Matching client's Effects location

I've got a client who's used FCPX to build an edit and although I have the correct effects they are not put in the same place as the client had them installed. I can't contact the client as they are on a job. Is there anyway to see where FCPX is expecting to find an effect so I can recreate the file structure?

Effect management is something that would be very useful in a future update.

Robert,

You can try my XFX www.spherico.com/filmtools/X-Files/X-FXH...er/XFX%20Install.dmg

Export your project as XML and use the app.
I will give you a list of effects.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks but I've tried this and I'm not having much luck. It's not giving me the paths that it's looking for the fx in (which is what I need). I've added the screenshot below - the Alex4D masks are the issue (he hasn't installed them where Alex suggests). I could redo them but it's to mask out colour blocks and I'd be guessing location, size, etc.

Any suggestions? :-)

Hi Robert,

Seems there is a bug with the report stuff there.
I made a quick hack to display the path in the main window.
Download again.
