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.

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.

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.

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 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.

LV2012 crashes when opening LV2010 project containing OOP and dynamic FPGA references

I have a project that was written under LV2010 and has no problems that I am aware of. This project contains OOP and dynamic FPGA references. I am trying to upgrade this project to LV2012. When opening this project under LV2012 (or any subVI containing OOP) I get an error message, as shown in the attached screenshot. Has anyone else observed this problem? I haven't found any relevant postings on this forum yet.
My project is quite large, with many accessors.
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Thank you for your response, but the Discussion Forums link that you provided refers to a problem that occurs when exiting a running executable. My problem is different. I am simply opening up a LV2010 project using LV2012. No running of my program is involved.
Anyway, after several days of work, I narrowed down the cause of the LabVIEW crash. My code contained a Disable structure, and within that Disable structure there was a subVI that had an unwired object terminal (set to dynamic dispatch). Deleting the subVI in the Disable structure eliminated the LabVIEW crashing. Weird behavior.

Images in my FrameMaker 10-sourced Robohelp Web Help project are turning out as blank JPEGS appearing as blank spaces in the final output. How can I fix this?

I'm attempting to create online help sourced from a FrameMaker 10 book using Robohelp 9 and Web Help (primary layout).
The text is interspersed with numeorus small icons which, in the FrameMaker documents, are .bmp images inserted into anchored frames in the lines of text.
Most of these icons were imported by reference into the FrameMaker book's chapters. Some were copied from another FrameMaker book and pasted into the present book.
Many of these images are turning out blank in the finished Help project.
Robohelp seems to convert these images into JPEGS.
In the source FrameMaker book, the images which appear OK in the Help project have Object Properties including: Facets: FrameVector JPEG ... Referenced File: No File
The images which appear blank have different object properties there: Facets: DIB ... Referenced File: (address of the image's source file)
How can I fix this and make all of the images appear in the Online Help?

Sorry, Jeff. I missed the key word in your instructions. Well, I did the import and still no luck. I'm getting the exact same results with the same images. (In some cases, I'm even getting hidden conditional text from the FM document body showing up in the image's frame instead of the image! See below.) This is bizarre behavior, but it's not new with the import. It is happening both in the linked and imported WebHelp with the same exact images. (Just another piece to complicate the puzzle.) So we have some jpeg images that are blank, and a few that are glitchy. From what I can tell, the commonality, besides the fact that all these new images are in jpeg format instead of gif format, is that all the blank and glitchy images are in a text inset. I'm beginning to think maybe RH just doesn't support text insets at all.
Arnis, I'll have to ask my colleague how she created the images next week when she's back from vacation. I have no clue if there are any differences between the jpegs and why some are showing up correctly. What do you mean by "compression type or level?" Are you asking about the resolution (high, medium, low) she chose when saving the images, or which program she used to do the screen capture and editing? (We have Adobe Photoshop CS5 and FM 11).
My next step is to copy-paste all the content from the text insets into my FM document (in the book I am linking) and re-render to see if that solves the problem. It will make single-sourcing impossible because I'll have to copy-paste the new content and images my colleague creates into my document each time we do an update, but oh well.
Here is an example of a glitchy image in RH:
And here is what it looks like in FM:
So bizarre!

Persistent Premiere Pro CC 2014 error message: "This project contains a sequence that could not be opened..."

I've been working on a project and everything was working fine. I close the program and reopened it an hour later. Now, I keep getting this error message: "This project contains a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
I attempted to use one of the Adobe suggested solutions... opening a new project, clicking on the "Help" Tab and deactivating, but the tab doesn't have that option. I'm also a little afraid to uninstall and re-install premiere pro, the other suggestion, because I'm worried about losing my files.
I would be grateful if anyone could help me.
Thank you very much.

Premiere Pro CC Error: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened..."

I know this problem has been reported previously with Premiere Pro CC (I run 2014). When opening up a recent project, I keep getting this: "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." The only solutionm is to open another project, sign ou, then sign in before I get open that other project. This has become a pain... Is there a permanent fix for this issue that has been reported for quite a while now?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Marc-Andre d'Anjou,
I am sorry to hear you're having trouble with this issue. It happens sometimes because of activation problems. The doc that Rameez points to is missing steps for reactivating the Creative Cloud version of Premiere Pro. For Premiere Pro CC, and later, see the section "How to deactivate or sign out" in this document. See the section "How to activate or sign in" in the same document to activate Premiere Pro once more.

Why is it that when I try to open a project, it says "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type"?

It could be opened last night but today it just kept showing "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type". I really need to access my video.
Some help out there, please?

Can you fix your help project (via coding) after importing a topic from an output file by mistake?

Yes - I admit it - I imported html topic files from an output folder of another RH project into the help project I am currently working on (the source files were lost and I needed to bring over a lot of legacy content in a hurry). However, I completely forget that the RH output html file contains unique Java scripting that is used to render the topic properly in a browser, but that same Java Script causes havoc when you open it up in as a source file in another RH Project. Needless to say, it has caused numerous weird things when I went to publish and view my files (but, surprisingly, you don’t really see or notice them in the RH Design WYSIWYG view or preview mode).
The bad news is that it took about 2 weeks for me to notice the issue (the help output is viewed on a special console running Linux with a QT browser that I only view occasionally). The good news is that is that I figured out what the problem was (that took some hours) and I can restore my help project back to a time before I did the "naughty deed".
I am now at a crossroads - do I:
Try to re-enter all of my content from the last two weeks? (Actually, to avoid repeating the same mistake twice, I will need to re-enter the text manually and NOT cut and paste from the RH output files!)
Or locate and find the offending HTML coding in my topic files (if that is even possible)? Has anybody documented what the RH output file JavaScript code injects into your files, and what files they affect?

OK - here is the documentation of this weird issue (hopefully, you can read the htlm code in the screen images):
1. In this topic, I cut and pasted some text into the table you see at the bottom of the screen. I had to reapply the “TableBody” style to this text. After doing this, I moved my cursor to the “Keyboard" text on top. Notice that it is displaying the "TABLEBODY" style, although visually, it is displaying the correct style on screen (“Heading 1”).
2.     In HTML view, notice the addition of the class= “TableBody”> code for this “Keyboard” text.
3.   I then reselected Heading 1 for this “Keyboard” text.
4.   Notice that the class= “TableBody”> code is now removed for this “Keyboard” text and has just the proper <h1> tagged assigned.

One of the folders of Robo Help Project Manager is listed twice in Windows Explorer.

Hello Everybody,
One of the folders of Robo Help Project Manager is listed twice in Windows Explorer. One has all the subfolders and topics of it and the other has all the subfolders but not the topics. How did I get into this kind of situation? Why do I have two folders? Can somebody please answer on this?
Since my RH project is attached to Visual Source Safe (VSS), the same structure is mirroring in VSS.

Hi there
After reviewing the image I see that what you might think are two of the same folder are two different folders similar in name.
One is named Advanced_Functionality. The other is named Advanced_Funtionality (note the missing C).
I'm assuming this is the folder you are referring to?
Cheers... Rick

Company code 1000's witholding tax reference number is missing

Hello All,
We are running the report RFIDYYWT / t.code S_P00_07000134 for the first time to file tax returns in the US.
And we see the following errors;
27 Company code 1000's witholding tax reference number is missing
28 EDI identifier for company code 1000 is missing
I did check the Additional Data for our US company code on OBY6 but there are no fields as such for Withholding Tax Reference and EDI Identifier.
Also checked the Output Group US1 config under Withholding Tax. Not sure about Parameter Types "Tax Ref. 1" and "EDI Ref." fields.
I see different threads with similar issues but could not find a solution for this specific problem. Could someone help us fix this problem so we can file this year's returns on time ? This is turning out to be a critical issue for our Finance team ...
Thanks

Found it - for US company Code, I went into the additional data of OBY6 and scrolled to the "Next Page". The namTax number USA (TIN) can be discovered, in the hidden pages of SAP

Seed_Database.dfb containing the datafiles information is missing

Hello All,
I installed Oracle 11g R2 on an HPUX server
While i am trying to create a database using the dbca, it fails because of this error: the file Seed_Database.dfb containing the datafiles information is missing.
Your help pls. what is the solution?
Regards,

Hello,
I also have this problem. I downloaded the win64_11gr2_database_1of2 and 2of2.zip files 3 more times. I also tried downloading the linux versions along with version 11.1.0.6.0. I have searched the files in all cases for the Seed_Database.dbf and did no find it. Why do you suppose that after all of those downloads, from the Oracle download site, I would still not be able to locate the file? I certainly would like a reasonable explanation and a solution. I am running a windows 7 os but I am the administrator on this PC.
Thanks,

Premiere pro CC 2014 - Project contained a sequence that could not be opened

Hi,
I've got serious issues, I just spent hours working on a project in CC 2014 and I closed and tried to reopen in and its now telling me that 'The project contains a sequence that could not be opened.'.
The file is permanently jammed in this state, what do I do from here?
Please help!!
Mark

First, this can happen ... you do have auto-saves set for every so often, right? Do a manual save-as every now and then? Right? ... Hope so ...
If you've got autosaves "on" you can of course go to the last saved save. Depending on your time betwixt saves, you might lose some work. Better than everything, of course.
If not ... there'll be help from others here. Hoping you get this taken care of ...
