The fill effect is missing in my version 26.2.1. Have you encountered the same issue? Yes, I checked the Effects Manager: none of them are disabled.

    I've found the solution! If you can't find an effect, open another file that contains the effect you're looking for; if it's been renamed, it will appear under its new name.
    That's exactly what happened with this “fill” effect—it was simply renamed. It's now called “Fond” in French, I think you can try “Background” in English.

    For further informations, I am on Mac Sonoma 14.8.2 version.

    Hi Cha57,

     

    I’ve branched your comment into a new thread.

    Can you share more details? Are you on Mac or Windows? Did you try to search for the “Fill” effect in the Effects Manager? Note: You need to uncheck “Only Show Third-party Effects” in the Effects Manager.

    Let me know how it goes.

     

    Thanks,

    Nishu
