Question

The 1st implementation of a third-party effect or transition takes up to 10 seconds to load

The thing I noticed in the current v25 of Premiere Pro is that all the third-party plugins with effects or transitions now take up to 10 seconds to load for the first time. Then they apply instantly but the very first implementation of any of them takes this long.

I first thought it might be connected with the fact that Premiere Pro is now version 25, it's new so the plugins also should be all up to date though there's never been anything like this in the previous versions of Premiere Pro efven if I used really old versions of third-party plugins. So to check my theory I installed the newest 2025 version of the Film Impact plugin pack and the BorisFX Continuum. Guess what - the ploblem is still there even with the newest versions of those plugins. So I am convinced it's Premiere Pro's new mechanism that makes the plugins take so much time to load for the first time.

Of cource I tried resetting Pr's preferences (the plugins cache including), clearing cache, reinstalling both Pr and the plugins, nothing helps. For the final check I installed the 24.6.3 version of Premiere Pro and there's no such problem there - all the plugins load instantly no matter what version they are.

Steps to reproduce:

Open Premiere Pro, create an empty project, import any media, go to effects, choose and apply any third-party effect - wait. In this video below it's clearly seen that the first time an effect is applied it takes Premiere Pro very long to load it. But all the other implementations of any other effect from this same pack or folder the effects are applied instantly. Don't pay attention to the worning message from the first effect that it shuold be used in Ae, it doesn't matter.

Also pay attention to how long it takes Premiere Pro to load a new empty project. I think it may be connected.

Premiere Pro 25, i7 14700K, RTX 4080, 64 Gb Ram, fast SSDs only, Win11 23h2

Okm @jamieclarke I will. But don't Adobe communicate with the plugins' devs via their private channels of some sort?

Hi @AndrewTheGreat - That is a great question.

Premiere Pro is constantly evolving to improve performance, efficiency, and functionality for our users. These changes occasionally involve updates to the internal architecture or workflows, which may affect the compatibility of third-party plugins. To ensure continued compatibility, plugin developers may need to update their software to align with the latest version of Premiere Pro.

If you do hear back from Boris please let us know what they say.

This is what they emailed me today:

I sent them all the info and checked their plugins behavior in Pr 24 and with the Mercury renderer as well (no luck). Version 23 though had no such issue, checked it too

Yes, I emailed BorisFX and wrote a bugreport but they have kept silent for a week and never responded.

So I checked the beta - the same issue:

So if it is the devs' issue how come it worked perfectly in Premiere Pro 24.6.

HI @AndrewTheGreat -

You say: "Red Giant plugins have no such issue, Premiere Pro's own effects and transitions also apply the moment you drop them, the Satori, Rowbyte, Zaebects plugins als are instantaneous"

Have you contacted Boris and asked if they have reports of such behavior? This sounds like a developer plugin issue that possibly Boris and Film impact are doing the same thing.

Have you tried the beta version of Premiere Pro yet?

You should pay attention to the fact that Premiere Pro itself starts as it should, without a delay. The problem is not about starting Premiere Pro, it's about Premiere Pro waiting\hanging for 10 seconds when you apply the said plugins for the first time. I've just checked Film Impact plugins and they have such an issue too and I have never had such problems with the previous versions of Premiere Pro and these plugins, it all started in Premiere Pro v. 25. Red Giant plugins have no such issue, Premiere Pro's own effects and transitions also apply the moment you drop them, the Satori, Rowbyte, Zaebects plugins als are instantaneous. This makes it Film Impact and Boris FX. Both are up to date.

I'm not sure if Beta will have the same list of effects as the Stable version. Will it?

If you completely uninstall your plugins does Premiere load without delay?

Is it only the Boris Plugins or all of the effects have a long load time?

Can you try the Beta version and let us know if that helps?

Ok, tried that. Premiere Pro rescanned my audio plugins on launch, showed me what's new in the current version and ... it didn't help, the issue remains

Can you try navigating to Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\ and delete the 25.0 folder then relaunch Premiere.

Yes. Delete the version folder when you relaunch Premiere it will be recreated. <version> = 25.0
