Final Cut Pro 3: After Effects Plugin Presets Have No Effect

Some After Effects plugins include several presets settings. In some circumstances selecting those presets has little or no effect.
Symptom

Selecting an After Effect plugin preset produces unexpected results.


Solution

Apple is seeking a solution to this issue. You can avoid this issue by ensuring that frames of the clip you are trying to apply the effect to are not shown in the Canvas or Viewer. You can either close the Canvas and/or Viewer windows or move the playhead in the timeline to another clip.
