That seems to have done it. Thanks, Paul.

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!

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.
Anything else you can think of for me to try?

Hi, Steve,
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.
Hope that helps,

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.
Plugins are in ~/Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug/ on both computers.
Bad system: Intel iMac running 10.4.10.
Good system Intel MacBook Pro running either 10.4.10 or 10.5.
Any thoughts from the FCP team or other knowledgeable folks?
