Thanks Jack. Needs to be installed in the en_US folder for it to work. Also your graphics card has to supprt Open GL renders.

PS. Jack... I've started the Bring back the baby avatar!!!! campaign.

Thanks, Jack.

There is also a tutorial (for After Effects) that may be of help with other apps as well: http://www.borisfx.com/tutorials/glitter.php

Is this only for After effects? or can it be used in other software (like PE3)

[Paul LS]

You can install it in PE3 but you have to direct it to the en_US plugins folder.

What does this filter do?

[mark hansen]

When I installed it during installation, I became visible under Video effects... good. But when applied to a clip, I get (on the screen) "Filter Disabled, Please click the Test OpenGL HW button in the Options for more information"

I haven't a clue where to do that...

You actually gave them your phone number?

[Paul LS]

You actually gave them your phone number?

... no, the phone number of Pizza Hut.

The error, it means your video card does support the plug-in. The Test OpenGL HW button is found by clicking the icon to the right of the effect name in the effects properties panel.

Thanks for the information... Rats again...

Well, I finally got around to downloading it myself...

Strange thing is, it runs on my laptop with Nvidia Quadro FX 1600M (512 MB shared) but not on my desktop with ATI Radeon HD3850 (1GB dedicated). In spite of the fact that the HD3850 is newer tech by about 8 months, and has 4x the onboard video memory, Glitter just doesn't seem to want to run on the ATI card... both are OpenGL 2.0...

I'll check further in the days ahead to try to figure it out.

Paul, I hear the roar of the masses, and I'm trying to decide which pic to put up. The old one was from almost a year ago and he has grown quite a bit since then. He's now 18 months old and getting into everything.

Thanks Jack. Needs to be installed in the en_US folder for it to work.

Okay, for whatever reason it worked as installed on the laptop, but on the desktop I had to copy & paste it from the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS3\Media Core\Boris Continuum Complete 5.0" folder to the en_US folder in Premiere Pro and now it works. Go figure.
