  I was currently working on a project that my boss sent me and noticed that my AE stock effect Fill was missing.  Not sure why it was missing in the first place.  However, installing an older version of AE (23.3) and the issue was resolved. I will stay in 23.3 until this issue has been fixed.

Hey @JohnColombo17100380 ,

Thanks for the speedy response and the support.

 

Re-installed 23.4 and went through your direction.  Resolved the issue seeing that the effect was disabled, but not sure how or why that happened.  Thank you for helping me.  I will stay on 23.4 and contact if this happens again.

Appreciate the support.

Hi @WalterAF85,

Thank you for reporting this issue. Could you please check if the Fill effect is enabled in the new Effect Manager in After Effects 23.4? The Effect Manager can be opened via Effects > Manage Effects. You will be able to search for Fill to see if it is enabled.

 

Thanks for reporting this issue and for any further information you can provide,

Thank you for that! It is crazy the effect is turned off in the new versions. I switched back to AE 2.3 because I couldn't find the fix for this easily.
