Getting Running Again after Repairs
Latest FCP Studio. G5 2×2.7. 4 MB Ram Promax SATAMax with 1 TB.
After major physical repairs to my G5 (A new processor and Logic board) I’m having a little trouble getting back in business. Namely, My Boris stuff, like title 3d etc seems to be missing. I seem to remember that it was a seperate install, but I can’t remember where to find it to re-install it, or where I should look to re-connect it to FCP so that FCP can “know” that its there.
ANy tips in this recovery process would be appreciated.

Boris 3d should reinstall with FCP.
Did you have to reinstall anything or was your hard drive left untouched?

The hard drive was (theoretically) untouched. I did have to re-enter the serial number for FCP, but except for calligraphy it all worked fine.

Hmm. Weird.
Look in your Library > Application SUpport > Final Cut Pro System Support > Plugins folder and see if your Boris plug ins are in there.
Why didn’t Calligraphy work? Do you mean Title 3D?

Yes, the pluins are there. So I took the pluins and hid them. Then I did a re-install from the disk, since it says it will install FCP AND Calligraphy. Sure enough, it does install the plugins in the place where they were…the same place you specified. FCP will not use them.
When I launch FCP I get a meassage that says:
“AE Effects Error: Unable to load plugin “Text Scrambler” ” Or “Title 3D” or the others. It asks if I want to find it from another directory, so I tell it Yes and navigate down to where the plug-ins are. FCP can see them (not greyed out) but when I select the appropriate plug-in I get the error message again.So I think FCP is seeing the plug-ins, but it doesn’t seem to be able to use them, even when freshly installed from the FCP install disk.
Within FCP it can see the plug-ins (now it can see two of each one, the originals that I moved and the new installs) When I select them I get the Unable to Load Plug In red screen. Other plug-ins from Eureka and TooMuch work fine.

What OS/QT/FCP versions are you running? I have never heard of this before. I would definitely keep only one version of the plug in in there. And again, what do you mean by Calligraphy?

Calligraphy is what they call the set of Boris products bundles with FCP
I’m on FCP 5.0.4 OS 10.4.8 QT 7.1.3
