Premiere doesn't recognize effect presets

[mellorodolfo]

Hi,

I tried importing some effect presets into Premiere Pro and they were not recognized. When I click "import presets" and search for the folder, it comes up empty. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Where are the presets from?

[mellorodolfo]

A coworker sent them to me. He exported them directly from Premiere itself, and sent the files to me, they are free to use.

What version of Premiere Pro do you have and what version are the presets from?

[mellorodolfo]

Both of us use Premiere Pro CC v12.0

Hi.

There must be some error, if when opening the import window you can not find the files, it is because the procedure does not correspond to what you are trying to import.

First you must make sure of what type of file you have:

Preset (effects panel)

File extension * .prfpset

It is imported from the same panel

Export Settings

File extension * .epr

It is imported from the same panel

Panel "Lumetri Color"

File extension * .look

It is imported from the same panel option "Creative"

File extension * .cube - * .itx - and other

It is imported from the same panel option "Basic Correction or Creative"

Check it please.

The file was recognized as XML, and simply changing the format was enough to make Premiere recognize it.

Thanks for the help!

Help! How do you reformat the XML file to PRFPSET? Currently my preset is titled 'Good Bad Titles.prfpset' but somehow is still recognized as XML? How do you change the actual type of file from XML to PRFPSET instead of just the extension at the end of the title?

** Solved my own problem*** for people who don't know - Windows by default will hide the extensions of 'known' file types. Therefore it was hiding the .xml extension so I didn't see it. I found this article which showed me how to change that option so you always see the extension type no matter what.
