Re-enabling the OpenFX Plugin in DaVinci Resolve

When the OFX plugin causes a problem or crashes DaVinci Resolve it gets blacklisted and Resolve won't appempt to load it anymore. Even if you re-install a plugin or install a different version of the plugin.

In order to load the plugin again we need to tell Resolve to do so. Go to Preferences and Video Plugins section:

Re-enable OpenFX Plugins

Tick the checkbox next to the plugin, click Save and restart DaVinci Resolve. The plugin will be loaded on startup.
