How does one import VD filters into movie edit pro 2016? It wont recognize them and I put them everywhere I thought they should go...

PC SPECS:

Intel i7 5700hq

16GB DDR3L

1TB 7200rpm HDD and 128GB SSD

Nvidia 970M

Windows 10 version 1511

You can either:

Put the plugins in one of the two paths shown in the image below

OR
Put the VDF files into a folder of you choosing and then add the folder path to the plugins setting as shown below ( 1 - 3)

I would recommend the second option.

However there are a couple of gotchas:

The plugins must be 64 bit to appear in the list, otherwise you get this error message
Not all Virtual Dub plugins work with MEP.

I actually tried that path and it didn't work for me. I am trying to use the effect package of VD filters magix provides for MEP 2013 for this too

If the VD filters are not appearing then they are 32 bit, the MEP 2013 filters are definitely 32 bit.

As I said perviously - the plugins must be 64 bit versions to work with MEP 2016 (MEP 2015 as well).

I have done some more digging on the use of VD plugins and can find a few that are 64 bit however AFAICS are not of much use in MEP.
