Initializing GPU each time I open a Premier Pro project

Hey guys,

So as of lately, as the title says, I've been getting this pop up each and every single time I open up Premier Pro to continue working on a project. No, it's not a new project, and no it doesn't just pop up once (because of some updates per se).

I must note that I'm running on macOS Monterey 12.6.9 and no updates were made to the systems or drive recently.

This pop up is rather hindering my work and productivity as sometimes it can take up to 15min for it to load and disappear.

Can you please let me know if there's something that I need to change or do in order for this to stop happening? Or if it's just ANOTHER Premier Pro bug that makes me want to leave this software once and for all.

Thanks

Neither of the previous replies actually did anything to answer OP's question. I am experiencing this on a M1 Max Macbook Pro updated to Sonoma 14.6.1 (most up to date as of wiritng) and I am getting the same issue. I have a coworker doing all of our production edits on his 2016 MBP as well with no issues. So I'm inclined to believe that the age of the computer doesnt matter, contrary to what @R Neil Haugen said.

Your situation is different than the OP though. Guaranteed, even if it seems the same, it's going to be a different thing for you than for the OP.

Their machine simply can't work with the current Premiere correctly.

Yours however should work with the current Premiere. Something is bonked and Premiere isn't getting the right data to work properly.

@Warren Heaton10841144 or @Kevin-Monahan some ideas?

That 2016 computer is ancient by computer standards ... I'm wondering if the newer versions of the Adobe video apps can even work with it. Certainly only with the latest updates of your OS and drivers, if then ...
