Twixtor 5 Sparks Installation Notes

Note that the documentation for use of the plugin is in the revisionfx folder. The sparks plugins themselves are in the revisionfx directory as well. You should copy the revisionfx directory to where ever your Sparks directory is located (by default, the directory is /usr/discreet/sparks ). So you should execute a command such as:

cp -r revisionfx /usr/discreet/sparks //put appropriate path

If you are not trying out the demo version, you should have received registration keys. Without the proper registration key, program will draw an X on output. The license making program writes a file to /usr/local/revision and has a filename of the form: ProductName.HostId. You will want to run the 'maketwixtorlic' program from a root log in. Run the licensing making program as such:

./maketwixtorlic "username in quote" registration_key hostid
e.g.: ./maketwixtorlic "Sparky LaFlamme" qjsjsdj123a88d3 00345a2721a4

Permission problems troubleshooting:

make sure /usr/local/revision has general read and write permissions.
ls -lR /usr/local/revision
both revision and the license file should have rw_ permissions for all

The plugin has been renamed so you can keep the old version as well. If you are a system person, please tell your users that there is an html document where ever you copied the revisionfx directory.

NOTE: In the process of going 64 bit the TWIXTOR 4.5 version got a number of intermediate updates, you might have old projects that reference Twixtor 4.5.3 etc and this is Twixtor 5. In general you should be able to rename to Twixtor.spark_x86_64 for forward compatibility.
