Can't Apply Effects Preset in Mac (but can in Windows)

richardsatoru

Hello, big fan of this tool.

I am unable to add Effects Presets as a command using Mac. This issue occurs both in the Excalibur settings menu as well as in the timeline using the command bar (unsheathed).

Using Excalibur version 1.2.2 on a MacBook Pro M2 Max.
Running Premiere version 23.2.0 (build 69)

My Windows PC doesn't have this issue (running same Premiere and Excalibur), so I'm wondering if this is a Mac-only issue? I didn't find anything online or in this forum about it.

Any advice or help finding the answer is much appreciated, thanks.

Are you trying to apply effect preset, but it is not working?
Is it listed in Excalibur?

Yes, that's correct.

It is not listed in Excalibur's search or in user commands on Mac (but it does work on my Windows setup).

Do you have "refreshing presets..." text when you open Excalibur search bar?
How big is your presets file? You can find it here:

Mac: /Users/**username**/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/23.0/Profile-CreativeCloud-/Effect Presets and Custom Items.prfpset
Win: C:\Users\**username**\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\23.0\Profile-CreativeCloud-\Effect Presets and Custom Items.prfpset

I'm happy to report that the issue seems to be gone now. My guess is that my recent installation of Excalibur on my Mac required a reboot of either Premiere or my computer (which I don't think I did).

Basically, turning it it off and on again fixed it (how embarrassing!).

Thanks for your assistance. If you have further questions I'm happy to provide info.

richardsatoru great! I'm glad it is resolved.
