Bad argument: couldn't find effect named...
Posted: March 26th, 2008, 10:28 pm
Excuse me if this is not the right spot for this question. I am getting an error that I can't figure out. As I work through the "AE Apprentice" book, I get errors: they all take this form when I apply an effect to a layer:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"After Effects warning: Bad argument: couldn't find effect named 'Stretch Master Control'
Expression disabled.
Error occurred at line 1.
Comp: '11-Adjustment Layers*starter'
Layer: 3('Adjustment Layer 1')
Property: 'Blurriness'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of 'Stretch Master Control' above, I've seen these errors too:
'Fly to Inset' where the property is 'Position'
'Rotate Over Time' where the property is 'Rotation'
'Slide Master Control' where the property is 'Position'
'Wiggle - gelatin' where the property is 'Skew'
And finally
''Wigglerama' where the property is 'Position'
Question: I don't know enough to have changed any scripts or code. What am I missing here? Has something not gotten installed correctly?
Thanks for any hints!
