryEvent;
    public class MediaFactoryExample extends Sprite
        public function MediaFactoryExample()
            // Construct a media factory, and listen to its plug-in related events:
            var factory:MediaFactory = new MediaFactory();
            factory.addEventListener(MediaFactoryEvent.PLUGIN_LOAD, onPluginLoaded);
            factory.addEventListener(MediaFactoryEvent.PLUGIN_LOAD_ERROR, onPluginLoadError);
            // Instruct the factory to load the plug-in at the given url:
            factory.loadPlugin(new URLResource("http://objects.tremormedia.com/embed/swf/osmfacudeoplugin.swf"));
        private function onPluginLoaded(event:MediaFactoryEvent):void
            // Use the factory to create a media-element related to the plugin:

BIG problem running outside plug-ins

after dropping plugins in the folder they belong, they do not show up in my inserts menu. they are AU plug-ins and SHOULD work however, no plug ins i own will work. this becomes very frustrating when i spend money on software and my logic doesn't recognize it. what could the issu be?

yes. i got everything all installed and dropped the
.component file where it belongs. they are actual AU
plug ins that should show up in my drop down menu
after being dropped in their compopnent folder. and
my computer is intel based. i'm sure it's something
im doing wrong i just need help finding it.
agh
Hi.
The AU plugins HAVE TO BE INTEL COMPATIBLE.There is no way around that.
Check with the makers of your plugins and download the correct versions.They should say "Universal Binary".
Cheers
