  Hi Andy

  I tried your method of fixing the FCP Basic 3D problem but was unable to save the changes in ‘plugins’ as suggested. The save button was greyed out. I tried saving it to the desktop, closing FCP and then dragging it into the plugins folder but an error message came up. Any suggestions ?. Once I do manage to save it, how do I then access it.

  I’ll just jump in here.

  I saw this post and did a search to find the original thread from January 2005.

  I saved Andy Mees’ instructions and followed them exactly (until I got to the “Save it to your…” section).

  After renaming the effect to “Real 3d” (in the lines of code)
  I went to the FXBuilder (pulldown menu) and
  SAVED this new effect to my Desktop (after naming it again in the save box’s window).
  (My Save button was not grayed-out at this point.)

  Then I quit FCP, did a “Find” for “Final Cut Pro System Support” and
  dragged the effect from my desktop into the “Plugins” folder.

  Restarted FCP and the new effect (named “Real 3D”) was now sitting in the same folder along with the unaltered original.

  (And it works great.)

  Thanks for asking about this (as I missed it in January) and thanks to Andy for posting the “fix”.

  Hi Kevin

  Matte’s instuctions should have sorted you out (thanks, Matte).
  I tend to always assume you adminstrator privilledges on the target machine, otherwise you might have trouble making these changes.

  Not sure if yours was a privilledge issue or not, but if you’re still having a problems saving from FCP, then post your email address and i’ll just send you the plug-in.

  Glad its still getting some mileage.

  Cheers
  Andy
