Protools plugins loading in FCP – LOOOOOOOOOONG!
I just fired up Final Cut Pro 5.1 for the first time after installing my new Digidesign HD1 pcie card with Protools 7.3 and Waves Gold TDM/RTAS Bundle in my Mac Pro quad 2.66.
As FCP loaded, I noticed it was trying to load the Waves plugins… I thought “Cool! I can do more audio work in FCP!!” but… it took about 35 minutes to load and verify the ilok authorizations.
So, I tried unplugging the ilok and hitting quit when the waves core tried to load. This makes FCP crash and quit.Here’s the question, how do I tell FCP to not load my Protools plugins? Is that the ‘show only recommended filters’ thing?
/more of an audio guy than a video guy for now

Set up your computer for multiple users….one user is for FCP and one is for Protools.
Put the plugins for protools in the user library for the Protools User instead of the Library folder at root level.

Ok, that sounds like it would work… is there any way to just tell FCP not to use those plugins?

You are not using the AU plugin version in protools, but FCP wants to load them. Just move the AU versions to a different folder and then FCP will not see them on start up. We do that here and it works fine.

Great! Thanks! I will try that.

Alrighty, I pulled the waveshell .au files from the waves folder in the programs folder, then the one in the library/audio/component folder.
All is fine with the world.Thanks for the help!
