Installation
Red Giant Warp comes packaged as a complete software installer. You must have installed one of the host applications: Adobe After Effects (7.0, CS3, CS4); Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3, CS4) for Mac OS X (CS4) and Windows XP/Vista; Apple Final Cut Pro (6.02 and later); Apple Motion for Mac OS X; and Avid AVX2 systems. The installer will automatically place the required components on your hard drive and guide you through the process of installing the plug-in.
