Installing a OFX Plugin

PostWed Aug 22, 2018 8:30 pm

Hello! Total noob here. I am looking to install the YADIF plugin into Davinci 15 to de-interlace some footage. However, I have run into a wall on how to install plugins on my Mac. I finally got the OFX folder in my system library to appear. But when I move the plugin there, it is not showing up in Davinci even though the False Color plugin I installed is showing.

two things:
For OFX you need studio version.
Why do you need a deinterlace plugin? Resolve studio has high quality deinterlace.

Thanks for the response!

Are you sure I need the studio version to download an OFX plugin? I seemed to have been able to install the False Color Plugin.

And unfortunately, I don't have the Studio version (I'm a poor boy) to use the built in deinterlace feature.

Great to hear! So then I guess my question is why I am having such a struggle getting this YADIF plugin to work. I can't seem to find any useful step by step guides on how to make it happen...

Not all OFX plus-ins work in Resolve, not even in the Studio version. Mocha Pro OFX, for example, crashes the whole program immediately.
My disaster protection: export a .drp file to a physically separated storage regularly.

Re: Installing a OFX Plugin - Mocha Pro

Both the Mocha Pro 5.6 and now Mocha Pro 2019 crashed as soon as I applied the effect on a node in both the Color workspace as well as the Fusion workspace in Resolve 15.
