I’ve had the same exact issue happen on a machine here in Chicago, and I think I might have your answer.

I’ll assume that the real issue is that the plugins aren’t even showing up in FCP, even though they seem to be in the right location within /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System/Plugins

What I found was that since I had installed After Effects after FCS, the “.bundle” designation after the boris plugin folders had somehow turned them into AE plugs. When looking at these items, (Text Scrambler, Title 3D, Title Crawl and Vector Shape) they even had AE plug icons.

The fix was pretty simple. On the Desktop, I created new folders and called them:

Text Scrambler.bundle
Title 3D.bundle
Title Crawl.bundle
Vector Shape.bundle

Each time, the Finder asked if I wanted the .bundle extension added, to which I responded “Add.” I then opened each “bundle” by right-clicking on each one and selecting “Show Package Contents”. Then, I opened the packages of the Boris Plugs (using the same technique) and then dragged the “Contents” folder of each plug into the corresponding folders I had created on the desktop. I then deleted the old plugs and placed my new home-spun plugs into the folder. A restart of FCP had the plugs working fine again.

Let me know if this does the trick.

Yes, you will find the application in…

/System/Library/CoreServices/

Unforunately the 5.7 beta drivers are the minimum for Mac Pros. BMD is aware of the issue. Make sure Kristian knows of your fate.

The fix currently is to downgrade (via uninstall and reinstall) of 5.6.2 drivers.

Cheers,

[Jeff Bernstein] “Have you tried removing sync just for $hits and giggles?”

Removing the sync removes the blinking, no doubt, but in time, the pictures drift. Ya need sync if you have an analog deck…
