thanks for the feedback, though i found the problem now. I will share in case anyone else has the same as me. The premiere .prm files didnt end up at all at my premiere plug in folder. but on a different drive, the one i actually had the installation file. Red 5 created a folder ‘HOSTPRCS55DEST’ and put them in there. so I had to manually move them to my plug in folder and that fixed the problem.
Thanks again
