Red Giant Universe Plugin not seen by Premiere Pro CC 2015 - The Fix

I have the most current version of Red Giant Universe 1.4. I re-downloaded Red Giant Link as instructed by Red Giant. I reloaded Universe. Here Is the path:

C:/Program Files/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/Red Giant Universe

Obviously, this is the same path for Premiere Pro CC 2014 which report Universe and load the effects and transitions.

HERE is the conflict. All of the Universe individual effects end with     _AE_FX.aex   which should be OK, but every other plugin simply is  .aex

I notice that when Premiere Pro CC 2015 is loading, while the splash screen is still up, it sees the Universe folder, but NONE of the effects or transitions.

I tested this fix by renaming a plugin from "Universe_Blur_Blur_AE_Fx.aex" to "Universe_Blur_Blur.aex" . It properly loaded from the path described above and was able to be applied to a Premiere Pro CC 2015 clip. In other words, the entire naming convention must be changed.

This is a fix applied in Windows Ultimate 7.0 . MAC users will need to research on their own.

    BY the way, this fix does not prevent Premiere Pro CC 2014, AE CC 2014 or 2015 from properly loading the Universe Plugins.

    If you want a bulk renaming solution GO HERE: Download - Bulk Rename Utility

    It is really easy to use. Besides IT IS FREE.

    Step 1. Open the Universe folder in the BULK RENAMING application and

    Step 2. Go to ACTIONS and select ALL - you will see all the files and FROM and TO.

    Step 3. Go to box 5

    Step 4. Click "last" six times to INCREASE to 6

    Step 5. You will see the new names.

    Step 6. Press RENAME

    That is it. Hey, the worst that can happen is that you need to reload Universe and try again. The BEST is that Universe WORKS OK.
