Digital Anarchy Flicker Free 2.1 Plugin not showing up in Adobe Premiere Pro 2024 v24.5.0 (Build57)

[jonathand56413940]

My Flicker Free Plugin doesn't seem to be showing up in the Effects panel in Premiere Pro as it has done previously. I'm a Windows 10 user. I've tried updating Premiere to the latest version (V24.5.0 (Build57)), tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Plugin and it still isn't showing up. Can anyone help?

HI @jonathand56413940 - What Flicker Free version are you using, Can you try the latest version 2.2.4? Just to confirm if you type "Flicker" in the effects panel you are saying that you do not see the plugin in the Digital Anarchy folder?

You can also try holding down shift while opening Premiere and check the box "Reset plugin loading cache"

Hey Jamie, 

Its Version 2.2.4 of Flicker Free, which I believe is the most current. I'm talking to Digital Anarchy currently as well to see if they've got a fix from their end, but nothing yet. 

And yes, it doesn't show up in the Effects panel if you type "flicker", "digitial anarchy", etc. 

Any thoughts?

Interesting.  I would try these steps: Close Premiere,  Launch Flicker Free Installer, Let it finish installing, start a new project, import some media, and then try searching the effects panel for the plugin.

Awesome that you are in contact with DA, hopefully they can find a solution on their end.

Unfortunately, I've tried those steps a couple of times now and its still not showing up.

Premiere Plugin Location is at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-Ins\7.0\Mediacore\

When you run the installer you can Browse to your desktop let the installer install the folder and then manually move it to the Premiere Plugin Location.

It seems when you first run the installer it acts as an uninstaller before installing, I wonder if there is some weird bug there.

Thanks Jamie! 

I've actually found the issue, Digital Anarchy pointed it out. The Effect was disabled for some reason. So I have renabled it the Effects window, this is from them:

The effect probably got disabled in Premiere. Click the menu at the top of the Effects panel (the 3 horizontal lines) and select Manage Video Effects. You should see Flicker Free here -- check the Enabled box next to it to re-enable it.

It seems to be working now, but I'm unsure why it was disabled in the first place.
