● Click
the
Import
button.
● After
the
plugin
is
imported,
you
may
be
prompted
to
take
further
steps
in
order
to
authorize
it
for
use
on
the
V-­‐Machine.
For
details
on
how
the
authorization
process
works,
see

If
the
plugin
you
are
attempting
to
import
is
known
to
the
current
VFX
Application
database,
it
will
appear
automatically
in
the
Wizard
File
selection
menu.
If
the
plugin
you
are
attempting
to
import
is
not
included
in
the
database,
you
can
check
for
Wizard
File
updates
on
the
Internet
by
clicking
the
“Check
for
Wizard
Updates”
button.
The
Wizard
database
is
updated
often,
adding
support
for
more
and
more
plugins
over
time.
To
learn
which
plugins
currently
have
Wizard
Files,
you
can
consult
the
SM
Pro
Audio
website
here
http://www.smproaudio.com/index.php/en/service/wizard-­‐file-­‐database
If
a
Wizard
File
is
not
available,
there
are
several
options:
● Attempt
to
import
the
plugin
without
a
Wizard
File
by
choosing
“File>”
in
the
Wizard
File
drop-­‐down
menu.
Some
plugins
may
work
without
a
Wizard
File.
● Attempt
to
write
your
own
custom
Wizard
File.
This
is
not
a
simple
process.
The
file
itself
is
a
plain
text
file,
so
it
can
be
created
in
any
text
editor
program,
but
the
codes
in
the
file
have
special
meanings
● Find
an
appropriate
custom
Wizard
File
by
checking
with
other
users
on
Internet
forums.
If
none
of
the
above
methods
is
successful,
you
won’t
be
able
to
import
the
plugin.

More
About
Wizard
Files
(Plugin
Information
File
“.vfxwizard”)
Some
plugins
can
be
installed
on
your
computer
and
successfully
synchronized
to
the
V-­‐
Machine
without
the
need
for
a
Plugin
Information
Wizard
File
(.vfxwizard).
However,
other
plug-­‐ins
may
have
additional
files,
folders,
and
Windows
Registry
settings
that
are
required
to
ensure
successful
operation.
A
Plugin
Wizard
File
is
a
text
file
that
describes
all
additional
information
required
by
a
plugin
to
import
and
operate
on
the
VXF
Application
and
V-­‐Machine
hardware.
Wizard
Files
provide
compatibility
for
plugins
that
otherwise
would
not
function
on
a
standalone
host.
Wizard
Files
are
needed
by
the
V-­‐Machine
to
load
plugins
and
associated
files,
samples,
Registry
entries,
and
other
requirements
when
a
plugin
is
used
outside
of
Windows.
Wizard
Files
are
more
important
for
allowing
the
V-­‐Machine
hardware
to
operate
successfully
after
synchronization
or
the
exporting
of
a
Library
than
for
the
VFX
Application
operation
itself.
This
is
because
Windows
applications
like
the
VFX
Application
know
how
to
handle
the
plugin
if
it
was
originally
installed
to
the
system
with
its
own
installation
program.
A
database
of
commonly
requested
Plugin
Wizard
Files
is
maintained
in
the
SM
Pro
Audio
website
for
users
to
download.
The
list
of
available
Wizard
Files
is
growing
rapidly.
