Sapphire Plugins can't be keyframed on adjustment layers

Report · Jun 21, 2023

Some effects from the Sapphire plugin set (BorisFX), like S_Shake, can't be keyframed properly if the effect is on an adjustment layer.

The effect works normally if it doesn't have any keyframes on it, but the issue is that if I try to keyframe any of the values, it only holds the value of the first keyframe (like there were none at all). I also tried making a preset with the keyframes I wanted, and this showed no effect completely. I first went to the BorisFX forums, since they are the creators of the plugins, and they told me that the issue was on Adobe's end, and that it has been an issue for a while. PLEASE fix this, as it adds a lot of hassle and requries a lot of nesting to work around.

I want to mention that some of my friends have the same plugins, and do not suffer from this issue, so if anyone knows if there is some setting I can change to fix this, please let me know!

I am using the latest version of Premiere Pro (23.5) and the latest version of Sapphire (2023.5). I am on Windows 11 22H2

Maybe it's related to that bug introduced in 23.5:

I tried downgrading the project to previous versions of 23 (23.4,23.3,23.1) and that didn't fix the issue. The BorisFX forums said that this has been a bug for years.
