VST Effects in PP5.5

[Jammer]

Hi All,

I'm trying to get Premier to find my pre installed VST effects. I have a stack of very good VSTs that I would like to use in PP but no idea how to get it to work. Apparently PP checks your registry for the location among other things but it's completely failed to find them. There are only the Adobe audio effects available in the drop down menus.

If it makes any difference in terms of compatibility I want to use my SSL Duende Native plugins. Not sure if they are compatible or not.

Cheers,

James

I've just checked my Registry and I have:

VSTPluginsPath = C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins

So shouldn't PP have picked this up and looked for compatible VSTs in this location (including sub dirs)?

In case anyone else is having his issue I've fixed it.

The only valid VST -> VSTPluginPath setting was actually in the WOW section of the registry so PP being native 64 bit wasn't finding the setting, manually creating this setting allowed PP to find my VSTs.

Nice trick! Glad you got the VST plug-ins working.

I really don't know why it didn't dawn on me the first time I checked the registry. Being a windows developer myself I should have remember the WOW factor ... it's caught me out a few times when authoring WiX installer scripts.
