Back in 2009 Wes Plate came across a Snow Leopard installer bug - after
upgrading to 10.6, FxPlug plugins didn't work in Final Cut Pro and Motion
crashed on startup.
He solved the problem by reinstalling FCS.
Given that iMovie 11 and the newest version of Quartz Composer have suddenly
become relevant to my Final Cut Pro plugin development, I decided to upgrade
Snow Leopard over the weekend.
Here's my upgrade process:
1. Backup boot drive
2. Use Snow Leopard install disc that came with current MacBook Pro (I had
cloned my 10.5.8 drive onto it when I first got it) - 'Mac OS version 10.6
Disc version 1.0 2Z691-6532-A' - there was no option to archive and install,
only upgrade was available.
3. Ran the 10.6.7 combo updater and the 6.0.1 ProKit updater (!)
I then did a couple of atypical things: installed the dev tools and turned
on the Graph Foundation log window using QC 4.0 (103.1)
I got the same symptoms as Wes: no FxPlug plugins in Final Cut Pro, Motion
crashing on startup.
Turns out that the Snow Leopard upgrade process didn't maintain
/Library/Frameworks/FxPlug.framework
from my original install.
Once I copied /Library/Frameworks/FxPlug.framework from my the backup of my
10.5.8 boot drive, all was well.
