Getting rid of LUT loader

Hey,

Does anyone know how to remove Pixel Film Studio's LUT Loader plugin completely from their system?

store.pixelfilmstudios.com/product/fcpx-lut-loader/

I had version 1.0 installed, and it's not compatible with the newest version of FCPX. I can do the upgrade to the new version (because I've got nothing against the plugin), but the old version is hanging around somewhere on my system and FCPX gives a dialogue box warning every time it fires up, saying the old version is incompatible. I've done the usual thing of deleting the plugin from my ~/Movies/Motion Templates/Effects folder, but no dice on satisfying FCPX's complainin'. I tried to contact Pixel Films support about it, but no reply so far.

Anyone else had and solved this problem?

Does it still appear in the FCPX Effects browser? If is does, right click and reveal in Finder and delete it.

If you have to run an installer app for it, then you need Pixel Film Studio to tell you what system files to remove, or give you an uninstaller. It's not going to be a simple Motion template.

Hrrm, tried to reply earlier but doesn't look like my reply got posted.

If you can still see the LUT Loader in the effects browser, right click on it and select "Reveal in finder" that'll give you its location. You might need to back up one folder level and delete that (I found 2 Lut loader folders, one below the other).

Try this:
quit FCPX
in Finder, click'n hold Opt, in the menu-bar 'Go', select 'Library'
open 'Application Support'
search for any file related to PFS (sorry for being vague, no such file at hand)
delete it

HINT:
could affect/delete/damage any wanted plugin from PFS!

… no functional updates, no deinstaller, no response, no support… read a lot complains about this company.

Ok, didn't realise. Thought the email for registration and capcha were to stop spamming, didn't see there was another hurdle for them too.

I only recently read the mDusts thing they did to motionvfx so I removed the plugin when I found out what had happened. Sad really. It takes a long time to build any sort of reputation and only moments to destroy it.

Thanks everyone for all your help, but after trying all your suggestions, the plugin was still there.

But doing some more searching brought me to this doc:

And I found the last pieces of the plugin in /Library/Plugins/FxPlug. Deleting it did the job.

Yeah!
