Premiere 2020 14.3 - Productions won't open

Question

Anyone expreience this? -> Having this issue where trying to open productions on my system crashes the entire thing. Immediately get a message stating "a serious error has occured" and my work is trying to be saved. I can open regular projects just fine. But even trying to make a new production, putting it on my desktop, and referencing it completely crashes Premiere. Has anyone ever seen anything so specific to only Productions? *There are three of us working in Adobe on a shared storage but I'm the only one having this issue.

MacOS Catalina 10.15.7, using Premiere 2020 14.3 (we can't upgrade for editing reasons)

Any suggestions?

@Assistant5FA6 I'm sorry that's happening. It sounds like an issue we fixed in Premiere Pro 22.0, but you can fix it yourself on your version. There's a certain settings file that if it becomes corrupt or sometimes is just empty (0 bytes), it will crash when opening a Production.

The file is found here: /Users/[USER]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/14.0/Profile-[USER]/Production Panel Settings

Try moving that file to your desktop so that Premiere Pro will create a new one, and let me know if that gets you working again.
