Premiere 15.4.1 Never Ending Pinwheel When Opening Project
Recently whenever I opened any Premiere project, I would get the spinning pinwheel of death (MBP 15" 2019, macOS Catalina 10.15.17). I couldn't adjust anything and the only option would be to force quit. After reopening Premiere while holding [option] I could access the project but Premiere would reset to its default settings. I would restore my settings but run into the same problem next time I tried to reopen the project.
I believe I found the issue. I have a second monitor (Dell 27" 4k IPS) that I connect via USB-C. In Premiere, I would have my Adobe Monitor 2 checked for playback. After disabling this, I am able to save and reopen the project no problem. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a better solution than disabling and reenabling the second monitor each time?
