The effect SmoothCam" failed to render.

I've been working on my feature horror film, which has been going for three years. Suddenly, for no real reason, I am now seeing a message on one of my clips on the timeline. In the viewer, it's reading, "The effect "SmoothCam" failed to render." It has been fine for years, anyone have any ideas why all of a sudden it's giving me issues?

Also, in another timeline in the same project, I made my 90 minute project a self contained clip and then reimported it and added Sapphire's Filmlook and Film Damage and Red Giant's HD Looks, and now it's not acting like I put any filters on. Could there be a link to this?

Thank you for your response and assistance.

Try trashing preferences.

This error message is popping up again, and now it's happening even after I trashed the preferences with Preference Manager. Any suggestions?

Delete the smoothcam filter from the clip, go to the scratch disk and delete the mdtf file, reapply smoothcam and try rendering.
