"openfx plugins have been disabled..."

I am getting the following error message on Resolve Lite 11.1.3 and 11.2.1 when Resolve Lite starts:

"OpenFX plugins have been disabled due to error when loading..."

Then, when i am trying to re-enable them by clicking the OFX button on the Color screen, Resolve Lite crashes.

OS is Windows 7 64bit

Any ideas?

Did you try to re-install them?

Aren't plug-ins disabled on the Lite version?

Yes i uninstalled (and not reinstalled) all the new OFX plugins i had installed since the last time i used Resolve. I also updated NeatVideo to the last version.

Resolved used to work with OFX plugins. It is Fusion Lite that doesn't.

You have a plugin which is crashing resolve. You will have to disable them one at a time to identify which is the bad/incompatible plugin.

That was apparently correct.

I uninstalled all OFX plug-ins and restarted Windows. Resolve initialized correctly. In my previous post i said that after uninstalling all OFX plug-ins the problem remained but after a Windows restart, Resolve didn't return that error message again.

For everyone else who has the same problem i checked the following:

OFX Neat Video 3.6
OFX Frischluft LensCare

...and they are NOT causing the problem. So don't bother uninstalling those.

I'm having the same problem. However, I have not installed any OFX plugins for Davinci Resolve.

When I click the FX button at the color page Resolve locks up instead of crashing.

I do have OFX plugins installed for and specific to Vegas Pro.

I have this same issue. I had Universe in there and thats it. Uninstalled Universe and resolve, reinstalled just Resolve. Same problem even though there are no OpenFX plugs.

Btw I found something regarding this issue... In case someone needs it... I uninstalled plugins and it didnt help. Then I realized its probably because of some cache or something like that. There were no plugins in the system anymore but still the same bug.

After a while I found this file:

C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\Davinci Resolve\Support\OFXPluginCache.xml

I simply deleted this file and it solved the problem. Next start was OK and Davinci created a new cache file for itself.

I have the same problem on OS X (not lite version), beta 1 was fine with OFX, beta 2 NOT.
I deleted this cache file but it didn't help.

With OSX where should an OSF plugin be installed?

I have a "Neat---.bundle" that I assume is its OSF plugin. Assuming it is the plugin, what is the path here it should be placed?

I don't see a plugin folder as part of Resolve.

If this .bundle is not an OSF plug-in -- any advice?

This is what worked for me. I actually still had the Resolve window open (Not Responding) then went into ProgramData and deleted the file and immediately Resolve snapped back to life. Thanks so much for this!

Does anyone know where the Mac version of this file is located? Resolve 12.5 just started doing this today, with no changes made on my end.

If you are not using the App store version, it's here:

Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/OFXPluginCache.xml

Hello I'm getting this problem about OFXeffects disabled too.

When I'm on the color panel then click the OFX button, resolve crashes.
I deleted Resolve and re installed it, same problem. I'm using the version I purchased from the App Store. V 12.5
OS: Mac OS Sierra.

In the Library I cannot find an files/ folder to delete that people are talking about above.

Any help appreciated.

I just had this problem with DR14.3 & Win10Pro. I tried removing all the OFX plugins (located in Program Files>Common Files>OFX>Plugins), relaunching DR only to find the same problem. So I put the OFX plugins back in.

After launching DR again, I went to the color page, clicked the OpenFX button in the upper right, and, as usual, it appeared as though DR crashed. But it's not crashing; it's loading the OpenFX plugins (what we might regard as "slowly"). After a couple minutes of letting it sit (longer if you have a lot of OpenFX plugins), Resolve came back to being functional.

In your Google searches, you'll also see some folks talk about deleting the OFX Cache File (C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support). That may or may not work for you. In my case, I didn't have that file because OpenFX never loaded for me (my DR install is recent).

Dave Harrison. I believe you are correct. I had the same problem and after selecting ENABLE on the OpenFX tab and just waited...Now I'm good. Thanks!!
