filters and effects not working
by Atari Norris on Oct 1, 2007 at 6:30:50 pm

In FCP 5.1.4, I have a very large project that has a lot of effects in it. The other day, all the effects worked fine. Today however, when I opened the project, the same effects don't work. When I go to the filters tab, they're all still there. But when I add new masks, they don't show up even after they're rendered. If I apply new effects, nothing shows up no matter how much I adjust it.

Trash your preferences and see if it fixes it.

All the best,

Thanks. How do I trash preferences? I can't seem to figure it out.

I figured out how to trash my preferences. Unfortunately it didn't fix the problem. The effects still aren't showing up. Any other ideas? Thanks!

Be sure to check the other forums where you have posted this same question. Maybe one of them has an answer for you.

I'm having the same problem. I've been using FCP for 5 years, never seen this one. I am currently using FCP 5.1.4 on a MacBook Intel 2Ghz Core 2 Duo. OS 10.4.11, 1 GB Ram.
Effects and filters were working, then one day I noticed they weren't working. The basic transitions work, dissolves, etc. But no color correction, no audio filters. You can place the effect on the clip, but it has no "effect" at all.
Trashing preferences doesn't fix this, as you found out.

Did you ever find out what happened? I'm about to re-install FCP.

Thanks,

Jacquie

I ended up re-installing FCP.... which worked, for a couple of weeks...now, here I am AGAIN!!!!

Did anyone ever figure this out? Re-installing isn't the solution. :-/
