Video Filter Missing – Remove “PC” Premiere Pro CC Effect on Mac
Hi,
I am taking over a feature doc project from another editor. I don’t have access to them/their equipment. They were editing on a PC, Premiere Pro CC. I am now editing it on my Mac Pro, and installed Premiere Pro CC.
Everything linked up, have the project sorted out – but there’s a video filter missing. I get a warning every time I open the project. I googled, and I understand that it’s missing because not all the video effects are the same between the PC / Mac version.
My question is: How do I find where this effect was used throughout this project (2 hours long) to remove it. I am new-er to Premiere, normally edit on Avid MC7 or Final Cut 7. Is there a ‘find’ function for Effects?
Error says:
/Users…./…/name.prproj
Video Filter Missing: PR.ADBE Lens Distortion
Thanks.

They apparently used the Lens Distortion effect, which is available only on the PC version, not on Mac unless it’s bee added recently. You can probably ignore the warning, or if it really bugs you, try to find the clips that they effect was applied and remove it.

If there is no way to do this, you should file a feature request with Adobe,ask for a global feature removal, all tracks. I’d be sort of surprised if there is no way to do this.for example, can’t we globally remove all effects on a sequence? All crossfades at once?

I just had the same problem where I’d used a third party effect that I no longer have access too, so found this thread looking for a solution.
There’s no one-click solution that I could find, but I did work out a solution. Export the project as a XML file, then in the Translation Report file (because it doesn’t know how to deal with the effect) it will be listed as a “not translated” issue, it will tell you what timeline the effect is used on, video layer and time-code etc. Basically everything you need to be able to track it down. There will be a lot of extra lines that you can ignore, but a Cmd+F search will let you narrow it down easily enough.
Hope that helps.

Dear James Goodenough.
Thank you SO much for this. I would never came to this idea, regardless I know the issue of Final cut XML export. You are a time saver.
I had to render project on spare machine not having filters on. Searched for one clip as needle in the barn.
I love internet and that is why I always help others where I can.

Ridiculous they haven’t fixed this. The project opens and tells you there is stuff missing but not the frame numbers!
Anyway I wanted to pass on a new trick I just came up with. Choose Find in the menu and search Effects that contain ( parenthesis. It will take you to the (missing) effect!
