hy guys,
Does anyone know how to have a Pseudo Effect working, even there's no corresponding matchname in PresetEffects.xml? I'm having that alert "Missing" on my custom effects.
Think about Pseudo Effect Maker and Duik, for instance. You don't have to change PresetEffects.xml or even have the plugin installed, to have their Pseudo Effects working.
hope someone can help. thx
The matchname for your effect has to start wtih "Pseudo/", like this:
<Effect matchname="Pseudo/Your Effect Name"...

I think that it the plug in would have to be installed. If not you may want to contact the company who makes the plug in.

wow, so simple, and I was digging into .ffx files to discover the difference.

Following you since, I dont know, 12+ years ago 🙂

Yes, if you start the matchname with "Pseudo/", as described previously.
