Locating the AVX Plug-Ins Folder (Windows Only)
When you first install the Avid editing application, the installation program asks you to choose a location for the AVX_Plug-Ins folder. The default path is:
C:\Program Files\Avid\AVX_Plug-Ins
If the administrator accepts the default location for the AVX_Plug-Ins folder, you can install AVX plug-ins here.
If the AVX_Plug-Ins folder is not in the default location, or if the effects are not appearing in the Effect Palette after you install them, you can use the Regedit application that comes with your Windows system to identify the location of the AVX_Plug-Ins folder.

Use the following procedure only to obtain information on the location
of the AVX_Plug-Ins folder. Do not change any of the information in
the Windows Registry. Changing values in the Windows Registry
might affect the performance of your Avid editing application.
|
To locate the AVX_Plug-Ins folder using Regedit:
1. | |
Click the Start button, and then click Run.
|
2. | |
Type regedit in the command line, and click OK.
|
3. | |
In the left pane of the window, navigate to the following path:
|
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid Technology\AVX Plug-Ins
4. | |
Click the AVX Plug-Ins folder in the left pane, and then check the
entry for "Directory" in the right pane.
|
The value of this entry is the path that contains the AVX_Plug-Ins
folder.

Remember that AVX plug-ins must be installed in the AVX_Plug-Ins folder
itself, not elsewhere in the path that contains that folder.
