CHV’s Towers of film FXPlug

[13]

its possible it is not compatible with 5.1.4, check with the maker of the plugin.

[Colin Mcquillan]

They say compatable with 5.1.2 and up.

perhaps when 5.1.3 came out it buggered it,, and not fixed with 5.1.4??

“The FxPlug installer tells me that the installation of the plugins failed. What happened ?
FxPlug plugins are installed into a special folder. You can find that folder here:

/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug/

Unfortunately this folder will not be created along with the installation of Final Cut Studio. This has to be done by the installers of the third party software installers. If such a installer does not do it’s job correctly, let’s say it doesn’t set the permissions of that folder in the right manner, then all following installers have a big problem accessing the FxPlug plugin folder. This is why the installation of new FxPlug plugins can fail.

Take a look into your FxPlug plugin folder. If you can’t find any of the installed plugins then your installation failed. But there is an easy way to “repair” this. Please do this:

– Drag the content of the folder “FxPlug” to your desktop.
– Delete the folder “Plug-Ins”, including the FxPlug folder that’s inside.
– Execute the installer of our CHV FxPlug plugins again. This will create a new “Plug-Ins/FxPlug/” folder with the correct permissions.
– Drag the plugins you have on your desktop back to the new folder.

Now you only have to restart Final Cut Pro or Motion.

This solved the problem,, I had recently installed a different fx plug pack that must have set the permission of the fx plug folder to read only,, preventing further installs to the folder…
