Endless problems...  missing effects

I don't know what has been going on, but I seem to be having continual trouble. My effects tab was gone, but I got it back. But now, it looks different, and does not have all the effects. For example, under 'amplitude' I no longer have 'normalize.' Why do these things keep happening? I don't know. But I may soon move to a cave.

>But I may soon move to a cave
That may not solve your problem if the entrance to that cave also disappears LOL
Seriously though maybe you should uninstall and then reinstall and then keep an eye on things to see if something else occurs which is causing this problem - assuming it happens again?

  • Missing effect problem!

    I have downloaded a project from a friend and in this project he uses the plug-in effect Trapcode Particular. I knew this before i downloaded his project so i intalled the effect on my machine too. But now when i open his project i always get the error message "This project contains 5 references to missing effects. Please install the following effects to restore these references. ("Particular")" and i have no idea why??
    I've tried to reinstall several times, both after effects and trapcode particular but nothing seems to work, always the same error message. I've installed the effect in my programs folder, in the adobe folder, in the after effects folder, in the after effects/support files/plug-ins/effects folder but still nothing! I've also read somewhere that if you get these type of error messages the effect will work anyway but it doesnt! And in the "effects and presets" panel the effect shows up under the missing tab??
    Another wierd thing is that if i go to my timeline and then click on "rain" wich is the layer particular is used on, i can still use and configure all the settings for the effect in the effect control but nothing happends on the screen. And istead of just saying "Particular" in the effect control it says "Missing: Particular" even if i can still tweek the settings!?
    I really need help with this,isthis a bug or glitch or what, anyone else ever had this problem or similar, please help!

    it says "Missing: Particular" even if i can still tweek the settings!?
    Yes, this is as designed and ws introduced in AE 7 or CS3 (can't remember exactly...). the rest is unclear, since you didn't say anything about which version of AE nor your operating system. On a guess I would say you run CS5, but do not use the correct 64bit versions of the plug-ins, so naturally, nothing shows up because it cannot support 32bit plug-ins. Other than that it could be anything from permission issues to some system DLL used by the plug-ins missing...

  • Missing effects in cs5. Error message when I add presets.

    So I'm new to AE, and need some help. When I add the "rotate over time" animation preset to a title, it says "this favorite contains 1 reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference". Does anyone know how I can get this worked out? Everything is there in my effects and presets, except this error message keeps showing up when I add it. When I look in my presets folder, the transform is clearly there. Any help? Something I'm missing/overlooking?
    Specs: 2010 17 in mbp, 2.53 ghz i5, 8 gb ram, 500 gb. AE cs5 10.2

    Nothing to worry about. This is a so called "Pseudo Effect". More details here: http://www.batchframe.com/tutorials/12
    Basically the documentation of this custom preset should have contained some code thant you need to insert into "PresetEffects.xml" and is just for naming purposes. So as long as you can live with the "missing effect" name you have nothing to worry about.

  • All Tracks Forward/Backward & Missing Effects

    Hi,
    1. Please tell me that fcpx has the equivalent to fcp7's All Tracks Forward and Backward in the tool palette. If so, where is it?
    2. In fcp 10.0.8 it says i have 472 Missing Effects. When putting cursor over the Missing Effects Title a box comes up for about 5 seconds that reveals all the missing effects, but there seems nowhere to get that list as when you click on Missing Effects nothing happens. Is there someplace we can get a list of our Missing Effects in fcpx?
    Thanks,
    joe

    Hi Luis, Yes I understand all of that, but to get the names of those effects which can be seen for 5 seconds when putting the cursor over Missing Effects there must be someplace i can click to see a list of the effects. without the list i can't find the programs that i need to get so that those effects will be on my mac. the editor believes it's unreasonable to ask him for a list of missing effects and won't send them. thanks!

  • SB Live! 5.1 problem mapping effect to midi controllers

    Hi, I have a SB Li've! 5. and I am having problems mapping effects to the midi controller in the EAX Control Panel. After doing some searching it seems that you can only map 2 effects, to a controller, at any time (which is disappointing), but it seems that for some reason, I cannot even do that, it seems to only allow me to map one effect to a controller at any time.
    For example (In EAX Control Panel (AudioHQ) on the Midi tab) I have the following:
    Original Sound: Not mappable
    Reverb: Not mappable
    Chorus: Default
    Echo: Not mapped
    If I go and try to map Echo to a controller, Chorus changes to "Not mapped", and vice-versa (same with additional effects) thus I can only map one effect at a time.
    Anyone know what the problem is? (and why is Reverb Not mappable? which probablly has something to do with the problem)Message Edited by Russ on 0-3-2005 2:20 PM

    BTW: Not sure what the actual model name of the sound card is, (it said Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital on the box), but the model number is SB0220.
    Also, I forgot to mention that this is on Windows XP Professional.

  • Missing Effect after upgrade to 10.0.4

    I upgrade to 10.0.4 - went pretty smoothly. When I opened FCPX it 'update' my Events and Projects. Now I have a clip in the time line that has a orange bar along the time frame. When I try to preview I get a red screen and a warning symbol (yellow triangle and "!"). When selecting the project the Information window states "1 Missing Effect - FastNoiseReuction". I'm assuming this filter is not longer available - how come? How do I remove it from that clip? The clip won't render as is, although I can see the clip contents OK in the timeline.

    Any Effects which are deletable will appear in the inspector.
    Select the clip and press Cmd+4 to open the inspector.
    This grab shows the Audio Tab - with no effects.

  • TileList problem with effects - 'RangeError: Index '8′ specified is out of bounds.' error.

    Flex 3.0 beta TileList problem with effects
    I have a problem with deleting item from a Flex 3.0 beta
    TileList component. While a delete item effect is playing and I
    delete another item (while the first effect is still playing) , I
    get an ‘RangeError: Index ‘8′ specified is out of
    bounds.’ error. How do you delay processing until the effects
    are done? or is there another solution? do I use a callLater()? or
    remove the eventListener and wait until the effect finishes?
    To see the problem, hit the down error twice quickly.

  • Help! project contains 1 reference to a missing effect

    Hello,
    I working on a after effects(CS3 ) project that was started by a another designer and when I open the project I get a "this project contains 1 reference to a missing effect.Please install the following effect to restore this reference. (Inner Bevel")
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks..

    Not related to AE. AE does not have an Inner Bevel effect. The designer probably was using third-party plug-ins like Boris Continuum Complete or such. Since it's CS3, you may however be able to re-create the look using layer styles. You'd still need a reference image, though, as I consider it very likely that identical values have a different meaning in the layer style than they would have in the plug-in. Therefore a phone call to the person is unescapable, if only to confirm my theory. If he can tell you, what plug-in he used, you should at least be able to obtain the demo version of it and use it as a reference.

  • This project contains 2 references to missing effects

    Hi, I hope someone can shed some light on this.
    When loading projects I sometimes receive this error.
    This project contains 2 references to missing effects.  Please install the following effects to restore these references (“Form”)
    It then loads, but doesn't work as it should.   The number of missing effects changes, but the references ("Form") is consistent.  No other effects are listed.
    Do you know why this might happen? 
    I purchased the files from VideoHive, but it's happening with 4 our of 5 purchased files.  I've tried loading them on both CS5 (- they are CS5 versions of the effect according to the author) - and also tried loading them into CC. This shows the same error.
    Many thanks for your help.
    J.

    Get ready to open your wallet again: you need to buy Trapcode Form, available from Red Giant Software.  I'm surprised Videohive didn't list required third-party plugins in the product description.

  • Installing Missing Effects

    Hello all,
    I'm taking an after effects class at college and decided I'd like to work on my ae projects at home as well.  So, I bought a new laptop with windows 64 bit, downloaded a free trial of after effects 5.5, and transferred the projects I created on the campus's computer to my new laptop via external hard drive.  The projects opened, but a few things were missing.  For one, the effects I used on the project when created on the campus's computer did not register with my trial version of ae 5.5.  I got a message stating that I needed to install those missing effects (cc starburst, starglow, and so on).  How do I do this?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    How do I do this?
    You buy them. Starglow is a commercial third-party effect that won't magically appear regardless whether or not you run in trial mode or the full version. You can of course download demo versions of these effects but will have to live with watermarks.

  • Missing effects installed yet not updating

    I opened a project that uses effects that were missing from my system and received the red screen alert. I downloaded and installed the effects and they now appear in the effects menu in FCPX, yet FCPX is still telling me the 6 effects are missing. How do you fix this so that the effects update and apply?
    They should just apply once they have been installed yet they do not. One of the effects did update when I installed it but there are 6 instances that will not.
    The effects are: Alex4d Mask+4, Alex4d Mask+8 and Alex4d Mask+16. See the screengrab below showing the installed effects and also the missing effects alert for those same effects.

    When you add or update an effect, title, transition etc in the effects browser, FCP will sometimes not see it until you close and reopen FCP. Even if it sees the additional effect it will not apply it to an instances in the project timeline. You have to reapply it. One would think in your case where the effect was missing it would automatically add it once it appeared in the browser but perhaps not. I would relaunch FCP and see if that fixes it. If not then You will need to reapply the masks.

  • 2 fcpx problems, missing title after mac died & spinning ball

    Hi my 2008 mac pro died and I replaced with a 2013 mac pro 2x6core 3.3 and 48gig ram so a resonable machine. Because I replaced it through insurance I removed all my media drives before hand but had to leave the system drive in for them to test, they concluded the machine was dead and kept the hard drive as part of the insurance claim, I can't get the hard drive back from them either.
    after a totally fresh install but I have opened up my fcpx project it is saying missing title that i created in motion specifically for these project. I have tried to recreate the titles, with the same name etc but it still isn't seeing them, is there anyway of finding out what the old location would have been of the title just incase I am placing them in a different location from what it is expecting. I have looked in titles info tab but it doesnt say anything about location. I have lots of titles and it is going to take me about 5 days to rebuild everything which is time I can't afford to spend.
    The other problem is fresh install of OS and fcpx motion etc, and every time I click the mouse I get that sodding spinning wheel for about 30 seconds everytime which makes it impossible to do anthing, this didn't do it on my old 2008 mac pro.
    help please

    I'm assuming this title appeared in the FCP title browser. If so it's stored in the user Movies folder. There should be a Motion folder there with subfolders for generators, transitions, effects, and titles.

  • CS6 app missing effects tab - help

    I've called customer service twice and they have not been helpful at all.
    My problem is that one of my effects tabs is missing in Premier Pro CS6, "camera view". Do I need to reinstall the app software for CS6 and if so, will that mess up all the things I've been editing up to this point? My platform:
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)

    This should clear things up. It is from the help file.

  • Missing effects on intro template pc.

    WHat effects? Most likely you are simply referring to commercial third-party plug-ins which you would have to buy.
