Apple Color Picker does not show up in White Balance Plugin
Some time ago I accidentally installed a Pixel Films Studio plugin that was NOT meant for my FCPX 10.3.4 and Mac (Early 2008) 2 x 3.2 Quad with 32 Gig in OS 10.11.6 system and it caused a bunch of stuff to go kookie in FCP, in fact it kept quitting on me and I was never able to retrieve a certain piece of work that I did. (I’m good at klugey workarounds sometimes). It seemed to corrupt FCPX altogether. So I uninstalled the plugins and it still kept quitting. Pixel Film Studios was horrible in their response to it too and offered no advice other than delete the plugin and reinstall FCPX.
So I reinstalled FCPX twice, and neither the Apple Color Picker boxes nor the Motion backgrounds would install on both occasions. The eye dropper in various effects would not show up.
I tried installing the Motion graphics backgrounds that were missing several times, to no avail.
Now I tried installing FXFactory Color Balancing tools and again the Apple Color Picker box does not show up.
Is there something I am missing? Is there some bug Pixel Film Studios put into my FCPX array that I need to purge to get my system working again? Has anyone else had something like this happen?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Can you offer up a screen shot of the inspector of the plugin?

Happy days! I thought I would submit the problem once again Pixel Film Studios and this time the gave me the solution, which was to delete 3 apps, the Autotracker apps from the PFS folder in Applications. Now my FCPX system works like old times, the color pickers are back, the backgrounds are back too. So it wasn’t a matter of not having them installed after all, but they were somehow blocked by this Autotracker. So beware when they put the warning below not to instal the plugin on older OS systems.
