Instructions for installing FxPlug

System Requirements:

  • Final Cut Pro 5.1 or Motion 2 (tested with FCP 5.1.4 and Motion 2.1.2)
  • A computer that will run FCP or Motion 2

Personal Requirements:

  • A sense of adventure
  • Some understanding of motion graphics
  • A tasty beverage to keep you hydrated
  • A snow shovel, if you're in Green Bay Wisconsin
  • A sense of humor (which you must have if you're reading this)

Installation steps:

  1. Request your copy of the lastest VKey2 FxPlug from orders@oakstreetsoftware.com
  2. Wait patiently for your new plug-in to arrive in your e-mail
  3. Unzip the package when it arrives
  4. Move the "VKey2_fxplug.fxplug" bundle (probably looks like a folder) into your Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug folder.
    To do this, locate your home folder, locate the Library folder in your home folder, locate the Plug-ins folder in the Library folder in your home folder, create an FxPlug folder in the Plug-ins folder if there is no FxPlug folder there already, and place the VKey2_fxplug.fxplug bundle into the FxPlug folder.
  5. If you have Final Cut Pro or Motion open, close them and re-open which ever one you intend to work with.
  6. In FCP, you should find an "Oak Street" folder in your video effects menu.
  7. In Motion, you should find an "Oak Street" folder in your video effects menu.
  8. In the "Oak Street" folder, you should find a VKey2 plug-in.
  9. Add the plug-in as an effect, just like any other effect and enjoy

Note: You may notice that the "interlaced" switch is missing from the FxPlug plug-in. That is because the plug-in can determine, programmatically, if there are fields in your video, and if the host has given it a frame with 2 fields, a progressive frame, or a single field, for rendering. i.e. It's automatic.
