Question

Trying to use a downloaded FFX file but I am "missing effects". Please help

I am very new to this, but i recently bought after effects and downloaded an FFX file to use as a filter on pictures/videos. When I add the preset effect to the video it says,

 

"This favorite contains references to missing effects. Please install the following effects to restore these references. 2 Missing Effect References. 1)"Looks" 2)"S_Gradient" " 

 

I have been searching everywhere to fix it.Are these like plugins from a random 3rd party? Any idea?

 

Appreciate the help.

Thanks

"Looks" is Magic Bullet Looks by Maxon.

"S_Gradeint" is part of BorisFX Sapphire.

The trial versions of each should work with the Effect presets.

They are not „random“, but yes, they are commercial third-party plug-ins you have to subscribe to separately - Magic Bullet Looks from Red Giant/ Macon and Sapphire from Boris FX.
