How to Download the Plugins
To use Dashwood's plugins, you're going to have to install FxFactory -- an app store of visual and audio plugins for video software -- on your Mac. Unfortunately, it will only work if you're running Sierra or El Capitan. Once FxFactory is installed, use the app's search function to look for "Dashwood".
