1. Re: Disabling master clip effect feature (or how to fix this strange behavior?)
R Neil Haugen Oct 23, 2014 8:38 PM (in response to jrwing)I would not personally assume that behavior has anything to do with the Master Clip.That is an *option*, not something that is designed to push anyone into using it. So I would hazard a guess you've got a bug of some kind, unless there's another thread on this I've not seen. PLEASE post such behavior using the bug-report page.

2. Re: Disabling master clip effect feature (or how to fix this strange behavior?)
jrwing Oct 23, 2014 9:10 PM (in response to R Neil Haugen)Here's why I suspect it has something to do with the master clip effect feature:
1. This behavior began immediately after I updated to whichever version of Premiere added that feature (I believe it was earlier this year?)
2. When it happens, the text above the label that says "Video Effects" goes from text name of the clip selected being highlighted (in blue) as in "[Sequence Name] * [clip name]", to now highlighting what says "Master * [clip name]", and that's when I get the blank video effects panel. I don't know if that is clear but it's the best way I understand how to explain what is happening, and why I suspect the master clip feature is inducing this behavior. But I assume you're right, that it's likely a bug and not intended by design.

R Neil Haugen Oct 23, 2014 9:54 PM (in response to jrwing)I haven't seen that behavior. I just went to PrPro, opened two different projects, clicked a clip and my effects panel was just there ... as I've always seen it. There's a "Master Clip" tab to the left of the tab with the clip name, but ... my system opens the clip-named tab as expected ...
Your system's doing something strange on you perhaps ...

4. Re: Disabling master clip effect feature (or how to fix this strange behavior?)
jrwing Oct 23, 2014 10:46 PM (in response to R Neil Haugen)Actually I've noticed this behavior on various workstations (mac) on any kind of projects in various post houses, right after that update, so it's definitely something funky with PrPro that corresponds to that update for whatever reason.
Okay, so I am curious if I can have you recreate the issue: What happens when you select a clip in which you haven't applied any effects in your timeline, and you see the clip-named tab as expected, but then go select "Motion" to twirl it down? (I've actually noticed this behavior exclusively on clips in which I haven't applied any effects or twirled the arrow down... if I've already made adjustments or twirled the arrow on say the motion tab previously, when I return to that clip this behavior no longer happens)
Just to show be more clear of what is happening and to show you I'm not totally crazy, I took a screen recording of what I mean.
And again, I re-iterate that this has been the case on many workstations, so I'm guessing it is a bug, at least in the mac version (just want to get to the bottom of it before submitting a report). Thanks!
