How to install pulging in fcp?

[Andy Mees]

If the plugin does not include an installer then you have to do a manual install … it’s very easy. Just place the plugin into one of FCP’s plugin directories:

For an FxScript plugin, put the file in the /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plug-ins folder
For an FxPlug plugin, put the file in the /Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug folder

… there are other possible locations, but those are the 2 main ones for regular FCP plugin installs.

Or if you have Jon Chappell’s “Pro Maintenance Tools” application suite then you can use his Plugin Manager utility to handle pretty much all your NLE plugin management needs.

If you prefer to not put this at the system level and instead put them in your user library that works as well. If you’re on lion, it’s hidden. Hold down option and choose the go menu. You’ll see Library as a choice. Let go of option and it disappears.

I put them in my user folder so that’s all I need to backup in emergencies.
