fusion:EFFECTS Mac Installation

Thank you for purchasing Opcode's fusion plug-ins. These plug-ins work 
with applications that support Adobe Premiere, Digidesign AudioSuite 
or Steinberg Vst plugin formats, including:

* Opcode's Vision
* Opcode's Studio Vision
* SteinbergÕs Cubase Vst
* EmagicÕs Logic Audio
* Macromedia's Deck II
* Digidesign Pro Tools
* Bias' Peak
* Mark of the Unicorn's Digital Performer 2.1
   plus many others.

Each of these applications requires a slightly different installation, 
which the fusion installer will manage for you.

YouÕll find these plug-ins on the CD:
Abode Premiere format:- Vocode, Vinyl & Filter.
Vst format:- Filter, Vinyl, opPLUGS.
AudioSuite:- Vocode, Vinyl & Filter.

When you first try to use each plug-in you will be asked to enter a 
serial number. If you donÕt have the serial number for the plug-in you 
are launching you will still be able to use it in demo mode.


Easy Install 
- This will install the Premiere & Vst compatible plug-ins.

1. Insert your fusion CD
2. Double-click the Installer
3. In the dialog box that appears, select the Easy Install option.

This step will also update earlier versions of fusion plug-ins. 

Because Vst compatible applications will all have their own plug-ins 
Folder, this installer will create a folder called Vst plugins in the 
Opcode folder. If you donÕt already have an Opcode folder this installer 
will create one, and will place it on the top-level of your 
startup hard disk. Once the installation is complete, simply drag the 
contents of the Vst plugins folder into the Vstplugins folder of the 
application you wish to use them with. If you have more than one 
application that supports Vst plugins feel free to option+drag 
copy the files into the respective plugin folders.

The installer also creates several other files and folders on your 
hard drive, some of which may already exist. 

Startup Drive (hard disk)
	   Opcode folder
						Filter Documentation
						Vinyl Documentation
						Vocode Documentation
						opPLUGS Documentation

If it doesnÕt already exist, the installer puts an Opcode Folder 
in the Extensions Folder of your System Folder. In this folder, the 
installer places an Audio plug-ins folder, in which it creates a 
separate folder for each fusion plugin. A plugin library will be 
installed in the Opcode Folder at the same level as the Audio plug-ins 
folder.

Custom Installations
-Installing fusion plug-ins for non-Opcode Premiere-based Applications

If you wish to use fusion plug-ins with a Premiere compatible application 
other than Vision or Studio Vision, you'll need to install them in the host 
application's plug-in folder. To do so:

1. First, perform an Easy Install as discussed previously.

2. After completing the Easy Install, choose the Custom Install option.

At this point you will see multiple selections. To install for a non 
Opcode application, check the appropriate checkbox and click on install. 
The installer will install Adobe Acrobat manuals in the Opcode 
folder at the top level on your startup drive as mentioned above. 
It will then display a standard Macintosh file dialog. At his point, 
you must select the plugin folder for the application you are installing 
for. When you have done this, the installer will install a copy of 
the fusion plug-ins you are installing in the chosen application's plugin 
folder.  
You must repeat this process for each application. The fusion plug-ins 
will then be accessible in the application through its normal plugin 
processing. Note, that fusion plug-ins rely on the correct folders having been 
installed by Easy Install. It will not work if Easy Install has not been run.

-Installing fusion plug-ins for AudioSuite-based Applications

If you wish to use fusion plug-ins with an AudioSuite based application, 
you'll need to install the AudioSuite versions in the plug-ins folder in 
the DAE Folder in the System Folder.

System Folder
	    DAE Folder
		      DAE
	      	Plugin Settings
		      Plug-ins
										Filter.AS
										Vocode.AS
										Vinyl.AS

There are two ways to do this:

Method #1: If you select Custom install, you will see that there are two 
installers for AudioSuite applications. One relies on performing an Easy 
Install as discussed previously, and then installs AudioSuite plug-ins 
separately. To use this installer, complete the Easy Install, and then 
choose the Install AudioSuite installer on the fusion CD. 

Method #2: There is a separate installer that will install both the 
Premiere and AudioSuite versions at the same time. If you chose this 
option, there is no need to run Easy Install.

QuickTime 2.5 or greater is required to view the Adobe Acrobat 
on-line manual. QuickTime 2.5 is included as a custom installation 
option in the installer but weÕve also included QuickTime 3.0 on the CD

Thanks for purchasing Opcode....have fun.
