There are two files:

•Exporter7th.prm

•Importer7th.prm

Place these in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore. Admin privileges are required to write to this folder.

To test if the importer plugin has loaded correctly, run Adobe Media Encoder and browse to a folder with .7th or .sth files (RGB or YCbCr 4:2:2) and thumbnails should appear in the Media Browser window. To test if the exporter plugin has loaded correctly, run Adobe Media Encoder and create a new export job – the new exporter should be present under the title ‘7thSense’. If installing over an existing plugin, preferences may not display correctly. Delete the Adobe Media Encoder preferences file (typically under Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\[VERSION]\Presets\PresetTree.xml) and restart Media Encoder.

There are two installers:

•Exporter7th.bundle

•importer7th.bundle

Copy these to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore. Admin privileges are required to write to this folder.

If these subfolders do not exist, just create them.
