@NOBITAVFX Tao is a plugin from Maxon, as part of their RedGiant suite: https://www.maxon.net/en/product-detail/red-giant/particles-and-3d/tao

Maxon is aware of this issue and I believe has put out an update to Tao, so you can either uninstall the plugin, or update it, and this should stop the crashing.

Hi @NOBITAVFX,

Welcome back to the Premiere Forums and thank you for reporting this occurrence with a screenshot. The team will need some more information to try to better assist you:

What is the exact version of Premiere you are using?
Please specify your macOS and the system chip version.
Do you have any After Effects media or projects connected to the Premiere project?
- There could be 3rd party plug-ins used in After Effects that is trying to open on launch with Premiere. We suggest trying to clear the cache and disable all plug-in for After Effects and Premiere.
When did this issue begin?
- Was it related to an update or a specific version of Premiere?
Is this the first time this is occurring?

Sorry for the frustration. I hope we can help you soon.

Sincerely,

Jonathan
