Recently my Hard drive completely failed, and the backup I had on an external drive refused to reinstall, so I have had to do a complete reinstall of everything on my computer

Attached are a couple of clips merged together from videos created previously before the crash

I am trying to identify the two effects used in the clips so that I can re-download them

I have been trawling through the effects on the website but not been able to track them down so am wondering if anyone can help me find them

Thanks in hope
Andrew

You may have some luck in openeing the PDS project file in a text or XML editor like Notepad++.

Sometimes, downloaded effects like that have generic names inside PD projects, like "object_001," but other times they retain the name of the actual downloaded item, as shown in this XML code section:

Thanks for this information which will certainly be useful for the future.

Sadly on this occasion it was one of the projects lost when my drive stopped working, I only had access to the video as I had uploaded it onto the internet previously

best wishes
Andrew

Try searching for "particle" and look within the next couple of lines for a likely name and see if you can find that on the DZ website.
