Unable to launch Premiere Pro Beta 25.6 on Mac OS 13.7.8

Simply put, can't get past the splash screen. It won't launch and won't return an error message for me to post, simply vanishes halfway through loading. I can see the Adobe Crash Reporter icon show up for a second then go away.

Unfortunately after updating Red Giant Universe I'm still seeing the Beta crash upon calling Tao

Hi @BrianLevin - I saw Red Giant posted an update today. Would you be able to download it and let us know if you are still having issues?

Red Giant "Tao" I removed the plugin, Premiere Pro Beta opened. 👍 MacOs Sequoia 15.6.1

Yes, partly stubborness and partly because while I am an avid follower of all things Adobe and release notes and forums, I admit I don't do a good enough job following up on what is happening with Apple updates. So 13.7.x is super stable and I have no issues, and I'm honestly just nervous to upgrade to a new OS and then have to troubleshoot if something in Premiere starts acting strangely. I am working all day every day and I need Premiere to function, whereas last time I bought new computers, while I was busy, I wasn't as busy as I am now so maybe I felt less pressure to make sure my software was functioning at my ideal 100%. So in my day to day, upgrading the OS feels like a big decision that could have consequences if it messes with, say, a plugin.

 

I have, in years prior, typically kept my machine on the OS it came with, just doing security updates, until I replace the machine, but I do think I may jump to the current OS next time I have a break between projects as I don't see myself updating either of my work machines urgently.

Hi @BrianLevin - I’m curious you can of course use whichever OS version you prefer, but I was wondering if there’s a reason you’re still on 13.7.8?

I'm having the exact issue and I'm using windows 10. The "normal" version loads fine but the Beta won't open at all. I even tried clearing preferences, not loading third-party plugins, clearing cache, etc.

And more good news, I can just hold Shift to bypass loading third party plugins, thus skipping Tao, and it launches Premiere Beta. So it's not preferences or cache that's the issue from what I'm gathering, I don't really want to have to wipe either of those if I can avoid it.

Okay so I started with just resetting plugin loading cache because I don't especially want to mess with things that could potentially impact my deadlines today and that was a low lift effort to start with. News is that upon attempting to load Premiere Beta 25.6 I was able to see the plugins loading and sure enough the second is got to Tao is crashed out.

Hi @BrianLevin - Thanks for your help troubleshooting.  We have seen some issues lately with Red Giant mainly the "Tao" plugin.
