Every time I open Premiere Pro, I get the message of Run Script Error - Expected: )

I can't seem to find the solution! Does anyone have an idea about this issue and a possible solution?

does this occur when u just open the program or when u r opening a project?

 

cause i had this error when trying to apply specific effects to footage. the fix was to avoid apostrophes or other special characters / glyphs in both the project (file) name and any footage file name.

I don't understand how that video would apply. 

The run script error likely had to do with the panel code being executed, when bringing in media from the panel.

Adobe said to me to replace my video card with one they have on their "approved" list.  Found here:  https://helpx.adobe.com/in/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html#gpu-acceleration

It happens when the program opens and I have go through and hit the OK button 6 or so times when the program starts.

I just did an upgrade to Windows 10 to allow me to use Adobe CC as it would not allow me to install Premiere Pro under Windows 7 and I have the same error with PP and AE.

PPro and AE haven't supported Windows 7 for some time.

When you say "I have the same error with PP and AE", does error mean the run script error (start of this discussion), or does error mean you can't install onto Windows 7?

I have Windows 10 on an i7.  I called Adobe and they said it was my video card and to go to the Adobe site and see whats video cards were compatible.  Which I think is so silly considering I can run everything else on my $1000 video card.  Granted it is old, but should still be able to be used.  I am not happy.  Especially considering I also had to upgrade to Windows 10 as well.  No wonder people are using macs although I much prefer a PC.  Works fine on my iMac.

I've run into that several times; most often, when I have a typo in the .jsx of my panel's ExtendScript. 

Have any panels installed?

I did a fresh install of premiere pro, and have been getting this error since I first opened the application

Some script is being run, upon launch. Usually, scripts are run from within third party extensions. Do you have any installed?
