Removing Plugins
Posted by Jonathan Marck on December 31, 2009 at 6:30 pmI made the mistake of installing the free version of FXFactory. It loaded Final Cut with a ton of trial version plugs that I will never want to use and now I can’t figure out how to get rid of them. None of the names show up in any of my hard drive searches and I’ve gone through every plug-in folder I can find to no avail.

But if you want to jump ship, the FX Factory application allows for an uninstall. You can find it in your applications folder.

December 31, 2009 at 6:45 pmThanks but that’s the first place I looked. Not there!
I was a little too annoyed in my first post. I actually like a lot of the plugs, its the trial ones I’d like to get rid of.

December 31, 2009 at 7:40 pmThe great thing about FxFactory is that you can select which plugins you want to load.
Open up the application FxFactory and then untick the plugins you do not want – done!

That’s just weirdly not possible but you seem to be willing to blame FxFactory for an inability to manage a system.
If you installed it, it’s there. FxFactory only knows one place to go, you Applications folder. It cannot be placed anywhere else unless you move it or deliberately tell it go someplace else during the installation.
You could try this: Locate the download file and run the installer again. It should tell you there’s another copy and help you find it. Or it might run anyway and you can make a note of where it’s going. Then you can run another “full syste ” search to locate the new copy. Use command-F at the finder level to open the Apple Find window and search for kind:applications, contains fx.
I’m with Wiggins, though, FxFactory’s filters and plugins are really cool and the freebies you get with it are worth having. They’re FREE. And you can easily turn everything else off. Idustrial Designs’ freebies are cool and useful and SugarFx’s Photo Maestro is a life saver. CoverFlux itself is worth any hassle you may have endured up to this point.

December 31, 2009 at 9:22 pmReinstalled twice. Still no application in the application folder, even though at the end of the install it specifically says go to the application folder to open the application. I’ve never seen anything like this.

December 31, 2009 at 10:03 pmJust got an email from Noise Industries saying this is a known issue. They sent me a manual install folder that fixed the problem. Now, time to start ENJOYING this collection!
