My Plugins aren't appearing in Final Cut Pro

If your plugin appears as installed in the PFS Installer but you do not see the presets inside Final Cut Pro, the issue is often caused by active search filters inside the Final Cut Pro library browser.

In many cases, the plugin folder itself will appear, but the individual presets inside the folder may remain hidden due to active search settings.

Common Cause: Active Search Filters

Final Cut Pro library browsers include filtering options such as:

• 4K
• HDR
• Search text filters

If any of these filters are active, Final Cut Pro may temporarily hide presets that do not match the selected criteria.

How to Remove Search Filters

To clear the filters:

1. Open the affected library browser in Final Cut Pro
   • Titles
   • Effects
   • Generators
   • Transitions
2. Locate the search bar near the top of the browser
3. Click the magnifying glass icon inside the search field
4. Disable any active filters such as:
   • 4K
   • HDR
5. Remove any text currently entered into the search field

Once the filters have been cleared, the presets should reappear normally inside the plugin folder.

Additional Troubleshooting

If the presets still do not appear after clearing the filters:

• Restart Final Cut Pro
• Verify the plugin is installed in the correct library category
• Uninstall and reinstall the plugin through the PFS Installer
• Make sure your version of Final Cut Pro and macOS meet the plugin’s minimum system requirements
