  • Issue with mapping AE Effects

    Posted by Matt Hicks on May 16, 2006 at 10:00 pm

    Hi!

    I have just taken a new position, and have been asked to revisit a project completed last year using AE v6. Since then, we’ve upgraded to v.6.5.1, and when opening the project files for it, I am getting the following error:

    This project contains references to missing effects. Please install the following effects to restore these references. (“FE Toner”)

    My understanding is that the ‘new’ equivalent effect is found in Effects|Image Control|CC Toner, but I still get the above error.

    I have searched the knowledgebase, and found a couple of articles addressing similar issues (https://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/310114.html, /324150.html) but neither of these present a useable solution for me.

    Is there a ‘replace plugin’ option I’ve missed somewhere? *grin*

    I’ve tried posting on the Adobe AE forum, but haven’t had any luck. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

    Cheers,

    Matt

    Nope. I believe somewhere on AEnhancers.com or redefinery.com there’s a script that can generate a report of which effect is used on which layer. This might at least help you to track down the suspects.

    Thanks very much for the advice. It’s certainly better than trying it blind!

    Cheers,
