Is it possible to install Boris Graffiti on AVID Studio or Pinnacle Studio, without possessing Studio 12 ?

Initally published on 11 July 2011, we have updated this article with a small note for Studio 17 users and Studio 15/16 users, please see below (for AVID Studio, the install process is still the same than before). If you still own Studio 12 and its DVD, please refer to: Transfer into Avid Studio your old plugins still functional

The answer is yes, definitely ! When Studio 17, 14/15/16 and AVID Studio has been launched, some users who did not have Studio 12 ULTIMATE was wondering if they can also benefit of this great tool. All previous users of Studio 12 Ultimate well know Boris Graffiti (which is included with Studio 12 ULTIMATE version). You also know that we have dedicated one full page to Boris Graffiti, as well as a page with high quality tutorials.

Special note for Pinnacle Studio 17 and Studio 15/16 users: when you install Graffiti, it should ask you to confirm the directory in which Graffiti will write files; it will at least if you choose the 'Custom' option, instead of the 'Complete' option.  When the installer asks you to confirm where to install the Studio plugins, point the installer to C:\Program Files (x86)\Avid\Studio 15\plugins\RTFx for Studio 15, and C:\Program Files (x86)\Pinnacle\Studio 16\plugins\RTFx for Studio 16 and C:\Program Files (x86)\Pinnacle\Studio 17\plugins\RTFx for Studio 17

Note that if you have Studio 14 also installed, you could copy/re-locate the Graffiti plugin file(s) from the 14 RTFx folder (BorisFXUI.fex and BorisGraffitiUI.xml).
