3rd-Party Plug-ins Locations for Final Cut Pro
So many times I've downloaded Plug-ins and haven't been able to find them afterwards; it's become a frustrating practice for me in the past as well as other users I've talked to. The key is the location of the Plug-ins folder. Because of the variety of plug-ins available out there, all plug-ins do not install in the same manner; it's basically your job to move them to the correct spot.
The correct path to place your plug-ins is HD > Library > Application Support > Final Cut Pro System Support > Plug-Ins
The reasoning behind the method is so that you're placing them in the base level of the computer versus an individual user. Some plug-ins companies have you using an installer and will place them within the User folder, and therefore not everyone who uses that computer will have access to them.
Another important point regarding plug-ins that so many users tend to forget is the fact that you have to restart Final Cut Pro after you've installed your plug-in, otherwise it will not appear in Final Cut.
