Last updated: October 27, 2007

To download and install:

1. Make sure you have Shake 2.50.0810 or greater on Mac OS X.
2. Check which version of Shake you have and download the appropriate installer:
   Sapphire 2.03 Mac installer for Shake 4.1 (Universal, 11 Mb)
   Sapphire 2.02 Mac installer for Shake 4.0 (9 Mb)

        Use Sapphire version 1 for older versions of Shake (5 Mb):
        Sapphire 1.06 Mac installer for Shake 3.5
        Sapphire 1.02 Mac installer for Shake 3.01
        Sapphire 1.01 Mac installer for Shake 3.0
        Sapphire 1.01 Mac installer for Shake 2.5
        These will put a Stuffit archive into your download folder as configured on your Mac.

3. Follow the instructions given by the installer. When it asks for your username and password, just enter your Mac user login password. If you have multiple versions of Shake installed, check only the Shake directories that match the installer version you selected above.
4. Restart your Shake.

To load a plug-in, click on the GenArts tool tab in the tool menu, and a menu of all Sapphire Plug-ins should appear. You can use a plug-in just like any other effect. The Sapphire wipe and dissolve transition effects also appear in the mix menu of the standard Shake transition node.

To access the on-line documentation in HTML format while using any plug-in, just click on the Help button in its parameters page. You can also go to the Applications folder on your Mac, double click on GenArtsSapphireShake, and select View Online Documentation.
