MANUAL INSTALLATION
After downloading the plugin, follow these steps to install it in to Final Cut Pro.
Navigate to your user folder on your mac. This is usually the username you use to sign in to your mac.
Double click on the Movies folder.
Double click on the Motion Templates folder.
Now you'll open the folder that matches the type of plugin you're trying to install. If it's a title plugin, open the title folder. If it's an effect effect plugin, you'll open the effect folder, etc.
Unzip the FILENAME.zip file that you downloaded in to this folder.
You should now see a folder named Emberdyn in this folder.
Now open final cut pro.

Check one of these locations depending on the type of plugin you have installed. You should find an Emberdyn category in one of these locations and inside of that category you should find the plugin you installed.
