Installation
How to install Ditheron on Windows and macOS for DaVinci Resolve and After Effects.
Installation
Ditheron ships as a standard installer for each platform. The whole process takes about a minute.
Windows
- Download the installer from your account page or the link in your confirmation email
- Close your host application (DaVinci Resolve or After Effects) completely
- Run the installer — it will place the plugin in the correct system folder automatically
- Open your host application. Ditheron will appear in the effects panel.
DaVinci Resolve location: Effects Library > OpenFX > Stylize > Ditheron
After Effects location: Effect > EZscape > Ditheron
The installer clears the plugin cache automatically so your host app picks up Ditheron on the next launch.
macOS
- Download the
.pkginstaller from your account page - Close your host application completely
- Double-click the
.pkgfile and follow the prompts - If macOS asks about permissions, click "Open Anyway" in System Settings > Privacy & Security
- Open your host application. Ditheron will appear in the effects panel.
