Loading a Sparks Plug-in

On the desktop, you can load up to five Sparks at one time. When loading Sparks through Batch, you can load any number of Sparks. See Sparks Node.

To load a Sparks plug-in on the desktop:

1. From the Main menu, click Effects.
2. From the Effects menu, click one of the Sparks buttons. An L on the button indicates that you can load a Sparks plug-in.

   The file browser appears.

3. Navigate to usr/discreet/sparks.

   You can also load Sparks from usr/discreet/<product home>/sparks.

4. Select a Sparks plug-in.

   You are returned to the Effects menu and the name of the Sparks plug-in appears on the selected button. The L no longer appears on the button.

5. To exit the file browser without loading a plug-in, click EXIT Sparks Browser.
