I. getting INSTALLED ... / IMPORTANT / Contents / Deinstall

...installation is easy - just start our installation by starting the Setup.exe file.

IMPORTANT: you need two dll - files on your Windows system. The files are:

  • msvcrt.dll
  • mfc42.dll

They are located at: x:\windows\system (NT: x:\winnt\system32).

Normally, they should be installed, otherwise you need to download them from our Homepage (www.infinity-plugins.de). Copy them into the directories described above.

For users of the old Version 2.0 (aka "Add ons zu Premiere 4.2"); to get your system ready for best use of our new version do the following:

  • start the Modul Manager
  • move all plugins to active ("installed") mode
  • delete the directory x:\..\premiere\charisma
  • delete the directories x:\..\premiere\ZSModule\neue_mod und orig_mod

After starting SETUP it searches for an existing installed version of Adobe Premiere (NOTE: Our plugins only work with the full verion, not with the LE or other TryOut versions). If it finds one, you may still change the path (if you have installed more than one version of Premiere). If it doesen`t find any version, you may enter the path manually.

A menue with information about the components appears. The space necessary depends on how many plugins you have already installed (because our Pluginmanger needs a backup-copy of all plugins). Normally about 3 MB are needed.

If you`re ready, just click the INSTALL button.

The installation will create several new subdirectories withiin your PREMIERE directory (such as Infinity). It will also create an infinity.ini file in your windows directory. To provide the PluginManager with copies of all plugins there are two new subdirectories created in your PLUG-INS directory: NEW_PLUG and ORG_PLUG. NOTE: None of your files (including plugins) will ever be deleted by our software! All original plugins from your systems will stay in the new directory (ORG_PLUG).

Another check box pops up and informs you about this copying process. If you don`t trust us, you may still abort the installation. Otherwise continue.

Here`s what Setup installs on your system & where to find it:

LOCATION of IP Files:

Path Contents
x:\...\premiere\infinity PluginManager, infinity.int, Deinstall & text documents
x:\...\premiere\infinity\masks Masks (jpg`s in 720x540 pixel format)
x:\...\premiere\infinty\projects Effect Projects & material
x:\...\premiere\plug-ins Installed Plugins
x:\...\premiere\plug-ins\new_plug New Plugins (Infinity Plugins)
x:\...\premiere\plug-ins\org_plug Default Plugins of Premiere (Backup Copy)
x:\...\premiere\infinity\manual This Manual in html (manual.htm)

NOTE: The infinity.ini file (x:\windows, NT: x:\winnt) sets the path for all our components. If you ever change the path of Premiere, you also need to change it in the infinity.ini. Otherwise, the PluginManager and our plugins won`t work properly. Here`s the list of definitions in the first lines of our ini-file:

[Setuptool]
Pfad=f:\premiere\
- Path of Premiere
Modulpfad=f:\Premiere\Plug-ins - Path of Plugins

Only the last installation works for all components - if you want to use the Plugins in more than one version of Premiere you have to copy them manually into the appropiate Plugin folder in your Premiere directory.

Deinstall:

If you want to deinstall our components, start Deinstall (you will find it in x:\..\premiere\infinity). It removes all files (excluding the deinstall file) and reorganizes your existing plugins.
