Effect Panel Gone

I accidently deleted my effects panel in adobe premier pro. How can I get it back?

Open up the window menu, you should be able to reselect it.

Motion effects in effects panel gone

It seems like somehow the Motion effects in my effects panel have dissapeared.
Any one knows how to fix this? It's weird that it would even be possible to remove this function, since it's a frequently used tool.
I'm using Adobe Premiere CS5
Hope to hear from you guys...

I think i know what happend.
I clicked remove all effects on the timeline-clips.
But I still don't know the solution, any one?
When inserting a new clip, the motion button effect is back...

"Effects" panel empty/blank in CS6?

I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac OS 10.9.3. Every time I open Adobe Premiere Pro, regardless of the project, the Effects Panel (not the control panel) is empty/blank. There is nothing typed in the search field, and if I do type something or click a type filter icon, the side bar for that panel appears and changes sizes. Creating a new Bin does nothing. Importing Preset does nothing.
From another user account, the effects panel appears normal, so the problem is user specific. I've already had to create another user account from scratch last time I had a problem with the program (instant crash while loading in splash screen), and I really would like to avoid doing this again. I've deleted preferences manually and by starting the program holding Shift+Alt. I've emptied the cache. I've repaired permissions. Same problem persists.

Did things one at a time before, but this time I repaired permissions, then Trashed the 2 Premiere .com preference files and the Premiere and the PProHeadless (the one thing I did not delete before) folders in Preferences>Adobe in the User Library. Trashed the User>Documents>Adobe>Premiere Folder. Then I manually deleted all the Cache folders. Doing it all (or some combination) seemed to do the trick. Effects now show in the panel.

Photoshop launches help file when trying to access effects panel.

I have Photoshop CS6 and sometimes when I double click a layer to bring up the effects panel Photoshop launches the Help library instead with an error message saying I need to re install photoshop to access help???? Yet I was only trying to access the effects panel. The help pages are fine and I can flick through them no problem but when going back into Photoshop I can't click on anything after that and usually have to bring up task manager to end Photoshop. Any suggestions?
Secondly on some occasions when using a tool and it could be a brush or pen etc the section I'm working on completely disappears in a perfect square leaving the rest of my picture intact.
I'm not using large files either when this happens. I noticed the problem occurred after the last CS6 update.

If I uninstall and re install can I just uninstall Photoshop or do I have to uninstall the whole suite?
Gosh - any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Rosa

Adobe has been looking unsuccessfully for this problem literally for decades.
It appears sometimes to be related to the Layer Styles panel. I've personally seen it happen with every version of Photoshop I can remember using, though VERY infrequently. It's happened to me just twice or three times with Photoshop CS6 13.0.0, and not yet with 13.0.1.
There's no known workaround other than to fool with stuff until it just goes away. It may be that changing some of the configuration options or even returning Photoshop's preferences to out-of-box defaults can help. I've even seen cases where updating one's display driver works around it. Do you have ATI Catalyst 12.8?
If you have a sequence of activities you do in which it is reproducible on demand, then I'm sure Adobe would REALLY like to talk to you and get that information.

Effects Panel not working correctly

I have Windows 7 64 bit, Home Premium and using PSE9. When I open PSE in Full Edit and go to the Effects Panel, the Filters work just fine, but the Layer Styles will not open (or show anything) and the Photo Effects will not open ( or show anything). I did rename the MediaDatabase.db3 file as MediaDatabase.old, following instructions given in a PSE9 class I am taking....but have done nothing else with that file, and then is now a new MediaDatabase.db3 file under the "old" listing....so two files there.
I have no idea what to do to correct this....and I did close everything and close PSE and also my PC...let them rest a while, and then restarted the PC and reopened PSE9, and still the Layer Styles and Photo effects did not work. I hope someone can understand my problem and help....in simple "baby steps". Thanks

Should I delete the file named mediaDatabase.old? I am a senior
"dummie" and just want to be sure what you are telling me.
I did delete the editor's pref files....I understand that one.
Thanks for your help.

HELP please, missing the Thumbdatabase.db3 file; actions disappear from Effects Panel

I hope someone can help me, I'm totally frustrated and confused. Whenever I install a new action, previously installed actions disappear from the Effects Panel! Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it? Also, I have no ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the folder: Photoshop Elements 7.0/Locale/en_US Shouldn't it be there? Can anyone help me with both these issues? Thanks so much.

TexasErin, you have solved the whole problem!!!! You have me jumping for joy! I've been dealing with this for three days and ready to give up entirely, completely discouraged that no one seemed to know the cause or how to fix this "case of the disappearing actions"! (BTW, I found the missing ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the Photshop Elements\ 7.0 folder. But I had to click the 7 and completely open the folder to see it. It was not visible in the "tree" on the left side of the panel where all the drives/folers are displayed.)
Your answer completely nailed the issues and fixed them! Most helpful was your suggestion to paste actions directly into the Photo Effects folder, and NOT put actions into their own folders in Photo Effects. I made that mistake and had about 3 folders containing actions in Photo Effects. I got rid of them, pasted all the ATN, PNG and XMLs directly into Photo Effects. I deleted the MediaDatabase.db3, started PSE, and waited a minimum of 30 minutes for it rebuild.
That was another piece of very helpful advice you gave -- to wait unitl the rebuilding message disappears, cursor returns to normal, etc. Your entire answer was so clear and precise and right on target, I'm going to print it and hang it on my wall. Are you one of the Adobe Experts? You definitely sound like one, or should be considered one if not! I'm SO grateful, thanks a million!!!

I just reinstalled PSE 9 and now my edit effects panel doesn't work when I click on it. Help!

If anybody had this problem and has the solution, please share and I'll be a happy camper again. I have Window Vista. Thanks.

Hi,
When you are saying that the edit effect panel doesn't work, Do you mean there is nothing in the panel (It is an empty panel) or there are items but when clicked nothing is happening ?
Also, Is it the case with Edit Effect panel only or other panels are also behaving in same way ?

Premiere Elements 12 Effects-Panel not working

Hi there!
I've recently updated to Elements 12 (from 10) and I am more or less happy, but since today, I can't use the effects-panel anymore. When I click any effect, the options won't pop up (see attached screenshot).
Does anyone know what to do?
I'm running the latest version of OS X and Premiere Elements.
All the best!

It seems that you have made some progress. Please compare the first screenshot, apparently before uninstall/restall. Note that all you get for Color is Hue. Whereas, in the second screenshot, apparently after uninstall/reinstall, you now have Color with Hue, Lightness, Saturation, and Vibrance.
And, your screenshot of fx Effects/Generate/Lens Flare shows just one effect which what is to be expected. There is only one choice there. Are you saying that you cannot apply that effect to your clip?
Baseline questions.
Premiere Elements 12. Have you switched from 12 to the 12.1 Update via the program's Help Menu/Updates? If not, please do so.
Are you working in the Expert workspace or Quick workspace of the program? The answer to that might cut down on the expectations.
The Quick workspace has less choices under Adjust than the Expert. Compare

It is well known the Premiere Elements Mac does not have all the effects of Premiere Elements Windows, but I do not think this is a Mac Windows matter. But, SG is a Mac user and can confirm that possible aspect of the matter.
This is what I am suggesting
After updating from 12 to 12.1
1. Delete the Premiere Elements 12 Mac Settings File.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/preference-file-locations-photoshop-elements. html
or
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-projects-premiere-element s.html (Section numbered 3).
SG can give us some guidance on this if you have problems doing this.
2. If that does work, then I would suggest deactivation (Sign Out) of the program, followed by uninstall, ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner), reinstall.

By the way, do you have QuickTime installed on your computer; running program Run As Adminstrator and from User Account with Administrative Privileges? Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
How long did you work with Premiere Elements 12 before you saw this problem...the very start, never worked or it worked for a while but then did not work?
We will be watching for further details.
Thank you.

Program monitor during playback in always in focus; preventing effects panel or mixer to be seen

Dear Premiere CC users:
It must have been some recent update for premiere pro (a "bug fixes" one), which changed how Premiere works now.
I use 2 monitors where one is full screen preview, and another is for whole application. On that second monitor I used to have workspace organized in a way that NO program monitor was shown. I used to have effect panel / audio mixer + project files + effect controls always shown. Source monitor was triggered when I doubleclicked a clip, program monitor I had always hidden behind, because I have another full screen monitor for program.
Now when I playback program monitor is instantly pulled in front and I cant have mixer engaged, or any other windows in same panel. If I close the program monitor I loose picture on fullscreen monitor too. I don't want to see program monitor in my primary display where premiere GUI sits; only on external display, on second display. But from some update on, this is not possible anymoore.
Now if I want to have external full screen preview, a regular program monitor is always visible too. It is not needed, annoying, and it takes space on GUI area for other frequent needed things; like effects, or mixer. Shure it is good option to have it on a small laptop lcd, but annoying on a 2 big LCD setup.
Does anybody know how to change this back?
Many thanks for opinions or help.
PS: Right now I'm using a workaround: I pulled program monitor from main panel, and put it in panel with volume meter and reduced it's size to 1 x 1 cm - so It is almost invisible and does not steal too much my GUI real estate. But It seems that I have less smooth playback on external display now when program is played back on 2 screens simultaneously, than before.

I worked with almost all major big NLE products, and once I was hired at local studio with Premiere 6.0/6.5. It was nightmare compared to big ones from that time. But I personaly use and love Premiere PRO from version 1 (e.g. Premiere 7) on. I have tons of stories of broken projects on so many ways. So custom workspaces are jus a drop in to the ocean. As I love it, I cant admire some very old programming solution on what Premiere is based on. But regardles I lasted with Adobe for longer than decade now.
I live with all errors and fight with them by backuping projects in hundred of instances and with splitting project on smaller blocks - e.g. intro, reception, wedding, first dance... I always export finished part of feature in several needed formats and save whole project via "project manager" too. Than I have backup of all that of at least 2 times (3 for projects). I always save original files from camera too.
Regarding updates: We are not used from Adobe to have ANY updates or bug fixes to their products before just new wersion was released. We cursed that hundreds of times. Now they update more than Microsoft. And we are unhappy of that either.
Just today I learned, that some update might change the behaviour of marker placement with "*" on timeline... weird. Sometimes markers are added as clip markers, sometimes as timeline - as I was used to. I must dig into it...
regards.

Same Effects Panel parameters-different results on Tiff & Psd file format?

Just a quick question to all the users and the Adobe Lightroom team & see if anybody has the same problem.
I have one file saved in a Tiff format & the exact duplicate saved in a PSD, however when I sync the Effects Panel settings between the two, I get different results. The difference isn't black & white but clearly visible. The grain in the PSD file is less coarse & pronounced and the post crop vignetting is much more subtle. The color balance is also different. In other words every adjustments seems to be more subtle & less pronounced on a PSD file compare to a Tiff file.
Not the end of the world but clearly something to keep in mind when syncing settings between the two formats and something that shouldn't be there in the first place.
Thanks

Now you are providing more detail.
"... but lesser quality at least in terms of natural movement."
It sounds very much like 11 is exporting 25p/30p which is why you see non smooth motion.
25p/30p is the result of deinterlacing 50i/60i. When you take two FIELDS that are 1/50th or 1/60th apart and create 1 image, these images will be 1/25th or 1/30th second apart.
You can create 1 frame through several methods.
With iM09 deinterlacing occured only if you imported as LARGE, OPTIMIZED video, or used a function or FX that scales video. Perhaps with 11, Apple has decided that its time to FORCE any kind of interlaced video to be deinterlaced.
In other words, LARGE and FULL only relate to size.
One possible advantage is that Apple has finally decided to deinterlace using BLEND during import. This would look better, but it creates 25p or 30p video.
They may hinting its time to buy a progressive camera.

Lumetri looks NOT showing up in the effects panel

When I open my effects panel I can see the Folder "Lumetri Looks" at the bottom of the list.
But it is empty. A few updates before I could see several default looks in that list.
Can anyone help to get those Lumetri Looks back into the effects list?
I found an answer to a similar question explaining how to reset Premiere by holding "Option" + "Shift" while starting the program. On my Windows PC that would be ALT + Shift. But it did not help.

I thought there were a couple different ways to get Lumitri in Premiere
i use the Lumitri that is empty to guide me into my custom made LOOKS from SpeedGrade
i thought there was another Lumitri bin in the effects panel where you can choose the 'already made'
i never go there, as I only go to
Effects
color correction
lumitri
the regular Lumitri is not in Color Correction. It has its own folder I think.
Is it the 'custom' Lumitri where you are looking and not the Lumitri lower in the bin stack? Yes, you did say at the bottom is where you are looking - sorry me bad
sorry, not at my machine

Missing editing components from my effects panel

I just started using my Premiere Elements software on a Mac after having first used it on a PC. I am trying to edit something and noticed that many of my keying effects are missing from the effects panel. How do I find or restore them? I need the keying effects for green and blue screen but all thosse are missing. Please help. Thanks!

G Pizzarello
Although the operations of Premiere Elements Windows and Mac are very similar, there are differences.
One of the differences is in the keying effects, such as Chroma Key, Green Screen Key, and Blue Screen Key. Many will steer you in the direction of Videomerge as a possible workaround. Not one of my favorites. But, you can check it out to see if it works for you.
Please take a look at my blog post on the use of the Difference Matte as a possible replacement for the keying effects not present in Premiere Elements Mac. This blog post would apply to Premiere Elements 11 as well as 12.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-difference-matte-as-substitute-for.html
As for other Premiere Elements Windows and Mac differences, I have reported some in another of my blog posts directed to PE11: Mac Information Round Up
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/08/pe11-mac-information-round-up.html
I am strictly an Elements Windows user. So, that blog post was one of my initial steps to get acquainted to Premiere Elements Mac.
Please review.
Thanks.

You may want to search within the Photoshop Lightroom forum to see if someone else has asked the same question previously.

Focus search field when open Presets and Effects panel

Hi Adobe-Forum.
I like to get the cursor automatically placed into the search-field of the preset and effects panel.
Exists a shortcut or an option for that?
It’s annoying to use the mouse to get into this field by hand.
Thank you for your help!
Cheers
Brian

I was mistaken. Every time I go to that panel I click in the search field. I don't recall ever clicking in the panel first then the search field. It was not until I tried it buy clicking outside the search field that I discovered the problem.
It looks like there is no way to make it automatically focus when selecting the panel with a keyboard shortcut. Might be time for a feature request.
For most of my effects I add them in the ECP (Effects control Panel and then type the first letter of the category, right arrow, then the first letter of the effect. This works for me because I know where just about all of them are from experience. If I do have to search I simply click directly in the search field.
