SmoothCam still missing,any ideas?

Hi and thank you for reading this

Yesterday Nov 19th I was able to stump the gurus I have a 17 inch Mac Book Pro that I purchased 1 1/2 years ago. I have FCP 6 Academic. SmoothCam is no longer visible or available even after selecting all filters available.

I am afraid to re-install because I am in the middle of an edit and I have lots of plugins that I need and I am afraid that I will lose something if I re-install.

Any thoughts? and feel free to talk to me as if I were a 5 year old

Thank you for any help

Hit "Apple 5" to bring up the effects palette. Right click/ctrl click, make sure that "show all effects" is selected.



If that doesn't work, make sure you have Motion properly installed. Check if you can see the other filters from Motion (eg. the fxplugs in the stylize palette, the Master templates, etc).

Thank you for your response, I have done what you suggest and I have everything including the motion templates, smooth cam is till nowhere to be found.

Can I do a disk search for it like I would on a pc?

You could check in library>application support>ProApps>Internal plug-ins>fxplug

There should be a smoothcam folder.

The ONLY folders I have inside internal plugins are :
1) Browser Kit
2) FX Meta Plug
3) ProFX

my fxplug folder is located in Library/plug-ins/fxplug and I have a bunch of plug ins and 3 (three) folders

1)looks

2)MBCC_Slider.fxplug

3)MBCC.fxplug

Nevertheless smoothcam is nowhere to be seen

Thank you so much for your time

This is interesting. I just checked & my Smoothcam is missing as well. I'm on 6.0.5. A search pulls up the Smoothcam folder where it's supposed to be, but no plugin. How to get it back, any ideas?

Hi Guys,

If smoothcam is missing, chances are all FxPlug functionality is lost in FCP. Try re-installing FCS2 from the original CDs and then immediately run software update to bring FCS back to the latest versions. This should do the trick. Problem usually occurs after upgrading to Leopard and not doing a "clean" install.
