Help! - Can't Start Edius

[skimmel]

I just tried to add a few folders to the Effects section in system settings and now Edius won't start. I get a warning that the version of a plug-in is not compatible when I try to start Edius, and then it just crashes.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no luck. Is there a way to start Edius without loading effects?

Yup,
You'll need to dig in and rename the problem folders.
Edius may complain, then remove them from the Bridge and confess your foibles.
:~)

Tried renaming problem folder, but Edius still won't open.

Go to the Processes section in Task Manager and make sure there isn't a hung Edius process running.

OK, figured it out. Had to remove the entire folder for Adobe CC plugins. Looks like I'm not going to be be able to get Magic Bullet to work on Edius 7.

This has been explained many times before.....
You should not link to the top folder of ADOBE plug-ins
You should link to the folders of supported plugins directly.
If you link to the top folder you will let EDIUS also load unsupported plug-ins which can result in problems such as the one you are seeing .

Remember that EDIUS needs 64 bit versions of supported plug-ins.

But, MB Looks is still not working -- even when linking as you state!

[GrassValley_SL]

Are you sure you are using the 64 bit version of Looks? That is very important.

[skimmel]

Thanks. Yes, it's the 64-bit version but just found out that the project has to be interlaced, which I didn't realize.

[GrassValley_SL]

At this time there is a known issue in progressive projects.
It should work in interlaced projects.

Thank you!
