Question

Effects not working on linked footage

Hello all,

 

When applying effects to my linked footage, nothing happens. I have MP4 proxies stacked on top of matching DPX footage (my usual workflow), but this time effects are not affecting the clips. I see the effects in the effects control window as applied, I cleared my media cache, I am on the most recent Premier, I restarted everything, still no luck. 

 

Please help!

Wild guess: turn off Global FX mute.

Good guess for sure, unfortunately not the global fx toggle.

How are you linking the clips and why are you not attaching the proxies using the proxy workflow?

Hi there,

Welcome to the community! To understand the issue you are experiencing, could you please confirm if you are using the proxy workflow of Premiere Pro or if you are manually placing the proxy media on a track above the original media? Also, are the effects applied to the proxy media? We're here to help, just need more info.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

Thank you, Sumeet!

 

I am manually placing the proxies on top of the raw clips and linking the two together. In the past I have been able to add effects and change the framing to the linked clips, however now the effects are not doing anything.
