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...

Help needed with missing data problem in CRVS2010

We recently upgraded the reporting engine in our product to use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (previously engine was CR9). Our quote report, which has numerous subreports and lots of conditional formatting, started losing data when a quote took more than a single page to be printed. We knew the SQL results included the data, but the report was not printing those lines at all or sometimes printing a partial line. In addition, the running total on the report would exclude the lines that were being missed on the next page. In one example submitted by a customer, 3 lines were skipped between pages.
I think I have identified two potential issues that document the possibility of data not being included in the report.
The first potential issue is an issue with the "suppress blank section" option being checked. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01483793, being released someday with service pack 2 for CRVS2010.
The second potential issue is using shared variables. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01484308, also targeted for SP2.
Our quote report does not explicitly use shared variables with any of the subreports, but it does have several subreports, each in its own section that has the "supress blank section" option checked. We have other reports that use this feature, as well, and they are not exhibiting the problem.
One different thing about the quote report is that it has a section with multiple suppression options selected. The section has a conditional suppression formula, which controls whether the section is included at all within the report. The section also has the suppress blank section option selected. There are multiple fields within the report that are each conditionally suppressed. In theory, the section's suppress formula could evaluate to true, yet all of the fields within the section are suppressed (due to null values), and then the "suppress blank section" option would kick in.
The missing data only seems to happen when the section is not being suppressed, and at least one of the fields is being included in the report. If I clear the "suppress blank section" check box, and change the section formula to also include the rules applied to the fields in the section, the missing data problem seems to be resolved.
Is this related to ADAPT01483793? Will it be fixed in service pack 2?
If more details are needed, I would be happy to provide a sample report with stored data.

Hi Don,
Have a look at the Record Selection formula in CR Designer ( stand alone ) and when exported to RPT format opening that report in the Designer also.
There's been a few issues with => logic in the record selection formula. It could be you are running into this problem. Look for NOT inserted into your selection formula.
Oh and SP2 is coming out shortly so it may resolve the issue. But if you want you could purchase a support, or if you have a support contract then create a case in SMP and get a rep to work with you to debug the issue.
If you have not try the Trial Version of CR 2011, put it on a VM-ware image or Test PC so you don't corrupt anything for production and have a look at and test it in that designer also. If you purchase a case and it is a bug then you'll get a credit back for the case.

The missing library problem.

I understand that there's already a lot of threads about the sudden disappearance of iTunes libraries, however I'm typing this up because I'd like to point out in a bit more detail what I'm seeing happening to my computer, and maybe have a collective of what's going on. This issue has happened to me five times in the last two months since I've updated to iTunes 11. After searching on google I know the missing library problem has existed since the early 2000s; why this glitch has yet to be fixed 13 years later is beyond me. I have personally never had this problem until updating to 11, and seeing the many other threads on here this appears to me to be an issue with this version of the software more than it has been in previous versions.
Before I continue, I have tried the following to fix it:
Simply readded my whole library. It was only wiped again a few weeks later.
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. That didn't work either, so it's not just an updating problem.
What I haven't tried
Changing where on my computer iTunes is installed. I have no idea where on the computer might be better or if it will change anything. I have iTunes installed on its default location on my local C: disk.
Importing the music directly from my iPod into iTunes. Can this be done? If so, how? Not everything on my iTunes is a store purchase, most of it is imported CDs and also amazon purchases too. So I don't know if the transfer purchases option works. While this wouldn't fix this current issue, I would like to know how to do this if possible since it would just be a quick fix whenever this happens.
What is happening:
So each time this has happened, what occurs is that like many other people, one day I open my iTunes and everything is in order. Then the next, for no reason, all of my libraries are gone but the music is still on my computer, organized in their files the way iTunes had them done so upon importing. I can't use the .itl files in the "previous libraries" folder because they have also been re-written. Upon opening them, even if their last save was on a day I know everything was in working order, opening them does nothing but give me the same blank default page.
What isn't mentioned in a lot of the posts regarding this issue, is the sudden crop of temporary files in the iTunes folder.
The ones that have cropped up for me personally are the following:
iT 1.tmp
iT 2.tmp
iT 3.tmp
iT 4.tmp
Temp file 1.tmp
Temp file 2. tmp
Those were not there the last time I used iTunes, and they're never there on the days I've used it before and it has worked correctly. However every time my library is wiped, these files suddenly appear without fail, every time. I can't open them, I can't do anything with them except delete them. I believe I remember reading somewhere that this might be an issue regarding with how the program is saving the progress of your library changing, and that the temp files are there until it can "officially" save what has happened to your library. While I didn't change anything in my library in the last couple of weeks, I'm assuming this also counts things like play count.
My own personal opinion
Seeing just how many threads with this issue are popping up, this leads me to believe that this isn't just a problem with my personal computer or my personal install of iTunes 11. These temp files also lead me to believe that as well. In other words, whatever glitch has existed with iTunes since the early 2000s is for some reason running rampant in version 11.
TL;DR:
Please developers, actually look at this library glitch within the program itself. It can't just be an individual user's problem because way too many people are experiencing it.

No worries. You've probably run into one the other threads I've posted to but I'll add my thoughts here anyway...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

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.

[svn:fx-trunk] 10229: Fixes for some transform effects problems.

Revision: 10229
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-09-14 08:43:43 -0700 (Mon, 14 Sep 2009)
Log Message:
Fixes for some transform effects problems.
- We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
- A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
- A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

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!

Missing Pictures problem

Missing Pictures problem, I work with Adobe Illustrator CS2 at work & CS3 at home but i have the problem with both. I have a problem with missing pictures from time to time after saving the file & moving the image from original location. I know you have to link the images/files and leave then where the are or you can embeded them. So in my option box i un select the link the files box & i still get the missing files problem, when re-opening the AI file.
Does anybody know why? Or what I can do to avoid this?
Thanks

Always try to keep your pictures in the same folder as your artwork.
However you can also make aliases of your pictures and keep them in the folder.
Aliases are better at tracing their origins than Illy is.
Steve,
Could you expand on that a bit please... the "make aliases of your pictures", i mean...
TIA,

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.

Profit center and comapny code missing authorization problem.

Could you help any body,i have some missing authorization problem with profit center and company code,
How to search the roles which having require profit and company code values.
Is there any way to search.
Please let us know very fast.
Thanks in advance

Another, and probably much easier way, is just to use Ctrl + Y... and use subsets of the selections in the SUIM reports.
But I can well understand the temptation to use tables or at least double-check the SUIM output against them.
The bugger with tables is that you can easy make the same mistakes or more than the SUIM reports do, or use old obsolete tables, or incorrect logic when interpreting single fields of the user tables.
Personally, I would normally check the exits first. Developers don't always raise self-explanatory messages...
Cheers,
Julius

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.

Verizon is releasing another update tommorow: ED05 did not fix the miss call problem

I got two voice mails today that did not show as missed calls . I call Verizon technical support and ask to speak to a manager. He told me that several people are still having miss call problems and to expect a new update august 1 which is tommorow. I told him this is the last straw , if this new update doesn't work for me, they are going to have to give me a different phone or release me from my contract. This is so frustrating.

I called Verizon 2nd level tech support and they assured me there is NO ED06 update's said they haven't even finished rolling out ED05 yet. I think they just told you that to get you off the phone. I also have a Fascinate and have had problems and can't get them to replace my phone with a different device. I want the Droid Charge since it is the only other one that has the AMOLED screen that I originally chose the Fascinate for . They had a program that ended on July 28th the day that ED05 rolled out. They offered the Droidx, the Incredible 2, and the Droid Charge to replace the Fascinates that were having trouble. I had called to report my issues during this replacement program but was not told that it was going on and now they won't give me the Droid Charge because it has expired. I think since there are STILL issues-they need to bring this program back and allow us to get a different phone. I have been a customer of Verizon for 10 years and have 7 lines so I am REALLY disappointed that they can't work with me (or other customers ) especially since it is not something we did to the phone. It is a problem with either Verizon or Samsung. I don't know where to go from here but maybe if they hear enough from others that didn't have any success with ED05 they will start to replace them. I will probably go to a higher level to voice my concern. Let me know if anyone has any success getting a new device especially the Droid Charge.

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!
