effect settings - update button F5 key doesn't work

[blickensderfer]

Within the effect settings the update button F5 key doesn't work.  Clicking on the button works but pressing the F5 key on the keyboard doesn't.  I just went through updating some of the effects that has new rendering.  Lots of clicking and mouse movements.

I'm running version.2018.42 64bit

Thanks

You're right.  We should remove the "(F5)" text from the button.

It would be nice if it did work.  It would cut down on mouse movements.  I had over 100 effect render updates and it took forever.  F5 key would of cut that time down.

I have never pressed that button. Why do you need to do it so often?

I opened couple sequences from last year and was having some strange issues so I ran the check seq and it had shockwave, strobes, and another effect that needed updated for the new render.  So I had to go through my entire sequence and click on every effect and then click on the update to get the new render.

Yeah hitting the Render All button in the toolbar would have been quicker.  Do you know what that Update button is for?  It does anything if you have multiple effects selected it will make the settings for every selected effect match the primary selected effect.

The render all didn't update them that was the first thing I did was render all and ran the check seq again and the same elements needed update.  The only thing that took care of it was the update button

Effects are supposed to auto-upgrade.  We have code built in for every effect to bring it up to date when you open a sequence.  There were times where we said you have to first open the sequence in an older intermediate version if it was so old it needed a double upgrade.  I've never heard of anyone hitting update on every effect.  What did the message say in the log?

Dont we hit the update button for the value curve message? (only for those flagged in the check sequence log)

I tried what it said and didn't update. then tried render all, nothing, then someon on the facebook group mention about clicking on the update and I tried it and then noticed it cleared that error.  had to do that for every error.

[blickensderfer]

I had one sequence that had 760 errors about contains very old value curve, manually had to update each one.

If you still have a copy with errors ping it to me and I will see what I can do to minimise this.

I've finished that seq but I can send you a backup copy before all the updates.

Has there been a quick fix to correct the error message "ERR: Effect contains very old value curve", being generated on doing a check sequence.  I have a some sequences that I purchased that the errors are in the thousands.
Thanks

As of right now, it's up to awesome developers to resolve it.  I had to manually fix each error. painfully slow process.
