All the effect controlls are gone

[AndrewTheGreat]

I got a project file in which all the clips have no effect controls except for time remapping - the rest is gone. 

This is what I see:

This is what I should see:

What I tried:

- copypaste the files from the seqience into a new one. 

- copypaste all the timeline elements into a new project

- reset the workspaces, switch between the workspaces

- reset Premiere Pro Settings

- clear all the cache files both manually and in the Preferences -> Media Cache

- open this project file on different machines (Mac\PC) and different versions of Premiere Pro.

The only way to fix it so far is manual clip-by-clip replacement of everything that lies on the timeline - new clips placed do have all the effect controls. The problem is - this is only part of a bigger project and the whole project has hundreds of clips, so manual work will take ages...

Here's the partly project:

Any ideas of what happened and how to fix it at the lowest possible cost?

I don't know what's going on here, but one standard trick you could try is to import this project into a new project. 

I know you pasted the sequence into a new project, but the import process may do something else. Can't hurt to try while waiting for someone with a good idea to come along.

Just drag them again onto the timeline: issue solved.

I sometimes think people don't see what is written in front of them...

@Rag and Bone Importing doesn't work either, you can check yourself, the project file is included in the first message

"I know you pasted the sequence into a new project, but the import process may do something else. "

Honestly, why should I open you project file and search through it? You didn't list that as something you tried. But, whatever, I  don't need to get grief for trying to help

You can fix it by creating a new timeline, click the "Insert and owerwrite..." icon in the new timeline and then drag the timeline named FILM from the Project panel into the new timeline.

When i do that all individual clips and edits will be inserted into the new timeline and all properties, Motion/Rotation/Anchor Point, etc, etc are back.

Question: Your source footage is 50 fps, why do you edit it in a 25 fps timeline?

@Averdahl,

Bingo!

Even with many sequences, I like that approach. I don't know what created this problem, but very little works that would not require individual clip/edit replacements - and replace from bin does not work.

The other thing that "works" is export FCP XML, but I never trust that it gets everything right.
