Why are my plug-ins not showing up in Final Cut Pro?
A common support question lately from Final Cut Pro users is "Why are my plug-ins not showing up!" It is usually because they are trying to access a non-Universal plug-in inside the Universal Final Cut Pro.
There is an easy work around: Boot Final Cut in Rosetta mode. To do this, highlight the Final Cut application icon, and get info (command+I). There you can select a box called "Open using Rosetta." Then when they boot FCP, it will open in Rosetta, and their non-universal plug-ins will work.
