Effects Window/Panel is blank...

I'm sure this is a bug, but I can't figure out what's going on.  The Effects Window (where ALL the effects are listed, not the Effect Panel of effects applied to a specific clip) is blank.  I've tried trashing preferences, importing effects, creating new custom bins... nothing works.  The window remains blank.  Aside from reinstalling... any suggestions?
Thanks
A.J.

  • Captivate 5.5 - Effects window is blank with no functionality, how do I get it back?

    Captivate 5.5 project.  When I select any image in this project to add an effect, the effect window will display but it is entirely blank.  No functionality on the screen at all.
    Tried to start a new project, same thing no effects?  Existing project, same thing.
    I'm new to captivate development. Am I missing something basic?

    Hello and welcome to the forum
    I suppose you already tried to change workspaces, there is an Effects Workspace but doubt that it will solve your problem?
    Since you do not see anything in the panel, you cannot even browse to the Effects folder. First try to clear the cache of Captivate (Preferences, General settings).
    Even this will not help I think, but worth trying.
    Next step is to close Captivate, and delete the Preferences folder. This folder is in your profile, and that depends on the OS. It is labeled Captivate 5.5. On my Win7 laptop it is in this path:
    \Users\<your profile name>\Appdata\Local\Adobe
    You can safely delete the whole folder Captivate 5.5 there (beware: it is a system folder so you may have to tweak the Explorer settings because normally it is hidden). You will lose all customisations.  When restarting Captivate a fresh folder with default settings will be created and there is a good chance that you get your Effects panel back.

  • Bridge Output panel is blank in right-hand window

    After opening the Output panel in Adobe Bridge CS5 the right hand panel is blank...nor PDF button, no formatting options....nothing. I've tried several times to reinstall the output module without success. Any suggestions?
    Francis Guinan

    If it worked before and you have changed nothing I would reset the preferences.  Close Bridge then hold down the CTRL key and start Bridge.  You should get a reset window with 3 optons.

  • Java Applet Certificate Signing Window comes up BLANK!

    Hi Everyone I have a problem where
    Java Applet Certificate Signing Window comes up BLANK!
    It comes up as blank gray panel with the java logo on the upper left.
    the title bar says "Java Plugin Security Warning"
    And I can't figure out what to do to make it come up properly. I tried double clicking it dragging it around to make it repaint itself nothing happens.
    I have tried clearing temp files deleting files from IE, deleting cookies, clearing the history.
    Now i'm going to restart the computer and see if it works.
    It is supposed to give me buttons.
    1. Accept for this session
    2. Grant
    3. Deny
    4. View Certificate
    But does anyone have any idea how to address this issue ?
    Stephen

    You might try setting the trace level to 5 in the plugin's Java console and looking what it spits out while the applet is launching. I remember seeing loads of information in there including stuff relating to certificate validation. It might be helpful.
    The trick to getting this info during start up:
    1) get the plugin to load by directing your browser to page with a known applet. Write your own little stub applet and load it or go to http://java.sun.com/. There's an applet on that page.
    2) bring up the plugin's console if it's not already and then go to a blank page.
    3) set the trace level to 5 in the console. (just press the 5 key).
    4) go to the page that launches your applet. You'll have tons of information pour out in your console.
    Happy hunting.

  • Not opening all my previously opened windows, many are blank!

    Why does Safari randomly choose not to open all my previously open windows? Sometimes up to half the tabs/windows show up BLANK.
    Often, I'll see the headings written in the tabs in the toolbars, but when I go to them, they are blank, and I must re-enter the page name manually, do a search, then load the correct one. Other times it will just be blank (usually when it's a single window, since the page name is not in the tab toolbar. WHY is it doing this?
    Will clearing past history remove the ability to open a window that is open when I close Safari?

    Context = this problem has nothing to do with images.  The blank pages contain no content at all, no source code.  There is simply nothing to reload.
    They have headers only, which safari seems to remember separately as tab info.  The rest is gone.
    I've deleted caches through prefs and developers tools.  All the other tabs refresh.  The "random", ones stripped of their URLs, do not. 
    So what is causing this?  Is there a pattern?  Why are only certain pages effected (some identical to the healthy tab next to it)?  Are they cloned tabs?  Is it plug-in related?  Google searches?  Old searches?  Why are they flushed from recent history?   Does it relate to icloud synching errors?  Is the content actually lost during "sleep" mode or application launch? 
    Has anyone really posted a fix for this? 
    Saxman is asking exactly the right questions.
    Saxman, do you keep multiple pages of multiple tabs open every day? I do. Are some of them reduced in the dock?  Are they google search results?  New or reloaded every day?
    Next time this happens to you, check to see if that blank page is still in your deep history list.  (We know that "reload tab" does not work).   In the history menu, choose "show top sites".  Then click the history button to view all your pages in cover-flow view.  Is the url info still there?   (You can use the search function here as well). 
    Do any of the questions I've posted ring a bell?

  • Markers in the Effect Controls Panel

    I'm up to page 165 of the Premiere 6 manual, trying to understand markers, and it says:
    Create markers in the Effect Controls panel
    In the Effect Controls panel, you can view all of the markers that you created in the Timeline panel. You can also add markers to your sequence to designate where you would like to place effects and see the markers as you work in the Effect Controls panel. In addition, you can create and manipulate markers directly in the Effect Controls panel.
    1. Drag the playhead to the place where you want to create a marker.
    2. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) in the timeline ruler:
    In Premiere Pro CS5.5, and earlier, choose Set Sequence Marker, and then choose the type of marker you want to set.
    In Premiere Pro CS6, choose Add Marker, or press the M key.
    I follow those instructions to the best of my ability, and nothing appears in the Effect Controls Panel. The previous three paragraphs are labelled as CS5.5 and earlier. I'm wondering if this paragraph should also have been labelled as CS5.5 and earlier.
    In CS6, do markers appear in the Effect Controls panel? If they do, how do you get them to appear?

    Thanks Jeff. My Effect Controls timeline was hidden. I don't remember it even being there, but I suppose it must have been at some stage.
    Now, another Marker matter. At the bottom of page 165 it states:
    "Move a marker
    Do one of the following:
    To move a clip marker in a clip that’s in a sequence, open the clip in the Source Monitor and drag the Marker icon in the Source Monitor’s time ruler. (You can’t manipulate clip markers in the Timeline panel)."
    This is what I've done:
    In the Source Monitor I set up a marker for a particular clip. Three things happen.
    An empty grey Marker appears above the Timeline in the Source Monitor (that Marker disappears if I move the Playhead).
    Two green Markers appeared inside the clip in the Sequence Panel (those Markers stay put).
    The Marker details appear in the Marker Panel.
    I can cause the Marker to move if I change the In and Out points in the Marker Panel, but I cannot "drag the Marker icon in the Source Monitor’s time ruler." I can't see any Marker, except the empty grey one.

  • Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads; the output panel is blank. Where is the script?

    Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads after my system back-up; the output panel is blank.
    The other Workspace features appear to be functional.
    What/Where is the  output script supposed to be? 

    If it worked before and you have changed nothing I would reset the preferences.  Close Bridge then hold down the CTRL key and start Bridge.  You should get a reset window with 3 optons.

  • PSE 8 for Mac. Effects window empty

    I just installed PSE 8 on my Intel iMac. When I open it I notice the Effects windows is blank. The icons (filters, layer styles, etc.) are all there, but they don't do anything.
    What's up?
    I'm on an Intel Core 2 Duo, running OS X v.10.5.8 and I'm on the administrator account.
    Thanks

    Well, I repaired permissions several times, and zapped the pram. But still a blank Effects window. I finally just uninstalled PSE 8, then reinstalled it, and that did the trick!

  • Maximize window panel

    I can't maximize windows panel with shortcut (~) key.
    I have a portuguese keyboard. Anyone can help me?
    Thank you!

    The shortcut is not ~. It is ` (the accent mark). The reason that people often mistakenly say that it is ~ is because they share the same key on a US keyboard.
    This is a critical difference when you're using a different keyboard and are trying to find the right key.

  • In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

    When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success.  Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

    Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug)  I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years.  I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

    YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!  I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

  • There is no "Libraries" in my Adobe CC Illustrator's "Window" panels.

    There is no "Libraries" in my Adobe CC Illustrator's "Window" panels. There are "Brush", "Graphic", "Swatch" and Symbol Libraries at the bottom of the Window Tab. The Adobe shapes overview assumes it's there. Where do I access the Libraries Panel? We have a cloud corporate account. Does that have something to do with it?

    It takes an act of Congress to get our IT dept. to update anything much less re-install something. I will try. I do know it's the latest version of CC. So I'm baffled that the menus would not display appropriately.
    Thanks!

  • Cannot drop pictures into video effects window (not the usual problem)

    Hi there,
    I cannot drop jpgs into the video effects window. I checked http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5700460&#5700460 and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7384222&#7384222 and they got me going, but my issue is slightly different.
    The plus sign appears when I click and drag the picture out of finder and into one of the open windows in video effects user backdrop window. When I release the mouse button, nothing is dragged to the location. I have tried different picture locations, moved them to the desktop first, and different picture locations, but no luck.
    Any ideas? I’ll run disk perms in the meantime in case it is something goofy, but if anyone has any ideas I’d be grateful. Just got my first Mac two days ago and love it so far

    Hi,
    Did the Pic file come from another computer ?
    Manually navigate to the Pic.
    Highlight it and do a "Get Info" (Apple Key and I together)
    DO you Own it and have Read and Write Access (near the bottom when you expand the various tabs).
    Make sure you are the Owner and have Read and Write access.

  • Adusting Bridge Window Panel size/positions

    How do I adjust the window panels in Bridge horizontally?  It is easy to adjust the width of them vertically, but I cannot recall how to adjust them horizontally.  I had to Reset Preferences and cannot seem to figure out how to "stack" the window panels.  In other words, I might like to have two window panels, tabbed, in the upper left corner, and two more window panels, tabbed, in the lower left corner (underneath the others).  If this is not clear I could send an email with a screen capture of my original layout before I had to Reset Preferences.   Thanks!
    Mark W.

    I just had the idea of switching the gpu (System Prefs - Energy Saver - Better Battery life or Better Performance). Changing from one to the other will force you to log out and back in. Now Bridge is working. I switched back and it's still working so maybe you just need to log out or restart.
    No solution, but I'm having the same problem. Just updated to 4.0.4.1. I'm guessing there because I didn't check the number, but I ran the update a couple days ago and went to use Bridge today... I repaired permissions, installed another update today (4.0.4.2) and tried resetting Bridge (option key at start) and nothing has fixed it.
