Motion effects in effects panel gone

It seems like somehow the Motion effects in my effects panel have dissapeared.
Any one knows how to fix this? It's weird that it would even be possible to remove this function, since it's a frequently used tool.
I'm using Adobe Premiere CS5
Hope to hear from you guys...

I think i know what happend.
I clicked remove all effects on the timeline-clips.
But I still don't know the solution, any one?
When inserting a new clip, the motion button effect is back...

Effect Panel Gone

I accidently deleted my effects panel in adobe premier pro. How can I get it back?

Open up the window menu, you should be able to reselect it.

How to achieve the distort motion effect ala Final Cut Pro in Premiere CS4?

Newbie here.
I have just recently started with video editing. In Final Cut Pro I have the option to distort a still image in the motion/effects panel. In premiere cs4 I only find the option to scale it up/down without the option to individually distort the four corners. Does anyone know how this can be done in premiere cs4?
The effect i am going for is the same as in Apples presentation of iPad. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/specialevent0110/
I have an presentation wich I need to insert all the slides from the powerpoint presentation in the video.
Any help would be appreciated. ( I have searched around for an solution, but without results)
Regards T

Here is a resource, that deserves a bookmark, the PrPro-Wiki. Plenty of great FAQ articles and tutorials.
I see the "Distort" part of the Effect in FCP, but the "Motion" aspect was throwing me. I kept thinking Posterize Time, and that is anything but what you were looking for. That's why I was going to head to Google for the FCP Help files, or similar.
Good luck,

Same Effects Panel parameters-different results on Tiff & Psd file format?

Just a quick question to all the users and the Adobe Lightroom team & see if anybody has the same problem.
I have one file saved in a Tiff format & the exact duplicate saved in a PSD, however when I sync the Effects Panel settings between the two, I get different results. The difference isn't black & white but clearly visible. The grain in the PSD file is less coarse & pronounced and the post crop vignetting is much more subtle. The color balance is also different. In other words every adjustments seems to be more subtle & less pronounced on a PSD file compare to a Tiff file.
Not the end of the world but clearly something to keep in mind when syncing settings between the two formats and something that shouldn't be there in the first place.
Thanks

Now you are providing more detail.
"... but lesser quality at least in terms of natural movement."
It sounds very much like 11 is exporting 25p/30p which is why you see non smooth motion.
25p/30p is the result of deinterlacing 50i/60i. When you take two FIELDS that are 1/50th or 1/60th apart and create 1 image, these images will be 1/25th or 1/30th second apart.
You can create 1 frame through several methods.
With iM09 deinterlacing occured only if you imported as LARGE, OPTIMIZED video, or used a function or FX that scales video. Perhaps with 11, Apple has decided that its time to FORCE any kind of interlaced video to be deinterlaced.
In other words, LARGE and FULL only relate to size.
One possible advantage is that Apple has finally decided to deinterlace using BLEND during import. This would look better, but it creates 25p or 30p video.
They may hinting its time to buy a progressive camera.

Apply filters before motion effects?

I've some night time, timelapses in a programme. They're very beautiful, of the northern lights. Unfortunately they are covered in dead pixels. I have Boris Pixel Fixer installed though, so should be no problem! Unfortunately, there is a move applied to each timelapse, and the fixes for the dead pixel seem to apply AFTER the move, so the dead pixels drift away from the points. It's very annoying! Is there a way to reorder the stack of motion effects so the move is applied after filters? It seems like motion, opacity, etc can't be reordered, only user added effects. I could go in to the AE project the timelapse were made in, fix the dead pixels there, render out the timelpases, apply the Lumetri look file and the editors move again... But taht seems like a faff for what should be fixable. Any ideas?

It seems like motion, opacity, etc can't be reordered, only user added effects.
I had to wait until I was sitting in front of my machine to properly guide my comment. Yes, the nested tip from RoninEdits is good and Peru Bob is shooting straight,
Re-order your motion, opacity with your user added effects yes. Add the 'Transform' effect, but it is not found in the Transform effect drop-down list. The 'Transform' effect is found in the 'Distort' effect drop-down list.
In the effects panel, open Video Effects, then open Distort, then choose Transform.
With Transform you will see the 'fixed position' Motion effects, as well as a few others. Then you will be able to arrange in the stacking order as you wish.

Premiere Elements 9 Lose Motion Effects after Share

Hi all,
I seem to be having a serious issue after sharing/exporting my video:
I have recently finished a 20-minute informational video for work that involves lots of screen capture of my desktop. The screen capture was done with VLC media player. Once I imported the screen capture (.mp4) videos in adobe premiere, I used the motion effect to only display the part of the screen that I want to by changing the scale and position fields for the entire duration of these screen capture videos. Watching the video in premiere after rendering shows everything is fine. But once I export the video, all these motion effects are clearly not present: the screen capture parts of my video are not scaled at all and instead show the entire desktop.
What is the issue here?
Have I misunderstood what the motion effect is meant to be used for? I am really looking for something to trim/zoom into parts of a video and it sounded like the motion effect was the solution, but I am not entirely sure.
Thank you very much to anyone who assists!
Skyler

Please excuse the question, but am asking just in case.
When you say that you are using Motion Effects (Scale and Position) for your .mp4 video on the Timeline, does that mean that you are keyframing the Scale and Position properties in the Properties Palette/Motion Panel/Scale and Position properties (using the Toggle Animation button there to initiate the keyframing)?
Please include in your response to SG.
Thanks.

Hi my names mark.I have the ipad 2 it's on ios 7.1 I had iOS 7.4 but it downgraded to iOS 7.1 is there any way I can upgrade to iOS 7.4 and the 3D effect is gone off my ipad

Hi my names mark.I have the ipad 2 it's on ios 7.1 I had iOS 7.4 but it downgraded to iOS 7.1 is there any way I can upgrade to iOS 7.4 and the 3D effect is gone off my ipad

There isn't an iOS 7.4 - there was a 7.0.4 (and 7.0.6), 7.1 is the current version.
For the parallax effect, do you currently have Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion set 'on' ?

Conforming 25fps offline sequence to 50fps online media and maintaining smooth motion effect in FCP7

I am editing something shot at 50fps with the intention of playing it back at 25fps for a smooth motion effect.
the footage is shot on a RED and I have created proxies from REDcineX that have been transcoded to 25. Everything is working fine but it has just occurred to me that when the offline edit is complete I may run in to issues relinking to the original media as it will still be 50fps.
Will the fact that my FCP7 sequence is a 25fps timebase solve this problem or will there be timecode mismatches between the cuts on my 25fps proxies and my 50fps RED quicktime reference files? If there are issues with that, is there a way to solve them?

this doesn't seem like a very common workflow (at least in my experience) so you might not get any responses. Why not do a test with a short sequence with just a couple of shots to see if you're gonna have any problems down the road. It's always a good idea to test your complete workflow before you start editing. In this case, better late than never.

Any way to make Motion Effect work in CS3?

I had some problems with animated motion effects in CS2, but now they seem to be even worse in CS3... Along with all the other CS3 problems I've encountered, I'm considering going back to CS2 - but I thought I'd try here first...
With an interlaced video project (NTSC SD) anything (title, photo, or video) that is put in motion using keyframes for the built-in Motion Effect comes out VERY bad.
I tried a test with a clip that is only three frames long, consisting of white box approx. 100x100 pixels (made via Titler) and starting at frame 0, offset horizontally by 360 and at the 3rd frame (frame 2) offset horizontally by 380. (20 pixel shift)
FIRST PROBLEM: Look at the frame 0 and frame 1 in the program monitor at 100%. Now try any other magnification - completely different results!!
SECOND PROBLEM: To export these three frames, I have to set the work area bar to include FOUR frames, because if I animate motion of a clip and then export, the last frame is SOMETIMES not included in the output file. If you're playing along, output five frames just to be sure.
THIRD PROBLEM: Open the clip in Photoshop. (The only application in CS3 that appears to work correctly.) At first glance, frame one appears to be interlaced because of the motion. But it's not. The second field is nowhere near where it should be in time relative to the movement. If you use an actual photo instead of a white box, you can see how badly it's mangled. (Not just fields in wrong position, but badly mangled.)
FOURTH PROBLEM: Frame 1 and 2 (the 2nd and third frame) are also badly mangled.
FIFTH PROBLEM: The fourth frame (frame 3) consists of the the final resting place of the object - BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE THERE AT ALL! (The 4th frame is blank.)
I know, I know, long rant... I'm just getting so fed up with all of the problems with CS3...
Anyway, are there other alternatives that will work on interlaced video??? (For now, I had to create a different project that was progressive, and render to a temp file to import into the interleaved project. It looks better, but not nearly as smooth of motion as it should be.)

Please provide
these details to help us help you.
Cheers
Eddie

"Effects" panel empty/blank in CS6?

I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac OS 10.9.3. Every time I open Adobe Premiere Pro, regardless of the project, the Effects Panel (not the control panel) is empty/blank. There is nothing typed in the search field, and if I do type something or click a type filter icon, the side bar for that panel appears and changes sizes. Creating a new Bin does nothing. Importing Preset does nothing.
From another user account, the effects panel appears normal, so the problem is user specific. I've already had to create another user account from scratch last time I had a problem with the program (instant crash while loading in splash screen), and I really would like to avoid doing this again. I've deleted preferences manually and by starting the program holding Shift+Alt. I've emptied the cache. I've repaired permissions. Same problem persists.

Did things one at a time before, but this time I repaired permissions, then Trashed the 2 Premiere .com preference files and the Premiere and the PProHeadless (the one thing I did not delete before) folders in Preferences>Adobe in the User Library. Trashed the User>Documents>Adobe>Premiere Folder. Then I manually deleted all the Cache folders. Doing it all (or some combination) seemed to do the trick. Effects now show in the panel.

Photoshop launches help file when trying to access effects panel.

I have Photoshop CS6 and sometimes when I double click a layer to bring up the effects panel Photoshop launches the Help library instead with an error message saying I need to re install photoshop to access help???? Yet I was only trying to access the effects panel. The help pages are fine and I can flick through them no problem but when going back into Photoshop I can't click on anything after that and usually have to bring up task manager to end Photoshop. Any suggestions?
Secondly on some occasions when using a tool and it could be a brush or pen etc the section I'm working on completely disappears in a perfect square leaving the rest of my picture intact.
I'm not using large files either when this happens. I noticed the problem occurred after the last CS6 update.

If I uninstall and re install can I just uninstall Photoshop or do I have to uninstall the whole suite?
Gosh - any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Rosa

Adobe has been looking unsuccessfully for this problem literally for decades.
It appears sometimes to be related to the Layer Styles panel. I've personally seen it happen with every version of Photoshop I can remember using, though VERY infrequently. It's happened to me just twice or three times with Photoshop CS6 13.0.0, and not yet with 13.0.1.
There's no known workaround other than to fool with stuff until it just goes away. It may be that changing some of the configuration options or even returning Photoshop's preferences to out-of-box defaults can help. I've even seen cases where updating one's display driver works around it. Do you have ATI Catalyst 12.8?
If you have a sequence of activities you do in which it is reproducible on demand, then I'm sure Adobe would REALLY like to talk to you and get that information.

Effects Panel not working correctly

I have Windows 7 64 bit, Home Premium and using PSE9. When I open PSE in Full Edit and go to the Effects Panel, the Filters work just fine, but the Layer Styles will not open (or show anything) and the Photo Effects will not open ( or show anything). I did rename the MediaDatabase.db3 file as MediaDatabase.old, following instructions given in a PSE9 class I am taking....but have done nothing else with that file, and then is now a new MediaDatabase.db3 file under the "old" listing....so two files there.
I have no idea what to do to correct this....and I did close everything and close PSE and also my PC...let them rest a while, and then restarted the PC and reopened PSE9, and still the Layer Styles and Photo effects did not work. I hope someone can understand my problem and help....in simple "baby steps". Thanks

Should I delete the file named mediaDatabase.old? I am a senior
"dummie" and just want to be sure what you are telling me.
I did delete the editor's pref files....I understand that one.
Thanks for your help.

Motion Effect doesn't always work with Time Remapped clips

Hello all. I used Premiere 4 extensively (yes, '4' not 'CS4') and I'm just getting back in to it with CS6. Lots of cool new stuff to learn but I'm happy to see the basics are pretty much the same!
I'm wondering if anyone has much experience using motion effects on time-remapped clips. If I set 'position' or 'scale' keyframes in the Effect Controls, the changes are not always reflected in the program monitor, depending on the clip. If I try and set keyframes by dragging the video around the program monitor, it puts keyframes in places where I don't expect.
This doesn't affect all time-remapped clips, just some of them. Or maybe it does affect them all, just to varying degrees, depending on how extreme the time remapping is. I'm guessing now.
If I were to speculate further, I would say that the motion effect is operating on the clip before the time remapping gets applied. Again, just a guess, which is why I'm asking if someone more knowledgable has any insights before I pursue this much further..
Many thanks!

Hi Jeff, thanks for your response! Nested clips, you say? I have heard of these things but I can only imagine what they are and how to use them. Sounds like it's time for me to RTFM!
There's so much new stuff, it doesn't surprise me that I have to not only figure out the new feature, but the proper workflow to utilize it. I gotta ask: Do you know of any documents along the lines of "how to use modern premiere from the perspective of an antiquated premiere professional"? 4.2 was my bread and butter for many years and I knew it like the back of my hand. As such, it's kind of hard to stay awake sifting through Adobe's docs which generally assume no prior knowledge; although you giving me a place to start is a big help! But like I said: I gotta ask because it'd be great if there was something just for 'people like me.' (ain't it always the case? )
Again, thank you.

Editing stills with motion effects, performance questions.

I am editing a video in FCE that consists solely of still photos.
I am creating motion effects (pans and pullbacks, etc) and dissolve
transitions, and overlaying titles. It will be played back on dvd
on a 16:9 monitor (standard dvd,not blueray hi-def). Some questions:
What is the FCE best setup to use for best image quality: DV-NTSC?
DV-NTSC Anamorphic? or is it HDV-1080i or 720p30 even though it
won't be played back as hi-def?
How do best avoid squiggly line problem with pan moves etc?
On my G-5, 2gb RAM, single processor machine I seem to be having
performance problems with playback: slow to render, dropping frames, etc
Thanks for any help!

Excellent summary MacDLS, thanks for the contribution.
A lot of the photos I've taken on my camera are 3072 X 2304 (resolution 314) .jpegs.
I've heard it said that jpegs aren't the best format for Motion, since they're a compressed format.
If you're happy with the jpegs, Motion will be, too.
My typical project could either be 1280 X 720 or SD. I like the photo to be a lot bigger than the
canvas size, so I have room to do crops and grows, and the like. Is there a maximum dimension
that I should be working with?
Yes and no. Your originals are 7,000,000 pixels. Your video working space only displays about 950,000 pixels at any single instant.
At that project size, your stills are almost 700% larger than the frame. This will tax any system as you add more stills. 150% is more realistic in terms of processing overhead and I try to only import HUGE images that I know are going to be tightly cropped by zooming in. You need to understand that an 1300x800 section of your original is as far as you can zoom in , the pixels will be 100% in size. If you zoom in further, all you get are bigger pixels. The trade off you make is that if you zoom way out on your source image, you've thrown away 75% of its content to scale it to fit the video format; you lose much much more if you go to SD.
Finally, the manual says that d.p.i doesn't matter in Motion, so does this mean that it's worth
actually exporting my 300 dpi photos to 72 dpi before working with them in Motion?
Don't confuse DPI with resolution. Your video screen will only show about 900,000 pixels in HD and about 350,000 pixels in SD totally regardless of how many pixels there are in your original.

HELP please, missing the Thumbdatabase.db3 file; actions disappear from Effects Panel

I hope someone can help me, I'm totally frustrated and confused. Whenever I install a new action, previously installed actions disappear from the Effects Panel! Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it? Also, I have no ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the folder: Photoshop Elements 7.0/Locale/en_US Shouldn't it be there? Can anyone help me with both these issues? Thanks so much.

TexasErin, you have solved the whole problem!!!! You have me jumping for joy! I've been dealing with this for three days and ready to give up entirely, completely discouraged that no one seemed to know the cause or how to fix this "case of the disappearing actions"! (BTW, I found the missing ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the Photshop Elements\ 7.0 folder. But I had to click the 7 and completely open the folder to see it. It was not visible in the "tree" on the left side of the panel where all the drives/folers are displayed.)
Your answer completely nailed the issues and fixed them! Most helpful was your suggestion to paste actions directly into the Photo Effects folder, and NOT put actions into their own folders in Photo Effects. I made that mistake and had about 3 folders containing actions in Photo Effects. I got rid of them, pasted all the ATN, PNG and XMLs directly into Photo Effects. I deleted the MediaDatabase.db3, started PSE, and waited a minimum of 30 minutes for it rebuild.
That was another piece of very helpful advice you gave -- to wait unitl the rebuilding message disappears, cursor returns to normal, etc. Your entire answer was so clear and precise and right on target, I'm going to print it and hang it on my wall. Are you one of the Adobe Experts? You definitely sound like one, or should be considered one if not! I'm SO grateful, thanks a million!!!
