Mostly, nothing happens - not seeing the usual error message you get when the plugin is missing but no clips arrive in the bin. If I quit, log out of the student account, log in as admin and relaunch MC, the plugins work. If I then log out and log back in with student (non-admin) account, they work as normal. Done this on half the machines with all the plug-ins so far to work around the issue.

Saying AMA plugins don't work - what is the problem? Do you get an error message? Or when you link nothing happens?

Sounds possible. Thanks. Also, I copied some plugins directly into the appropriate folder rather than installing but The QT plugin comes with the system so that one should work! All machines were cloned from a master image and that might be relevant. We have a new MacPro arriving so I might test from scratch with that.
With best wishes,Roger ShufflebottomThis is likely MacOSX Gatekeeper weirdness going on under the hood. You'll note some applications throw up a dialog box that needs to be clicked as "trusted" the first time it's launched. A non-admin user would not have permission to decide this. I know plug ins are not apps, but I would guess the installer needs to set permissions correctly to avoid the problems you are having on first use. That would be the domain of the developer. I would recommend you contact the plugin developer about the issue, as well as Avid, so they can work through the issue.

I made sure I ran up each system when logged in as administrator befroe letting the students loose (they have a regular, non-admin account) but I didn't check every single feature. I'm finding that some of the AMA plugins don't work when a non-admin user is working. If I log in as admin, the plug-in works as normal (had this with AVCD and regular QuickTime). Loging back in as a normal user and the plugins work - I'm sure I've never needed to check and test each and every plugin before (but we weren't on this OS or MC version last year). Anyone?
