Installing AVX Plug-Ins
AVX plug-ins usually come complete with any necessary documentation. This section describes how to install the plug-ins and how to access them from your Avid editing application.
Most AVX plug-ins have their own installation program. This program locates the AVX_Plug-Ins folder and installs the plug-ins automatically when you follow the installation instructions.
 |
|
If an AVX plug-in has an installation program, you should always use
the program to install the plug-ins. For more information, see the
documentation for the plug-in.
|
Some AVX plug-ins do not have an installation program and must be installed manually.
To install AVX plug-ins manually:
| 1. | |
Quit the Avid editing application.
|
|
|
Do not add or remove plug-ins while your Avid editing application is
running.
|
| 2. | |
Copy the plug-in files from the software vendor's folder to the
3rdáParty Plug-Ins folder located on your system.
|
The default location for the AVX plug-ins folder is:
C:\Program Files\Avid\AVX_Plug-Ins (Windows)
Macintosh HD:product name:SupportingFiles:AVX_Plug-Ins
(Macintosh), where product name is AvidáXpress Pro or
AvidáXpressáDV
However, the AVX_Plug-Ins folder might be in a different location on
your system.
 | |
(Windows only) If the AVX_Plug-Ins folder does not appear in the default
location and you don't know its location, you can locate the folder using
the Regedit application. For more information, see Locating the AVX
Plug-Ins Folder (Windows Only).
|
| 3. | |
Restart the Avid editing application, and open the Effect Palette. The
third-party plug-in effects appear in the Effect Palette, usually in their
own category under the name of the vendor.
|
|
|
You must place the plug-ins directly in the AVX_Plug-Ins folder. They
cannot be inside another folder within this folder or elsewhere on your
system. If they are, your Avid editing application will not recognize
them.
