How to install WEBm Plug-in Manually (unable to figure this out)

I need to export a WEBm file.  (A prior thread is still unanswered)

There is a 3rd party plug-in that allows this, but I don't seem to be able to figure out how to manually install it. 

  1. I have a Mac, latest OS as well as updated Adobe CC. 
  2. It says I should have a Plug-ins folder. 
    • I get as far as Common, and there is only a Dynamic Link folder. 
    • There is, however, a Plug-ins folder outside of the Common folder.
  3. I tried to copy the bundle file into that Plug-ins folder, but it didn't work. 
    • also tried creating the folders Plug-ins
    • then 7.0
    • then MediaCore and dropped it in there, but still it didn't  work
    • Then I replaced 7.0 with CC, and it didn't work

(I'm not in the Users folder.  It's definitely the HD Library) 

Any help?


Here are the install instructions:

Installation: Copy the plug-in to the shared MediaCore directory:

Mac:      WebM Premiere.bundle -> /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore

Win:     WebM.prm -> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCo

For older versions of Premiere, replace "7.0" with "CS6" or whateve

Usage:  When installed, you'll be able to import a .webm file into Premiere.

Go to File > Export > Media and choose WebM as the format to encode WebM video.

WebM should also appear as a supported format in Adobe Media Encoder.

BHSLC,

Did you ever figure this install out?

I've manually placed the individual packaged files in in Library>Adobe>Common>Plug-ins>7.0>MediaCore:

   Presets for Premiere CC 2014.pkg

   Presets for Premiere CC 2015.pkg

   Presets for Premiere CC.pkg

   Presets for Premiere CS6.pkg

   WebM for Premiere CC.pkg

   WebM for Premiere CS6.pkg

   WebM Premiere.bundle

Premiere>Export displays the WebM format but none of the WebM presets show.

Where are they located in your directory?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I am editing my post because I found the answer in another post, this works.

"Maybe you already know and have tried this, but there are two libraries on the Mac.  There is the Macintosh HD/Library and there is the Macintosh HD/Users/[Home folder]/Library.  Just looked at mine, and I can get to my plugins on the first library, but I don't have a plugins folder from the second."
