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.

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.

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.

Thanks,

"This project contains a sequence that could not be opened."

Hello everybody.
I have a problem with my premiere C6. Whenever I tried to open a specific project (the one I am working on), the follow message pops up and I cannot access the project. Even when I open premiere and "open recent"
Here's the message:
"This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
I don't know what to do. One day everything is fine, the next one I can't work.
Please help.
Thank you in advance.

I've only recently updated to Premiere Pro CC and had a similar issue.
When opening a CS6 file in CC2014, I received this alert:
"The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom setting instead..."
The file would open and I was able to make changes and even save seemingly without any issues. However, when I attempted to open the file again, I was given the alert that you posted here:
"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 problem seemed to originate when a "custom setting" was generated for CC2014 to open the project.
What I did to fix the issue was AS SOON AS I OPENED the older version in Premiere CC, I would immediately go to the Sequence Settings for EVERY sequence in the file and create my own custom settings based on my project. Once that was done, I could begin working on the project and it would save and open without issue. This only needs to be done the first time you open an older version of your project before making any changes or saving the file.
I discovered that the "Custom Setting" that is originally generated when converting the older version to the new, created a funky "Video Preview" size of 16x16 pixels. Once I put all the settings in order, Premiere CC was happy again.
Still haven't figured out a fix for the random crash during operation and the almost guaranteed crash when quitting Premiere from the top menu bar.
PS Mark Mapes, I did try the fixed that you linked to in your post but they did not do the trick for me. Is there any updated you know of on the horizon? Thanks.

Avid AAF into Premiere works until "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened."

I'm exporting an audio timeline from Avid to an AAF. I chose to copy and convert all the audio media into .WAV files, to place on a new harddrive and to provide a readable format for Premiere/Audition; (I read that Audition doesn't import AAF, but Premiere does, and can transfer to Audition.)
Importing this AAF into premiere seems to work - it apparently links to the media and uses the AAF edl to create a new sequence, but before the import is successful I get the error message:
"Fire Import Failure
C:\[path]\PicLockAvidAudioTimelineExport.prproj
Error Message
This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
What I don't understand is that this apparently refers to a premiere project sequence - prproj. Why is Premiere having trouble importing an AAF created from Avid?
Using Premiere at school, I can import the AAF just fine. I'm using Premiere CS5 at home.
Thank you!

Try installing the Avid software codecs on your home machine.
Cheers

"This project contained a sequence that could not be opened" adobe premiere pro cc

HI everyone. I am using adobe premiere pro cc, but it is giving be headache almost every other day. When I open a file, once out of two times, I have this message: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened", and this is annoying as it blocks all my work and I start waiting time trying to solve the issue, the live chat is not available and all the solutions offered here send me to do things that waste my time even more, and two days later, the same problem comes back. can anyone help, please?
Thanks

Thanks a lot Ann, but this is becoming really annoying! How many times per week should I uninstall, clean up and then reinstall this app?
In my "Help" thing, there is no "Help > Deactivate", so I can't choose the option 1.
Option 2 seems too complicated for me, the only option left to me is the option 3, but the problem keeps coming back!

This project contained a sequence that can't be opened.

Receiving the following error message when I try to open a file in which I previously merged sound and video files:
"This project contained a sequence that can't be opened..."
I'm running Adobe CS5.5.2. Any help would be appreciated.

"This often occurs when you no longer have the chosen preview codec installed on your system. Like when you started out with AJA or BlackMagic, or some other non-standard preview codec."
I wish my system was that sophisticated but just running stock items included with the computers. No peripherals.

This project contains a sequance that could not be opened

I am getting this error on Premiere CS6:
"this project contains a sequance that could not be opened"
And I can´t open projects. Tried to shift+alt and open but it happens again after I close.
Any idea on this?

This is the error message.
I can open CS5,5 files and work with them If I save them for CS6 and try to re-open I get this error. I get this when opening.
I have no idea what 3rd party compenents it is talking about. Can I see that somewhere?

"this project contained a sequence that could not be opened. no sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type"

So, i have ran though these forums for the past 5 hours to find an answer to this error. Nothing is working. (on mac with CC2014)
I have tried uninstalling all of CC and reinstalling
I have used the Adobe Cleaner
Signed out of Creative Cloud Desktop and signed back in
Opened a new sequence and imported the old one (this allows me to work with the file once, but if i try to open the new sequence it gives me the same message)
Whats really messed up is that another machine in the office has been able to open it. We are on the same versions
And please excuse this last part, its a bit of venting my frustrations.
Why is there no troubleshooting hotline? I went through the support page a couple of times before realizing it was just looping back to itself and offering no solution other than reading the forums. The instant messaging and support phone line are only for installing and purchasing products. I understand that filtering everyone to the forums is a convenient way to save time and money but i'm now out of resources to read and have gotten no where with no idea of how to proceed. pages like https://forums.adobe.com/message/4626663#4626663#4626663 offer no help because they don't actually address the issue of missing codecs, only how to sign out of Creative Cloud Desktop.

Hi Aaron,
The issue that you are facing is related to activation.
Please go to the system library on the computer-application support-Adobe and rename the SLStore and SLCache folder.
Relaunch Premiere Pro and check if it works or not.
In case this doesn't fix the issue, then go to the desktop screen, click GO on the top-Go to folder, type /etc
Then find the hosts file and see if there are any Adobe Entries, Please remove those entries and save the Hosts File.
Thank You
Arjun

Hi jaylsmith28,
Welcome to the forums.
Please check the below link and follow the instructions. Also, please check whether the premiere pro has the latest version installed or not.

This project contained a sequence that could not be opened.

I don't understand when I worked on my project earlier. The first time it happened I restarted my computer and it worked fine. Now it is not working.

Hi,
Try this:
Sign out from the Creative Cloud app and Quit it (Quit option will be available after a few seconds).
Now move the following folders to desktop:
1) SLCache
Windows: OS Drive\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
2) SLStore
Windows: OS drive\ProgramData\Adobe
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
3) OOBE
Windows: OS Drive\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe
Mac: /User/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Now launch Premiere Pro and sign in with your Adobe ID. Create a New Project > New Sequence and if you will have 17 preset folders, you will not see any error message while opening your earlier project.
NOTE: Make sure your Anti Virus/Firewall is not blocking any Adobe activation servers. Alternately, you can also check your 'hosts' file for any changes.
Thanks,
Rameez

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...

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.

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.
