Constant Invalid Type Conversion Error (Before Importing Anything)

I updated Creative Cloud and Premiere Pro today, but now I’m getting a “Invalid type conversion” error in the Events Window every time I load the program.

 

This happens before I ever import any footage or create a sequence. It’s there waiting for me every time the program opens. What’s causing this?

    You may want to un-install Premiere and re-install it and see the error happens again.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the message and screenshots. Much appreciated. Can you try lanuching with the Shift key held down. From the Reset Options dialog box, enable all the options, then click continue. (caution: resetting preferences does reset customization).
     



    Let me know if that works for you.

     

    Thanks,

    Kevin
