INSTALLING PIPELINE SOFTWARE ON MAC OS X
Pipeline for Mac OS X consists of:
• Pipeline Plugin for Final Cut Pro and Episode | Episode Pro
• Pipeline Control
All components are installed, so that you can use the components as you want.
Pipeline Software for Mac OS X is distributed via the Web as a disk image file, and is also distributed on
the Pipeline CD as an installer package file.
When you download or open the Pipeline Software for Mac OS X dmg file with Safari, Mac OS X
automatically mounts the disk image (if necessary) and runs the installer. If you download a dmg file using
another Web browser, mount the file. Then, double-click it to run the installer.
You’ll be asked for an administrator name & password during installation. If you don’t have an
administrative account, you’ll need to obtain one in order to perform installation. You must restart Final
Cut Pro and Episode for the Pipeline plugin to work correctly.
