Why are my Red Giant legacy plugins not appearing in the host they were installed for?

The main reason a Red Giant legacy plugin would not appear in the host you're installing it for is because your system is outside the scope of what the plugin was last engineered for.

This typically means either:

• The host version is not compatible with the plugin (e.g. Adobe versions from this year)
• The hardware not compatible with the plugin (e.g. an Apple Silicon Mac is not compatible with older plugin).

If either of these scenarios apply to you, the only way to resolve this issue is to either:

• Revert to a setup that's compatible with your older plugins. For a list of what your old plugins were last compatible with, visit the Legacy FAQ section and locate your older plugin or suite version.
• Upgrade into the latest versions of the plugins. Many of the latest plugins are backwards-compatible, meaning they can import the work done with their previous versions into the latest versions. If you'd like to test them out before upgrading, feel free to save a copy of your work, then install a trial to see if they operate to your liking.
