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.

Yes, forgot to say, tried that, works perfectly. I’m just more concerned why Dynamic Linking is suddenly not working, I’ve become a bit too used to it.

Why add a transparent video track in PP?
I’ve recently jumped to PP from FCP and still use the same method to export TC edits.Embed the timeline you want exported into a new timeline, as it is now shows as a single element rather than loads of edit points, drop a TimeCode Generator filter on it and export.
But you’re right, I did a test and Media Encoder is at 3x faster than Compressor. Even when I’m working on legacy projects in FCP now, I’ll use Media encoder.

It worked!

Thanks, don’t worry “for sounding like this” blunt and to the point answers work better with me.
I’ve only just moved away from DV, it looks like I made the mistake of thinking they were just individual digital files and not part of a “tape”.
I’ve been using the camera for a few weeks now and have only just started using the PHU, up until now I was just using the SxS. A few days before I made the same mistake and copied the clips over using the camera itself, but that would (obviously, with hindsight) also modify the
MEDIAPRO.XML.I guess I’ll have to put this one down to experience. It does all make sense really.
