This will allow to correctly browse all effects available on your system. This bug, introduced in Final Cut Pro 11.1.1, implies that Search filters are not reliable indicators of whether an effect is in fact capable of supporting 4K or Wide Gamut HDR.

At the time of this writing, third-party effects are capable of rendering in Wide Gamut HDR if the template is explicitly saved as a Wide Gamut HDR template (true for native plug-ins such as FxFactory Pro, Photo Montage, etc.) or if the template is set to Automatic color processing (true for the vast majority of products based on Motion.)

Thankfully, this bug only affects filtering in the effect browser. The ability of plugins or templates to to work in 4K and HDR is unaffected.
