    Which folder do I place my plugins and filters so that they can be shared between both apps. I will mainly use PPro CS4.. If its PPro than Media Encoder always hangs even after I start queue. But from what I heard its an issue where Media Encoder is reading plugins and trying to load them. But once I remove the plugins from Library/App Support/Adobe/Common/ etc etc.. Then everything works. Is there a permanent fix to this.

    It kind of sucks that AME is so crash prone. I had a couple AE plugins that are supposed to work with Premiere in the “Commons” folder but had to move them to The AE Plugins folder because AME would crash while loading them from the Common folder. Which means I have to edit some stuff in AE using dynamic link when it would be easier to do in Premiere.
    You should find the offending plugin and just make sure it is in the AE Plug folder. PPro CS4 Mac does not have a plug in folder.

    I think its GenArts Sapphire but thats one of my heavily used plugins in PPro. So what folders should I place my plugins so AME wont have this problem. I mainly work with PPro and I would prefer to have my plugins there but I dont want to remove and replace plugins every-time I try and render.

    You could put it in the After Effects plug in folder which is in the same directory as the application. If you put it in the AE folder you will still be able to use it in After Effects and it will not load in AME. Dynamic link is the work around.

    There is no plug in folder for Premiere Mac.
    It goes here:/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS4/MediaCore/

    No. If they are loaded in the AE plug folder, they will not be recognized by anything except AE.
