Effects Custom Bin and Presets missing

I seem to recall reading about this, but for the life of me I can't locate it. Started up PPro this morning, and went into Effects, and my custom 'Favorites' bin was gone, as were all of my custom Presets.

Check your hard drive by using check disk... Open up My Computer then right click the hard drive and select properties. In the dialog that appears select the 'Tools' tab at the top and then click 'Check now'... This will start the Check Disk utility where all you should have to do is click start... If you do this on all drives before restarting it will scan all the scheduled ones after a restart...
If this doesn't help then you can try checking the Audition.ini (or .cfg I just can't remember) file for errors and possibly fix them that way...
If that doesn't help then just backup your .ini (or .cfg) file after setting the presets you want... You should be able to get all the default ones by re-installing or repairing the installation, but that won't restore any of the ones you lost...
Just a shot in the dark though...

  • "Media offline" - when it's not, and presets missing!

    I'm working on a project in PP CS5 (Mac) which has footage from a Canon DSLR and a AVCHD camera. I opened it and all of the AVCHD footage is shown as "media offline" even though the .MTS files are all in the same place as they were when I was previously working with those files. PP won't let me relink to the files because it says the files are not a compatible file type - which is ridiculous seeing as I've been working with those source files just recently. The files are stored in a folder on my desktop, not on an external drive.
    In addition to this, it looks like some of my sequence presets are missing - the DSLR presets seem to be non-existant! This is not good! Has an adobe update gone wrong?!
    Any suggestions as to what's causing this, and a solution? Thanks!

    Sounds like you've got more than just a "reversion" problem to worry about... you seriously need dedicated drives for your footage, especially working with HD! Don't EVER store footage on your desktop!

  • How to migrate my effects custom presets from Premiere Pro CC to Premiere Pro CC 2014?

    I have recently created a whole bunch of custom made presets for all the effects I use on a regular daily bases on Premiere Pro CC.
    Today I installed the new CC 2014 and all my custom bins and effects presets are gone and to create them all again will literally take me a couple of days and you know all know time is money and I need this migration to happen straight away if possible.
    Any ideas on how to migrate these custom made effects presets?
    Thanks very much,
    Marcelo

    Have you tried syncing your preferences and presets to your cloud account?  If not, go into the previous version of PP where you have your presets, under the "Premiere Pro" menu on a Mac (not sure where on Windows), the third menu item down (should be your Adobe CC account if you're logged in) allows you to sync all of your settings with the Cloud.  Perform this sync, close PP and open PP2014.  Sync your settings again and they should all appear in PP CC 2014.

  • Effects and presets

    Animation presets in After Effects using the Effects & Presets panel.
    I use After Effects CS6 and try to make a animation preset and get this message:
    After Effects warning: Adobe Bridge is not installed. Please download and install it to use this feature.
    I am new to After Effects, but does this mean, that I have to purchase Bridge to use any animation presets ?
    Are there no built in Animation Presets in the After Effects CS6 ?
    I have ticked in the Show Animation Presets, but I still can not find any.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Chears.
    Ola

    If you have not installed Bridge or it is out of date, you can find animation presets in the Effects and Presets panel. Just search snow there and you'll find:
    By the way, any animation presets you create will be also available here if you store them in the default directory. Custom animation presets will not have a preview mode in Bridge. In my entire 20 years of using AE I probably have browsed animation presets about 5 times using Bridge. I know some prefer that method, but I find the Effects & presets panel much more useful.

  • Premiere CC presets missing and Can't Open Sequence error

    I'm having a couple problems with Premiere.
    I was working on a project that's been just fine for a while, but now when I try to open it, Premiere gives the error:
    "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    Also, in any project when I'm creating a new sequence, there are no useful presets. I found the sequence presets folder, and they're all in there, but they don't show up from within Premiere.
    Also, when I import AVCHD .MTS files, I get video but no audio, even though they play ok in VLC
    Solutions I have tried but which do not solve anything:
    1. Sign out, restart Premiere, sign back in
    2. Recreate the Adobe Premiere Pro preferences and plug-in cache. (using shift/option combo)
    3. uninstall premiere, reboot, run cleaner script, reboot, reinstall premiere
    4. uninstall premiere, reboot, run cleaner script, reboot, create new user account, install premiere in that user account instead of original account
    I am aware of this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/features-presets-missing-premiere-pro.html
    and this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    Some pages I've come across have suggested running the cleaner script multiple times, but you can really only run it once, because after the first cleaning, when you run it again nothing shows up on the list to be cleaned.  Are there still remnants of Adobe stuff left on my machine uncleaned by the cleaner script that I need to delete manually?
    Has anyone else had this problem but not had any of the adobe-suggested solutions work for them and eventually fixed this?
    This is Adobe Premiere CC 2014.  I'm running it on a Mac Book Pro that's less than a year old, running OSX 10.9.5 w/ 16GB of memory.
    This is INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.  I've spent most of the day troubleshooting this issue and all I want to do is edit my video. A cursory search of the internet shows that I am far from alone in having this problem. Also, reinstalling is not trivial because the download speeds where I am are slow.

    Well, it took a long time, but I eventually got it working properly.  All of the presets and codecs show up, I can import AVCHD files properly with audio, and the project I couldn't open before now opens fine, so it turned out not to be a corrupt project. It looks like the problem was that the cleaner script didn't actually clean everything it should have, and I had to do it all manually.
    I uninstalled all of the Adobe Creative Cloud software, rebooted, ran the CC Cleanup script, and rebooted again.
    Then I uninstalled Flash and ALL other Adobe software I had on my machine.
    Then I used the Find Any File app to find every reference on my Mac to any file with "adobe" in the name--including system files--and deleted them and emptied the trash.
    The only Adobe things I left on my machine were the Adobe RGB color profile and any Adobe fonts I had.
    Empty the trash again, reboot again.
    Then I used the CC installer to install Premiere and only Premiere (I didn't even install Adobe Media Encoder) because I didn't want to go through all that download time only to have it fail on me again.
    And at long last it worked. Then I went back and installed Media Encoder, which didn't seem to break anything, so I went back and installed the other CC software I wanted on my machine, and things are working at last.
    The "cleaner" script leaves a LOT of Creative Cloud-related files on your machine, which, in my opinion, means it's not a very effective "cleaner."  It seems to want to leave a lot of preference files and other files whose purpose I don't know (but I deleted them anyway).  There should at least be a checkbox somewhere on the cleaner that says "wipe absolutely everything related to Adobe off of my machine".
    Thanks again for your suggestions, Neil.

  • What is an alternative to bins? Sometimes I want to make custom transitions and I need a place to store them for easy use.

    What is an alternative to bins? Sometimes I want to make custom transitions and I need a place to store them for easy use.

    Either projects or events. You can make a compound clip in a event used to hold favorites. Add a couple of generator items to it and apply the custom transition. You can copy and paste from the compound clip to any project. Hold everything you want into the one event. It probably won't ever get very big, and the render files can be dumped at any time. You can simply move the event from machine to machine or place to place as needed, just as you can other custom content, like keyboard layouts and custom color presets.

  • Can't Transfer Effects into New Custom Bin

    I know this is basic and , believe me, I've researched for solutions and have found nothing...so this has to be a basic question. I read how you can drag your favorite or most used effects into a new custom bin. However, when I try to do that, I get the little "no way" circle over my hand. What is the trick to this? I have a project open, but I don't have a clip up...well, I've tried both ways. Help!

    Thank you!
    This was Adobe's explanation...which didn't say anything about making a "custom effect". It just sayd to drag effect to custom bin.
    Create bins of favorite effects
    In the Effects panel, click the New Custom Bin button , or choose New Custom Bin from the Effects panel menu. A new Custom bin appears in the Effects panel. You can rename it.
    Drag effects to the Custom bin. A copy of the effect is listed in the Custom bin. You can create additional Custom bins, which are numbered.
    To rename the custom bin, click the existing name to select the folder, click it again to select the name field, and type the new name.
    But for some reason, It descided to work after you both deemed it so...lol! Thank you!

  • Keyboard shortcut to place cursor in Effects and Presets search box?

    Hi!
    Is there is a keyboard shortcut that will place the cursor in the search box of the Effects and Presets panel?  Ctrl + 5 activates the panel, but I still need to click to get the cursor into the search box and be able to type my search. I have RSI and am trying to learn to use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible. My system is AE CS6 on Windows. I've searched the help reference on keyboard shortcuts and haven't been able to find anything.
    Thanks in advance,
    Lori

    Too funny...I just found my own two-year-old question while Googling to find the solution (again).  Is there a shortcut (or a way to create one) that will let me place the cursor in the search box of the effects and presets panel? I'm now on CC 2014, and still hate having to reach for my mouse every time I use the search. I can't believe I'm the only person who would love this shortcut...

  • New document about sequence presets and codecs missing from Premiere Pro

    If you're having problems with sequence presets and codecs missing from Premiere Pro, see this document for solutions for this activation issue.
    This document relates to the following problems:
    - missing sequence presets when creating a new sequence
    - Encore error: "Encore will not launch in non-royalty bearing mode. The application needs to be serialized with a royalty bearing serial number."
    - When opening a project in Premiere Pro: "Error Adobe Premiere Pro: This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    - When importing footage, the footage is missing audio or video.
    These failures are all because Premiere Pro and Encore use some codecs that require activation before they can be used. If activation of these codecs has failed, these codecs will not be available to use.

    Well done.

  • It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.

    It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it to the timeline, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.
    P.S. I have tried other effects including transitions and it still won't let me drag.

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • FAQ: Why are some codecs and sequence presets missing from my installation of Premiere Pro?

    If you're having problems with sequence presets and codecs missing from Premiere Pro, see this document for solutions for this activation issue.
    This document relates to the following problems:
    missing sequence presets when creating a new sequence
    Encore error: "Encore will not launch in non-royalty bearing mode. The application needs to be serialized with a royalty bearing serial number."
    When opening a project in Premiere Pro: "Error Adobe Premiere Pro: This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    When importing footage, the footage is missing audio or video.
    These failures are all because Premiere Pro and Encore use some codecs that require activation before they can be used. If activation of these codecs has failed, these codecs will not be available to use.

    1. Deactivate
    2. Uninstall everything Adobe
    3. Run Clean Script CS4 2 or 3 times. Look here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html
    4. Reinstall and activate
    5. Update
    Why did this happen? Because you have in the past used a trial version or your installation was faulty.

  • Are Easy Setups with Custom Capture and Sequence Presets Portable?

    Hi,
    I created some Custom Capture and Sequence Presets. Then I created some Easy Setups that use these presets.
    Can I copy the Easy Setups to another machine or do I need to create or copy the Custom Presets in order for the Easy Setups to work?
    If I need to copy or create the Custom Presets how can I copy them (which files do they live in)?
    Thanks!
    Mitch

    Hi Jerry,
    Thanks for the reply. The Easy Setups are in the directory you mentioned but the Custom Presets are not.
    My question is are the custom presets used by the Easy Setup contained inside the Easy Setups? If not are there files I can copy or do I need to manually create them on the second Mac?
    Since the other Mac is 50 miles away I have no easy way to test this. If there are files I can bring rather than redoing the custom presets that would be quite a bit easier.
    Thanks Again!

  • Create Sequence from Bin and retain sort order

         I am trying to create new sequences by dragging a bin to the "new item" folder icon in the bottom right. It does create a sequence that matches the settings of the clips in the bin, but they are in a completely random order. The bin itself is sorted by name. If I select all of the clips in a bin and drag it to create a bin, they are sorted properly, but it is slowing down my workflow. Any thoughts? Does Premiere CC work this way for anyone else?

    Not sure what to suggest except..
    Posters often talk about wanting a faster workflow...
    but it is slowing down my workflow.
    FWIW
    Maybe 1 minute invested in creating a New Sequence Preset (Custom) for now and future use..
    Click On Bin - 1 sec
    Ctrl-A ( Select all) - 1 sec
    Drag to the Sequence - 2 secs
    Cant think of a faster way to speed up your workflow apart from that.
