Adobe After Effects / Premiere Pro Installation (macOS)
========================================================

This download contains optics_reborn_v2_3.plugin - the plugin for Adobe After
Effects and Premiere Pro. One file serves both applications.

TO INSTALL
  1. Quit After Effects and Premiere Pro completely.
  2. Open the install folder. It lives under the system Library, which Finder
     hides by default, so use the "Go to Folder" shortcut:
       - In Finder, press Shift-Command-G (or menu: Go > Go to Folder...).
       - Paste this exact path and press Return:
           /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/
       - The MediaCore folder opens.
  3. Drag optics_reborn_v2_3.plugin from the extracted download into that
     MediaCore folder. (If macOS asks, authenticate to allow the copy.)
  4. Launch After Effects or Premiere Pro. The effect appears in the Effects
     panel under "Academy VFX".

LICENSING
The effect renders with a watermark until this machine is licensed. Open the
effect's licensing controls in the Effect Controls panel and use "Download
License" (or "Check License" after a purchase) to activate. Licensing is per
machine and shared across hosts, so if you have already activated this effect
here in DaVinci Resolve or another host, it is licensed in Adobe too - no
re-activation needed.

Also use DaVinci Resolve or another OFX host? See README_OFX.txt - that is a
separate plugin file installed to a different location.
