AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis FxPlug effect is part of Red Giant Universe and is not separately updatable through the App Store or a standalone installer. To get a native Apple Silicon build, you need to update Red Giant Universe itself using Red Giant's Maxon application launcher or the standalone installer from Red Giant's website. First check your current Universe installation: in Final Cut Pro, open the Effects Library, find the Universe effect, and note which version is installed. Then visit Red Giant's website and download the latest version of Universe for Mac — the installer will automatically detect your Mac's architecture and provide the native Apple Silicon build if available. After installing, Final Cut Pro will automatically recognise and load the updated, native version of the plugin. If you are unsure whether Red Giant has shipped a native Universe build yet, check their website or contact their support team directly; since Rosetta 2 will be removed in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is worth confirming native support is available before that deadline.
