DaVinci Resolve / OFX Installation (macOS)
===========================================

This file covers DaVinci Resolve and other OFX hosts. Installing for Adobe
After Effects or Premiere Pro instead? See README_ADOBE.txt - that is a
separate plugin file installed to a different location.

AUTOMATIC INSTALL (Recommended):
1. Quit DaVinci Resolve completely
2. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
3. In Terminal, type the word  bash  followed by a single space
   (type "bash " - do not press Enter yet):

   bash

4. Open this "optics_reborn_v2_3_install_info" folder in Finder, then DRAG the file
   named "INSTALL.sh" from Finder onto the Terminal window. Terminal fills in the
   full path for you. The line should now look like:

   bash /path/to/optics_reborn_v2_3_install_info/INSTALL.sh

5. Press Enter and follow any prompts.
6. Launch DaVinci Resolve.

Why drag instead of a fixed path? If you have downloaded this effect before, your
browser may name this folder "optics_reborn_v2_3 2" (or "3", ...). Dragging the actual
INSTALL.sh guarantees you install THIS download, not an older one. The installer
finds its bundle automatically - no need to point at the .ofx.bundle yourself.

MANUAL INSTALL:
1. Quit DaVinci Resolve completely
2. Drag optics_reborn_v2_3.ofx.bundle to: /Library/OFX/Plugins/
   (You'll find it in ~/Downloads/optics_reborn_v2_3/optics_reborn_v2_3.ofx.bundle)
3. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
4. Copy these commands and paste them into Terminal to clear Resolve's caches:

   rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Blackmagic\ Design/DaVinci\ Resolve/OFXPluginCacheV2.xml
   rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.blackmagic-design.DaVinciResolve/Cache.db*

5. Press Enter
6. Launch DaVinci Resolve

If the plugin doesn't appear after installation, restart DaVinci Resolve.
