Macos – Location for 3rd Party Plug-In in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

Depending on your operating system, you need to put the files here:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-Ins\CS6\MediaCore\

• OS X: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-Ins/CS6/MediaCore/

Copy them there, and don't forget to restart Premiere Pro to have them recognized.

For other versions Creative Cloud, the folder is not CS6 but 7.0.

There is a program called Cuda.zip that will unlock the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card in Adobe Premiere automatically. Cuda.zip can be downloaded from How to unlock your NVIDIA card for Premiere CC 2014, CC, CS6, CS5.5 and CS5 For Windows Users.

The Cuda.zip archive contains the following three files.

• cuda.bat
• Cuda Install Instructions.txt
• cuda_supported_cards.txt

The following instructions were copied from Cuda Install Instructions.txt
