Unlock your scenes

Bought from RexAffects? Sign in with your purchase email. That's it. (Bought on Gumroad before? Same email: those purchases are already on your account.)

Every scene in Plugin Player plays for free. A scene you don't own has a watermark on full-screen output (the projector, the second screen and the Spout feed). An unlocked scene plays clean: no watermark anywhere.

This is part of the beta. If your header has no STORE tab and no ACCOUNT button, your build doesn't have it switched on yet, and every scene just plays. If the unlock screen says "Sign-in opens with the RexAffects store, very soon", the store isn't open in your build yet.

Free scenes

• Cube Bloom is free in Plugin Player, for good. Its tag says FREE. Want it in Resolume, on your MIDI board? Its row in the store panel has Get the Resolume plugin · $30: the same checkout as a scene, and the download link shows up right there once you've paid (and comes by email).

Find the store

The STORE tab next to PERFORM / MAP / CONTROLS is the shop. Top right of the Plugin Player window there's a button that says ACCOUNT: that's you. Signed out it says ACCOUNT SIGN IN, signed in it says how many are unlocked, e.g. ACCOUNT 2/8 OWNED. Click either one and a panel opens (the show keeps playing behind it).

Click any scene in the panel (a picture in the STORE tab, or a name under YOUR SCENES) and it starts playing in the monitor, with the panel still open, so you can see exactly what you're buying. While you're filling a PICK 3 or PICK 5, a click puts the scene in your pack instead; hover the picture and click ▶ PLAY to watch it.

The panel has:

• at the very top, once you're signed in: Signed in as your email, what is unlocked, and SIGN OUT (click it twice, the second click confirms),
• bought as a guest (no sign-in)? It says Guest and what you have: your scenes are on this computer only, and SIGN IN with your purchase email keeps them on your account,
• three tabs, ACCOUNT, LIBRARY and STORE,
• YOUR SCENES: every scene with OWNED, TRIAL or FREE ("from your RexAffects account", "Free in Plugin Player"), and on an unlocked scene Get the Resolume plugin,
• Go to the STORE: you buy right here, in the app. Checkout opens in your browser and the scene unlocks by itself.

Press Esc or the × to close it.

Sign in

1. Click ACCOUNT, type the email you bought with, click SEND CODE.
2. We email you a 6-digit code. Type it in the box that appears and click VERIFY.
3. Every scene on your account unlocks on this computer at once, no restart.

The code works for 15 minutes and only once; check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive within a minute, or click SEND A NEW CODE. Your account works on up to 2 computers. On a 3rd, Plugin Player says "You're signed in on 2 computers already. Remove one to use this one." and lists the other two with REMOVE <name> next to each: pick one and this computer signs in instead. Once you're signed in, the ACCOUNT tab lists COMPUTERS ON THIS ACCOUNT: Remove this computer (click twice) on this one, Remove on the other.

Buy a scene, or a pack

A scene that has the watermark and is for sale has a BUY · $30 button (Goop and Flashpoint are BUY · $50) in the SCENE panel and on its row in the unlock screen. It opens the STORE: EVERYTHING (every scene available today, Flashpoint and Goop too; the store shows today's price), PICK 3 ($75) or PICK 5 ($100) (click a scene or drag it into a slot), or that scene alone. Every scene comes with its Resolume plugin, no extra cost.

1. Click CHECKOUT. A secure Stripe checkout opens in your web browser, and the unlock screen says WAITING FOR YOUR PURCHASE… (Closed the checkout without paying? Click Cancel · I closed the checkout under the waiting line.)
2. Pay there. With Plugin Player open, within seconds the unlock screen says THANK YOU! and your scenes play clean, right away, no restart. Closed it? They unlock by themselves the next time you open it (online, within a day of buying). Not unlocked? ACCOUNT › SIGN IN with the email you paid with. You're signed in with the email you paid with.
3. Your Resolume plugin links come by email, and are in your LIBRARY: every purchase, with what you paid, the date, the order number and its plugin downloads. Also under Get the Resolume plugin on each unlocked scene.

Bought as a guest and you've bought from us before? Sign in with your email once and your other purchases come back on this computer too.

Pixel Advection: the scene unlocks as soon as you buy it. Its Resolume plugin is coming end of November: we'll email you when it's ready (the unlock screen says so on its row).

Changed your mind? CANCEL stops the waiting; nothing is charged unless you finish the checkout. If you paid but the app stopped waiting (it waits 20 minutes, or you closed it), nothing is lost: sign in with your purchase email.

Already own the plugin?

Bought a RexAffects Resolume plugin before, or got one as a member reward? You can unlock its scene with the plugin file.

1. Click STORE (or BUY on the scene). Under the scene's BUY line there's a box. Signed out it says Already own this plugin? Log in and drop it here with a SIGN IN button: sign in with the email you bought it with (or your membership email). Signed in it says Already own this Resolume plugin?
2. Drag your plugin file onto it, or click the box and choose the file. It's the file ending in .cwired, e.g. VJA - Corridor Panels v1.13.cwired (any version you got from us works; renaming it is fine).
3. Unlocked ✓ Corridor Panels is yours. The scene plays clean right away, no restart, on your account for good.

Plugin Player never uploads your file. It reads it on your computer and sends the store only a fingerprint of it. You need to be signed in: if you aren't, the box says Sign in first; sign in with your email code and the file you dropped unlocks right after. Dropped the plugin of a different scene? It unlocks that one and tells you which.

Blob Tracking and Blob Melt are one scene here. Own either plugin and Blob Tracking v3 unlocks. It unlocks the scene, not the other plugin for Resolume.

Already bought a plugin on Gumroad? Three ways to prove it (easiest first)

1. Sign in with the same email you used on Gumroad. Your purchase is already on file, so it unlocks by itself. Nothing else to do.
2. Used a different email on Gumroad? Under the drop box, click Bought with a different email? Link it, type your Gumroad email, and enter the 6-digit code we send there. Your Gumroad purchases then belong to the account you're signed in with.
3. Paste your Gumroad licence key (below).

Where to find your Gumroad licence key

• Your Gumroad receipt email: search your inbox for "gumroad" plus the plugin's name. The receipt shows a License key (a code like 1A2B3C4D-…). Copy the whole code.
• Or your Gumroad library: go to gumroad.com/library, sign in with the email you bought with, open the plugin, and the licence key is shown on its page.
• Each key unlocks once, for one account.

Fluid scenes (Goop, Flashpoint, the smoke scene) aren't part of any membership. They unlock only with a purchase: one of the three ways above, or buying them in the app.

Bought on Gumroad with a different email?

Under the drop box, click Bought on Gumroad with a different email? Unlock with your licence key. Paste the licence key from your Gumroad receipt or library and click UNLOCK. You need to be signed in (if you aren't, sign in and it unlocks right after). The key links that purchase to your account, once.

Bought with a different email?

Under the licence-key line, click Bought with a different email? Link it. Type that other email and click SEND CODE; we email a 6-digit code to it. Type the code and click LINK: what that email bought joins the account you're signed in with (Linked ✓ and the scene names), and plays clean right away.

The monthly free-scene email

Under SEND CODE there's a box: Email me the free scene each month (unsubscribe any time), ticked unless you untick it. Once you're signed in, the ACCOUNT tab says Monthly free-scene email: ON (or OFF) with a button to change it. Every email has an unsubscribe link too.

Plugin Player may ask for your email at two moments, never in your first minutes with it: after you save your first preset or show, and once a month when there's a free scene of the month. NOT NOW keeps it quiet.

When a scene you don't own starts showing on your projector, recording or full screen, a small line at the bottom right of the operator window says so: "Frame Stack is in 720p with a watermark on your big screen · Own it: 1080p, no watermark · $30" with BUY · $30 (the checkout opens right away) and See all scenes. Once per scene; it never shows on the projector picture. The STORE tab at the top (next to PERFORM / MAP / CONTROLS) opens the store too.

A watermark on an unlocked scene? Then it comes from Goop, the fluid feedback effect in the FX channel, which is sold on its own: it isn't a glitch and your scene is fine. While it's on your output, a small slowly pulsing line at the bottom right of the operator window says so: "Watermark is from GOOP, not your scene", with TURN OFF (the effect goes off at once, and the watermark with it), BUY · $50 (opens Goop in the store) and the controller's way to do it, for example CONTROLLER: PS THEN PRESS △. It goes away the moment the effect does, and never shows on the projector, Spout or a recording. The fluid built into an unlocked scene (Cube Stack's △, say) is yours and never marks it.

How you can tell

• Owned scenes have an orange OWNED tag on their tile and in the SCENE panel. Free scenes say FREE. A scene that is not on the store yet says Still in testing · Coming soon: it plays like any trial scene, and there is nothing to buy yet. Trial scenes have no tag.
• A trial scene has a watermark on full-screen output: Plugin Player · preview / Unlock in the STORE tab · 1080p, no watermark. Owned scenes never show it.
• Buy a scene while it's on your projector and the watermark goes and the picture steps up to 1080p as soon as the payment lands, with the show still running: no restart, no black frame.

Good to know

• No internet at the gig? Fine. Plugin Player checks in with the store when it starts and every few hours, and keeps your scenes unlocked for 30 days without going online. Past 30 days offline, the watermark comes back until you connect again ("offline more than 30 days: connect once to unlock again"). Nothing is lost. For the last 5 days a line at the top of the app window says so and counts down; it never shows on your output or in Spout.
• Refunded a purchase? That scene goes back to showing the watermark the next time Plugin Player is online.
• New computer? Sign in there too (up to 2 computers; remove an old one from the ACCOUNT tab).
• Sign out signs this computer out of your account. Sign in again any time.
• Plugin Player never shows your sign-in code back, and "Copy support info" never includes your email.
