I should point out that while I participated in the beta, AFTER FCS2's release I bought a new machine and did a clean install of FCS2 and I had this problem (despite the fact that beta libraries were never installed on this machine, nor did I migrate my user account to it) - which was resolved by following instructions like yours... CFBundleShortVersionString is set to 1.7.1 in both the framework's Info.plist and version.plist files. And isn't the PluginManager framework responsible for actually loading the plugins? If so I would expect that Motion would be seeing the same problems. the problem is that you have an early beta of some shared libraries, but the updater thinks that you have the latest shipping versions, because it is looking at PluginManager's version number. *Lowering* the version number from 1.7.1 to 1.7 will convince the ProAppsUpdater installer to update you to the shipping version of these libraries, which Final Cut needs for FxPlug hosting. These libraries live in /Library/Frameworks, so you probably didn't clean them out when you trashed the apps and reinstalled. This was caused by a bug in our installer process; we've fixed things so that it shouldn't happen again. But those who participated in the 6.0.1 beta may need to do this extra step. Please try the steps in my earlier message and let me know if they work. Thanks! CFBundleShortVersionString is set to 1.7.1 in both the framework's Info.plist and version.plist files. And isn't the PluginManager framework responsible for actually loading the plugins? If so I would expect that Motion would be seeing the same problems. Software Update is showing that I have all updates to date, including FCP Update 6.0.1 and Motion Update 3.0.1. (Are they part of the PAU2007-01 update?) When I did the ProApps reinstall from the DVD, I trashed the applications as well as the various receipt files to make sure updates would be reapplied. we've seen problems like this when upgrading an earlier beta of Final Cut 6.0.1 to a later beta, or to the released version of 6.0.1. If your "bad system" ever had one of our betas on it, this could be the culprit. If you are in this situation, we have a pretty ugly workaround to get you out of it: 1. Edit the file /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/ Resources/Info.plist and change the value of CFBundleShortVersionString to be 1.7. 2. Edit the file /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/ Resources/version.plist and change the value of CFBundleShortVersionString to be 1.7. 3. Run Software Update and install PAU2007-01. I have a weird situation here. On one computer, several plugins I've written plus some other third party plugins aren't showing up in FCP, but they are showing up in Motion. No console messages, either. I've even trashed all the ProApp applications and reinstalled from the DVD with no difference. They -are- showing up in both Motion and FCP running on a different computer. steve _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
