Hey George,
This can be confusing, but a bundle really is just a folder, but the
OS recognizes it as such and doesn't allow you to explore the contents
in finder. if you right click any bundle (or app for that matter) you
can select "Show Contents" and explore it as a folder. FxPlug files
just don't have this feature built into the OS so Finder isn't smart
enough to pretend it is not a folder. Make sure you've changed the
UUID's from the example project (make sure to only change the ones
that are different, 2 of them are should be the same - this tripped me
up) and then put the .fxplug "folder" into /Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug ,
relaunch final cut and you should see your plug in.
To avoid UUID problems, just do this with one of the example projects
to get it to show up in FCP, then try it with your own project. This
will cut down on possible causes of error. If FCE isn't loading it
still then there are other issues.
