Keylight missing. Please help!!!

Hello AE community, I've been working on AE since more than 10 years now and have never encountered an issue like this. There was an issue on one of my projects regarding keylight a couple of months back and I had to do with another keying effect on it. However, post that Keylight seems to be missing from my effects altogether. I've tried everything from re-installing to moving the plugin folder in the Applications but nothing seems to work. Have attached a couple of screengrabs for reference.

 

Has anyone else encountered such an issue? What's the fix for it? I'm running on an Intel MacOS and the latest version of AE if that helps. Highly appreciate any help. Thanks a ton in advance!

Hi @rishmal,

Thank you for reporting this issue. Is it possible that Keylight has been deactivated in the  Effect Manager? You'll find it under the Effects menu.

 

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

My gosh John!! You're a saviour, it was deactivated indeed. I feel silly trying to solve bigger problems and not checking this basic thing. I was in this tangle since almost a month, and you sir have saved the day for me. Thank you so much!

    I'm glad that was the solution, @rishmal! The Effect Manager was introduced recently (23.4) so it isn't yet the first thing to reach for in these scenarios.
