3rd Party plugins folder was created before Avid had AVX. It enables you to
use Photoshop filters from 2.x and earlier. Many of them did not work and
some of the render times were brutal. If you look in the archives, you may
find info about some of them. I used them a little, prior to AVX, but they
often crashed the computer.
After a certain point, around 2.0 Photoshop, Adobe changed the way PS
plugins worked and didn't let anyone else have access to them. If you put
these early PS filters in the 3rd party folder, they will show up in your
Effects Palette. Using them usually sends the UI over to the UI of the
actual plug in instead of using the Effects Tool UI. Good luck scrounging up
old PS filters. They're getting rarer and rarer.
