No motion option under Effect Controls?

I have never seen a clip not have motion under the effect controls (in source monitor) until today. I don't have access to the motion drop down arrow on some clips. So I can't change position, rotation, scale, etc.

What might be causing this and how do I correct it? Thanks!

     Bit late to the party, but if anyone is searching for this issue, I had it.. turns out there's a setting needs to be checked, bottom right of the source window (and this still) make sure it's set to 'show all properties'

    It turns out that this kind of thing happens in 2025 too. Selecting filters, restarting, or importing didn't help.

    Using any clip that contained a "Motion" section, I created a Preset and then dropped it onto a clip without a "Motion" section. This added the missing parameters.

        I've had this issue with certain effects disappearing too, but after closing a bunch of panels and then going to Window -> Effect Controls everything was back to normal.

          Try resetting the preferences:

          FAQ: How to reset preferences in Premiere Pro?

          If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:

          Reset a workspace

          Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.

          1. Do one of the following:
            • Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
            • Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

          from here:

          If that doesn’t work ,try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site.

            Thanks Bob, but I reset the workspace to a saved layout and rolled back the drivers a few versions and I'm still not seeing motions under effect controls. That other issue I'm having with the volume didn't correct itself either. They may be related. I see the volume option seems to be missing under effect controls for some audio clips as well.

            Reinstall might be in order.
