VST Plugin Scanner Fails Entirely When Single Plugin Missing/Invalid
When launching Premiere Pro after the latest update, the VST plugin scanner fails completely if it encounters any single problematic plugin. The scanner provides no option to skip individual plugins and continue scanning, forcing users to either:
1. Cancel the entire scan
2. Locate the missing plugin
3. Remove all references to the problematic plugin
Impact:
- Blocks access to all VST plugins when just one is problematic
- Particularly severe for professional audio users with large VST libraries (500+ plugins)
- Prevents workflow until the issue is resolved
Expected Behavior:
- Scanner should provide a "Skip" button for individual problematic plugins
- Scanning should continue for remaining plugins after skipping
- System should log skipped plugins for later resolution
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install latest Premiere Pro update
2. Launch application with missing/invalid VST plugin
3. Observe scanner behavior when plugin issue detected
Environment:
- Latest Premiere Pro version [25.0.0 Build 61]
- Windows 11 Pro [23H2]
- Professional audio setup with extensive VST library
Thanks.
PS: When opening menu "Help" ► "About ----" in any Adobe app, copy & paste is deactivated, making it impossible to copy and paste the version number for forum requests. Why on earth would you restrict copy and paste in the about display? Adobe, please stop being sooo UX unfriendly and restrictive...
