Missing plugin on import footage even though I have not yet started my project and I have not used any plugin

Since this afternoon, when I import, I keep having on some of my footage Missing Plugin error message. Even though it is a brand new project and that I am not even using any plugin yet. It took me 3 hours to finally import all my footage without this error message. For instance, here I am importing 3 files from my DJI SD card. Two are working and for one, I keep having "a missing plugin" message. I had the same problem earlier today with some of my 4K footage. For some reason, some had the error message and others not. I have not started my project yet. We are just at the import phase which took me all afternoon.


For the import, I am choosing "Copy to" (working from an external drive).


Thanks in advance for you help.

As unlikely as this is:


Select the DJI_0246.mp4 file in the Event browser and go to Clip > Open Clip. Then see if there's anything listed in the Effects Inspector on the right side above Compositing. It will just be like: one line with a label and a checkbox on the left if there is an effect applied that's missing. If so, you can select it and delete it.


If you accidentally applied a Default Video Effect (default shortcut Option-E) that was an Effects Preset with multiple effects, there may be more than one effect listed. The "missing ones" will just be that one line with no parameters I described above.
