Default Media Composer Plugin Presets

Mildly off topic for the DUC but.....
Does anyone know where Media Composer puts its audio plugin presets folder?
I'm trying to send a set of presets for an Editor to try in his session.
Thanks.

Default Re: Media Composer Plugin Presets

On Windows 7 with MC 2019.12.12 and Windows 10 with MC 2020.9 the plugins are found in.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins (the same folder as Pro Tools uses)
The Plug-in Presets use My Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings\Plug-in Name

I do not have a Mac available with MC at present but I believe it would be the
same file path to the folder you save your presets to from Pro Tools on a Mac.

Andrew

Edit add I believe MC 8.4 was the first version this was available in.

Thanks Andrew.
So on Mac, I guess it would be in the Documents folder as for PT.
I'll check he has 8.4.
Its quite cool that we can use the same plugins now.
Someday we may have full integration between the 2 Avid products, but this is a start!

I already owned and operated both Avid editing and Pro Tools systems when Avid brought Digi-design. For me full integration became a highly desirable and seemingly achievable dream decades ago. Now seeing your "but this is a start!" ...............

It does kind of blow my mind that AVID owns both of these Editing systems and yet they can't make them work better together.

Instead we have to send aafs and printed stem comps back and forth.
