'Remove attributes' not working

I have a video with several different clips which I now can't remove the attributes. I click remove attributes, I click effects, I click OK, absolutely nothing changes and I'm left with audio that sound very 'tinny' from having two 'de-noise' effects on it. Help!

Correct answer Dewey340442071888

glad we figured out a workaround, but remove attributes should work.  Do you select the clip in the timeline and then control click and choose remove attributes?


this solution doesn't help if you have multiple clips you need to delete an effect from

When you select remove attributes everything is selected by default. So if you click on the effects, you're deselecting them from the list of attributes to be removed. So you'd actually need to deselect everything you want to keep - make sense?

 

In my view, it's a slightly counter intuitive UX because you've gone into this function to remove things, so I thnk you really ought to be selecting things to remove, not deslecting things to remain.

    This is the answer! Gosh Ive never come across such a poor UX choice in a product...slightly counterintuitive is a rather an understatement!

    Not sure how it's not intuitive...  It's clear to me which effects are going to be removed because they're checked...  bwdik...    When you've been working with software as long as I have, you'll see many, many worse choices...  And gotta say, there are alot of worse choices in Premiere...  But once you've been working intensively with something like premiere for a while, you start to understand the mindset of the programmers.

      if you select the clip in the timeline and go to effects controls, can you delete the effects or at least unenable them by clicking on the fx icon?

        If I go through effects controls, I can delete them there. I didn't know I could, Thank you!
