Question

Common location for a plug in installer / Media Encoder Plugin Loading.log ?

Hi there,

I have a problem loading a plugin from After Effects and Media Encoder with Premiere not installed:

1. From the After Effects SDK guideline I read that "Installing your plug-ins in the common location will allow them to be loaded by Premiere Pro, if installed."

I am creating a Premiere Import plugin, which if I understood correctly should work on After Effects too. Now here is my question: will After Effects and Media Encoder look in the "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/" folder even if Premiere is not installed? If not, when writing an installer, should I put a copy of the plugin in both After Effects and Media Encoder plugin folders too?

2. is there a plugin loading log for Media Encoder? I can locate the ones for After Effects and Premiere, but not the one from Media Encoder.

Thank you for any help,

S.

Hi Simone,

Yes, After Effects and Media Encoder will still use plug-ins from that folder even if Premiere isn't installed.

I'm not aware of a plug-in loading log for Media Encoder.
